On work days, after your alarm goes off, how long do you remain in bed before you actually get up?

What do you find yourself doing between that first alert and actually getting up?

Do you have wake up rituals?

How long do you let it continue?

Anywhere from 15 min to 2.5 hours after the alarm easily. The people ITT who wake up at the same time every day without an alarm y'all are crazy, if I didn't have the alarm I'd never wake up on time, and whenever I'm off work for a week or when I had holidays off school as a kid my sleep schedule would just drift by 2-3 hours forward every day.

    My sleep pattern is very similar. Waking up consistently for work is a constant struggle and makes me long for the 10 months I took off a few years ago when I quit my job.

    Yeah! There was a stretch of my life where I was practically entirely free from this shit as a teenager for like 3 months and it was so cash. I'd wake up to beautiful golden hour sunsets and go to sleep shit posting on 4chan and watching vinesauce Joel from back when he was funny at sunrise, until a few weeks later when it would reverse. The night was so quiet, seldom anyone around, I'd nick mom's cigs and chill on the balcony in between rounds of battlefield 3 and rocking out to some angsty ass music

    Are you able to get enough sleep? If you don’t, it’s perfectly normal that your body tries to sleep longer.

    I almost always set my alarm as a security, but honestly, waking up by myself before the alarm is way better. The alarm is a lot more brutal, being jerked awake by a loud noise is pretty scary after all. I always feel more tired when I’ve been woken up by the alarm, compared to when I wake up naturally.

    I mean, yeah? But if I sleep 8 hours every day, it's not like I'm going to just naturally go to bed at the same time every day, usually I'll go to sleep 2-4 hours later than the previous day and naturally wake up 2-4 hours later as well. If I don't sleep that well I'll then go to sleep earlier the next day. This is quite problematic because of 9-5 shit, but rhat's why both sides of the sleep schedule have to be enforced.
