rise and shine…and sleep again
January 27, 2010I am trying to devise a way to get up as soon as my alarm clock rings. Ironic I have these problems waking up when at present, I really need to wake up early. I rarely study at night, so the little study time I have is in the morning–before I go to work–and the 1-hour FX ride to school.
I’ve tried ways of staying wake up the first time my eyes open. I’ve tried sleeping early. Not working. I’ve tried setting the clock 30 minutes earlier so I could finally stand up at the intended time. Not working. I’ve tried walking out of my room and standing outside the house. Not working. What would work?
Recently, I’ve tried exercising. I don’t need the best fat burning exercise, just that exercise that can make my blood circulate and get me moving. I do this for about 10 minutes. Sometimes, it’s working. Sometimes, it’s not. After the routine (which is composed of anything-I-can-think-of exercise and anytime-I-want-to-stop period), I graciously lay down to bed again and set my alarm for another 15 minutes.

Effective na pampagising ko right now eh to catch the replay of PBB. I don’t want to stay too late at night 11:30 PM yata airing dito sa UAE. So nag aalarm ako ng 5:30 AM para mapanood ko yung 5:45 AM replay. Haha.

Posted by sheng at January 28, 2010, 9:37 amwhy set set your alarm clock 15 min (or more) early? that way, even if you don’t wake right away, you still have a few minutes to catch up 
I am setting it up an hour earlier! and i still can’t wake up on time. hehe.
