HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO GET UP THIS WEEK

How many alarms ⏰ do you stop or snooze before you wake up?

Hi, I’m the girl who has 50 alarms set and doesn’t get up until 5 min before she has to leave. Let’s change that.

2025/12/2 Edited to

Waking up on time is a challenge many of us face, and this week's alarm log reflects just how hard it can be to get out of bed. From the 15th alarm on Monday to waking before the alarm on Friday, the struggle to rise early is real. Many people, like the author, set numerous alarms in an attempt to wake up but end up snoozing repeatedly. This habit can disrupt your sleep cycles, leading to fragmentation and grogginess throughout the day. Sleep experts recommend avoiding the snooze button because fragmented sleep reduces sleep quality and leaves you feeling less refreshed. To improve your morning wake-up time, consider setting a consistent sleep schedule, going to bed earlier, and minimizing screen time before sleep. Techniques such as placing the alarm clock across the room force you to get up to turn it off, which can help overcome the temptation to snooze. Using a gradual light alarm or apps that simulate sunrise can also help your body wake up more naturally. Reflecting on this week’s data shows progress—from multiple alarms on Monday to waking at the first alarm on Wednesday and Thursday—highlighting that small changes can make a difference. Remember, waking up successfully is about consistency and building habits. Celebrate small wins like waking up before the alarm on Friday! Keep tracking your progress weekly to identify what strategies work best for you and create a more energizing morning routine.
