do you????

Well my alarm clock is on the other side of the bedroom so I have to get out of bed to turn it off!! I then stay up and get dressed etc. If the clock was on the bedside table I would hit snooze too many times and be late at getting up!!

I usually stay in bed after the ring, and I will say to myself just one minutes more, I will get up. Most of time I get up, but a few times I fall sleep again :)

When my alarm goes off, I usually get up right away, however this morning was a bit different. I lost my keys last night, and had to stay in a motel. My mother was coming to down, but I needed to tell her to bring my extra set of keys with her. I needed to catch her BEFORE she left for work, and because she lives out of town, she leaves early. I had the front desk give me a wake-up call for 5 AM, I called my mother, and then I went back to sleep for an hour, setting my alarm to get me up at 6. Had I not needed to call Mom, I would have just set my alarm for the later time, and gotten up right away.

i lay in bed and listen to the 7 am news so i can rest a few more minutes and so i can get used to the idea of getting up for whatever i have planned for the day (i also like to hear the weather for that day so i can figure out what to wear).
