Sergeant_Tibbs my old alarm clock made a little click noise before it went off, after a while the click would get me up just in time to hear the godless noise the buzzer made. then during the day if i heard a noise at about the same pitch and length as the clock it would scare me because i thought i would hear the fucking buzzer a second time.

Captain Robo I usually don't hear my alarm clock when it goes off. But when I do, I never have the courage to get up and get ready, I only hit the "sleep" button and doze off. Unfortunately I'll sleep until 5 minutes before school and then my mom will come in and yell about how I'm not up yet.

jin I had an alarm clock once, but then it kept waking me up so I threw it out.

Ninjavenom Mine's the same way. When it buzzes, it screams like animals being slaughtered, or a freakish creature from hell. I can't even stand to hear alarm clocks on TV because of that damn thing.

FS I have a fantastic alarm clock that makes a buzzing sound when it goes off, that drills its way into your skull where it claws at your brain and electrocutes your fillings.

It makes me cranky even when I'm awake and it goes off.

CastroMotorOil i had an 8:00 2 semesters ago and made it to every class, this last semester i had one at like 10 i missed 4 times because i overslept, go figure :/

UnDeath maybe the reason why some people cant get up on time without something waking them up is because your internal clock is 1 hour fast. Or slow, I forgot which, but I believe it is off by an hour. Correct me if Im wrong

Les Waste The earliest class I've had started at 9:10, and I could barely get up for it every morning. I accidentally slept through it a couple of times. But, somehow, I don't have that problem this sememester, what with my earliest class starting at 11:30.

Next semester I have a class that starts at 8:00. Oh shit.

Anonymous You're all full of crap.

I'm in college, and I can barely get myself out of bed every morning.

Les Waste I forgot Noob is still only like 17

When I was that age, I wasn't able to get up for ANYTHING. If I didn't get nine hours of sleep I was a cranky zombie the next day.

But it seemingly changed overnight. As soon as I started college, and my first class didn't start until 10:30, I had no trouble getting enough sleep and waking up in the morning.

AChimp I think what you're saying is true, Bobo. It took me a while to get used to my alarm this year, but after a month, I was getting up before my alarm rang, and consistently in the same 2-3 minute range.

Now that I don't have to be at university early every day, I'm sleeping a lot longer, despite going to bed at the same time. :/

Anonymous sleeping that long is just part of being a teenager I think
I used to sleep longer than that really. I only recall waking up to eat

Les Waste I learned about this in psychology

You probably have no real reason to wake up in the morning, so you don't. Everyone who doesn't have some severe brain damage can wake up at almost any time without an alarm clock. If you have to be at work by 7, so you need to wake up by 6, you can get up without an alarm clock by 6.

But if you don't have any reason to wake up by a certain time, you're body will just keep sleeping until it physically can't sleep any more as opposed to waking up whenever you need to be up by, which is why you can feel more tired after sleeping for 12 hours than you will if you sleep for 4 hours.

I don't know if that's true, but after I learned about it I was able to force myself to get up every morning without my alarm clock. Now, about 95 percent of the time, I wake up about 5 to 10 minutes before my alarm clock goes off, and I never even need it to go start screaming at me.

noob3 how big are they?
Apr 27th, 2003 05:58 PM
Jixby Phillips They're loud enough and i'd think you could find one with a volume knob or something

noob3 are they loud?
Apr 27th, 2003 05:50 PM
Jixby Phillips get an analog alarm clock, all you have to do is wind it and make the little yellow arm point to the hour you want to wake up at

Schimid You're like Rip Van Winkle.

When I sleep, I lack an internal clock.

I sleep for 12-13 hours, I do not wake up until I feel sick and groggy. I cannot wake myself up, it is impossible. I'd get a clock, but those are hard to set I hatem yself
