Me? I'm usually a "Pls. a few minutes more of sleep" person. I have never thrown an alarm clock because I might just break it then I'll have to buy a new one. When the alarm starts, I just pushed the snooze button and go back to sleep.

I just set in in my mind the time I will wake up and the inner clock takes over .
I love to be up to see the sunrise and I also like to watch teh sunset and I ususally dont get to bed before 11 pm/ but of ciourse I get a little nap during the day most times.

I tried that too, repeating to myself what time I should wake up. It was successful once, but I wasn't so lucky the next time.
And I don't usually take a nap in the afternoon. Because I feel a little off when I wake up. But I know, when we feel drowsy from lack of sleep, we should listen to what our bodies are saying.

I do envy you, Lakota. I tried not using an alarm clock before. But as expected I overslept. Your like my mom who can wake up so early in the morning, but the difference is she still relies on the alarm clock.

Hubby swacks at it, LOL, if he ever makes contact with it, I am sure I will be buying a new one. As for me I just wake up and turn it off then go get a cup of coffee. I am a light sleeper anyway and once I am wake up, that is it, I am up for the day.

Better to be swacked, than to be bashed! Ahh.. you sure are one of the alarm clock's bestfriends. ^_^ I mean, unlike me who has to be woken up several times by the alarm. If my alarm clock can only talk, it will surely resign from its job!LOL

LoL I am also like you, I don't blame the dang alarm clock for waking me up since I was the one's who set it!;) I try my best not to bothered by it, so I just open my eyes and lay for a while and try bot to sleep because I might get late on whatever plans I have on that morning.

Yap!We were the ones who "ordered" it to wake us up, and the minute it does its "job", we let them fly through the air!LOL
What happens to me is when the alarm starts, I turn it off. Then after 5 minutes, it alarms again. So, that's when i get my few more minutes. Maybe after I've turned it off several times, to be woken up again, by the time it finally stops ringing, I'm fully wide awake.

My alarm clock is set at 6:00 o'clock, but when I am tired that night... I also say "few minutes more" and turn off the snooze button. There were times where I woke up when my alarm clock snooze... usually when I am getting busy to work... lot of works to be done.

Yes, sometimes, I do that, too. If I really need to get up at once, as soon as the alarms starts, I don't beg for a few minutes more of sleep.^_^

DEAR FRIEND, jcj_111776 (285);
If you mannered that way mean you are so friendly to your alarm clock and your neighbors. Because you know how to "shut up" your alarm clock...ha..ha..ha. OK now my turn to tell about my lovely alarm clock. The new product and new version. I use my parrot to wake me up. I've gave thorough and skilled taught for three(3) vocal notes for him to wake me up. The following;
1. Hi Michael, come on...wake up!!!,
2. Hi Friend, die or work!!!, &
3. Yea...Yea...rock it, Michael!!!.
These vocals will never make me angry and always happy to have it.
Thats all from me about my lovely alarm clock.
Thanks jcj_111776, for providing me this good discussion.
