There's no two ways around being able to get up in the morning. Go to bed 7-9 hours before you wish to wake up, that's it. I'm not sure what the obsession is with over engineering alarm clocks, but the problem isn't the little gizmo on your night stand that goes beep and bloop, it's a lack of a solid sleep routine. Sure, every now and then you can will yourself out of bed if you're unrested and need to get up, but you should really be getting good sleep most nights of the week. Go to sleep earlier: the hard way is usually the easier way.
- PotatoEngineer 15y agoNot all of us wake up easily. My body loves to get 9+ hours of sleep, and I need something to kick it out of bed in the morning. At the moment, that's whacking the snoozer a lot, but I need a better solution.
- yock 15y agoAnd I think, ideally, most people follow this pattern. Problem is, my 4-month old daughter (and, I suspect, many, many other 4-month old daughters) haven't heard of this.
- bitsoda 15y agoAbsolutely. Once you have kids you don't sleep through a whole night for at least 18 months. Sometimes never again if you're the paranoid/caring kind.
- groby_b 15y agoMight be relevant to you and parent: There was something on NPR this morning, about some mom adopting French parenting ideas - and one of the things the French are supposedly good at is getting their kids to sleep through the night at 4 months or so. Might be worth looking at :)
