Do you use the "snooze" button on your alarm? I do. I think I probably hit at least three or four times everymorning.
My alarm goes of at 6:29 am every morning and every morning I slap the snooze button. Then it goes off at 6:35, 6:41, and 6:47. At 6:47 I force myself to sit up in bed. I know that if I don't get my kids up in the next few minutes we'll definitely be late for school. We have to leave the house at 7:40 (translation: we scream our way to the car at 7:58 each day).
I would love to be one of those people who gets into bed at a decent hour and wakes up to shower and cook breakfast before everyone else wakes up. I'd really like to wake up at 5 and exercise. Years ago, I used to wake up at 5am and hit a 5:30am yoga class every morning. Some mornings I'd even have time for a quick run when I got home. What happened? I can't seem to get myself to fall asleep early in the evening. I find myself up working. If I'm working on a specific project it is not unusual to find myself still working past 1 or 2 am.
If I want something, shouldn't I figure out how to make it happen? I've been spending some time thinking about how to get back to a place where I feel less stressed, rushed, and frazzled. A place where I'm following my own advice - Mom is key and Mom must be whole and well. I'm not feeling so whole lately.
What to do? Perhaps I should set the alarm for 6am? Guess what? I am pretty sure that I'd still press "snooze" until 6:47am.

Yikes.
I stay up way too late too. It's the only time of day when I get alone time. It's a hard habit to break too.
Fiona, I am the queen of the snooze button! I think I should be fined for snooze abuse.
Glad to hear we're not the only family "screaming our way to the car!"

Love the snooze button, but my alarm starts at 4:45 (yes really)! Try the 6 am you may surprise yourself by getting up at 6:25!
I think I'm in for a rude awakening when I have kids...I currently get up at 8:15 during the week and like 10 during the weekends...I am in no way a morning person. I tried setting my alarm to go to the gym and finally I just accepted that I won't get up until I know I have to...like you said if I set my alarm for earlier knowing I didn't actually HAVE to be up till whatever time...there is no way I'd get up!
yea.. 5 AM and exercising... yea that's that totally NOT cool in my book...
I definitely use the snooze button, too. Usually I'll set the alarm 10 minutes earlier than what time I need to wake up so I can hit the snooze at least once...which then turns into 3 times. :)
I do the same thing! Im so ashamed because lately I wake up late, which makes the kids wake up late and we have a late start on the school day. Which is really bad, since we homeschool! uuugggghhhh . You've just inspired a blogpost out of me. LOL!
I LOVE my snooze button way too much! I really need to get to bed earlier too. I keep saying that and it doesn't happen. Someday...maybe....
Oh my gosh, I do exactly the same thing. So what I did to counteract it, I got a wake up call. Just like when you stay in a hotel. It's an on-line service and you set it up to call you, but it only gives you ONE snooze of about 5 minutes. After that, I KNOW I have to get up because I'll go back to sleep for hours if I don't. Plus I like it because I can set different times for different days of the week. How cool is that!
