No backup alarms. No snooze. Just one shot to wake up or ruin my whole day. It’s the thrill I live for.

If I start hitting snooze, I’ll eventually do it on autopilot—and at that point, my alarm might as well not exist.
So I had to train myself not to snooze. In fact, I flipped the approach: I set my alarm for well after I usually wake up—just in case I feel awful and end up sleeping in by an hour and a half.
I also use lights that gradually brighten about 30 minutes before I need to get up. It’s made a huge difference. I wake up less irritated, and it turns out traditional alarms just make me angry.

Yep. I once had 4 alarms spread out around the house—one of them in the kitchen—just to force myself to get up.And somehow, I’d still wake up in my closet, no memory of walking around and turning them all off. Sleep-me had goals.

Snoozing doesn’t help—it just makes it worse. No matter how many times you hit it, you never actually feel better. Eventually, I realized the best thing you can do is just get up the first time. Skip the cycle of half-asleep misery and start the day already.

Hitting snooze is a no-go. It just makes things worse, since those extra minutes aren't quality sleep anyway. I keep my alarm across the room so I have to get out of bed to shut it off.
