It’s Just So Bloody Hard to Wake Up in The Mornings!
I wonder if any of you have this problem that I face almost every morning. I struggle to wake up every morning! I lost count on the number of times in my working life when I eventually wake up and look at the time or the sunlight beaming down on my ass go,
“WHAT THE F**K? KRIS! CHEESEPIE LAR YOU!”
And amongst all the vulgarities thrown at myself, I will running around the room like a headless chicken with a stick up its ass. Scrambling for the bathroom for a quick shower. Almost squeezing my facial wash on my toothbrush instead of the toothpaste. Flying out of the bathroom with my delicate bits hanging and realizing that my room window is still open. Leaping into my pants. Making a break for the kitchen to tone, moisturize, style hair (I am a vain pot). Zipping to my wardrobe to find that the shirt I want to wear has 12 buttons too many. Rushing to the living room, dialing Comfort cabs hotline while putting on the socks and shoes and half wishing that I have only one leg that morning so that I can save half the time.
3 bloody buttons on EACH sleeve?
.
All is good if taxi fares are cheap but it costs me $25 to travel from Jurong West to Aljunied.
TWENTY BLOODY FIVE DOLLARS!!!!
I think if Comfort has a membership program, I should be a platinum member by now. I should have a GPS equipped to my hand and every time I raise my hand, every available cab should have my position locked onto their maps.
Some might suggest that I sleep earlier.
I try but I can’t! 24 hrs a day isn’t enough. If I sleep the recommended 8 hrs a day, I would be theoratically sleeping 1/3 of my life away! And besides, I am at my creative best around midnight.
Some might suggest that I have more alarm clocks.
My phone has 3 alarms set each day at 10 min intervals and a separate alarm clock that has an irritating rooster sound that makes people want to visit KFC more to annihilate the species forever. I even purposely put my phone and the clock out of reach so that I have to actually get up to switch my alarms off.
What happens? I would actually switch off all the alarms and go back to sleep each and every time. In many instances, I cannot even remember DOING THAT!
How ah? HOW AH?

I have no choice but to sleep at 1130 every night. If I am too tired, sleeping during lunch time is the next best thing.
Krisandro is born on Christmas in the year 1981 and the only resemblance to a rooster is when he wakes up in the morning having spent all night sleeping on one side.
Talk about having a rooster alarm :0

I am a very good alarm clock. I can call you from 5.30am to 7am. Want? Pay me $10 for each call made to your mobile or home. You sure will wake up so that you don’t spend $25 for each trip to the office.
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Welcome to the snoozing club…
I have an alarm clock on my laptop which has 5 timings, a clock radio that has an absolute irritating “beh beh beh” sound (when I’m awake) which sounds every 9 minutes (and I put it to snooze yet again and again) and 2 handphone alarms which sounds every 5 minutes…
On average, I take about half an hour to an hour to “fully” wake up and drag myself out of bed, even though I had 10 hours of sleep and it is already 12 noon…

i have the exact same problem too!
but i practise “waking up” just before i sleep. and it helps!
i pretend to do the alarm sound with my mouth “Rinnnngggggggggggggggg” then open my eyes and sit up. I do tat for about 5-6 times before i really go to bed.
my rationale? abit sublimal conditioning i suppose keke

I R very very amused at esmondng.com’s comment! I shall go try it when I’m ready for bed, which would be 5mins from now.
wohoo!

Eh, I’m a reformed late wake up-er! Nowadays I open my eyes at 7, and get out of bed at 730!
Impressive or what?
The trick is to buy a damn noisy dog who barks incessantly until you go ask him to shuddup. Erm, cough.

Thank God I don’t have that problem. Sometimes, I automatically wake up at the desired timing without the alarm ringing

It’s not how many alarm clocks you have, but the ringtone of the alarm clock. Get one that gets on your nerves – tunes that are really irritating.
Maybe beng-ish tunes from Euro, Techno, Go!?
