I don’t get it.
Last night I was in bed by 10 PM. I didn’t read at all, just laid my head on my rather ancient pillow, and the next thing I know my alarm is going off and I really, really didn’t want to move. And when I say that, I mean I didn’t even want to turn off the alarm, because that would have meant actually MOVING my arm.
Anyone else felt like that? What did you do to counter the grogginess?
And were law enforcement involved?? 😀

I always immediately jump out of bed. Laying there makes it worse.

Dude, I just COULDN’T!! It was really strange.
I blame the asteroid.

Ah the innocence of youth – I can still remember when I was sprightly enough to jump out of bed – now I just sorta crawl…..

I do a slow slither-like movement. Last time I jumped out of bed, I was in the top bunk.

get one of those asteroid pillows then.

They have everything.

Have you tried smoking meth? Try smoking meth.

Have you tried being coherent? Try being coherent 😉

Get an alarm clock that sounds like a dog puking
February 15th, 2013 at 2:34 PM
I would be moving at the speed of light 😆

I hate getting up….. I feel like a zombie… I have had to put my alarm the other side of the room otherwise I can turn it off and not remember, and wake up hours later! x
February 15th, 2013 at 2:35 PM
I remember seeing an alarm clock with wheels that when it sounds off, it falls to the floor and runs about until you catch it to turn it off.
I may have to resort to that 😀
February 15th, 2013 at 2:45 PM
I love that idea!! Although I give it two months before you end up throwing it out of a window!
I used to have one that would respond to sound…. great eh?….until I started telling it to ‘kindly be quiet’…. half asleep…. and would again wake up hours later….

One of the benefits of being retired (as opposed to just tired) is that most mornings setting an alarm is NOT required! But on the rare occasion an alarm is required it does make for a concerted effort to ‘obey’ it……………

Well, that’s still at least 6 years away for me…

I get Mr. RFH to make some coffee for me.
February 16th, 2013 at 6:27 AM
With the Keurig he got me, Hubby doesn’t have an excuse NOT to make me coffee. I’m not holding my breath, though 😉

Yes, hit snooze repeatedly for 40 minutes to an hour. No law was involved.
February 16th, 2013 at 6:28 AM
Forty minutes?? Wow…
February 16th, 2013 at 6:54 PM
Sometimes I’ve hit it five times without realizing it and then some more when I realize I have to get up.
February 15th, 2013 at 3:41 PM
Superglue a bunch of thumbtacks (pointy-side up) to the snooze button.
And with a good shovel, deep hole, large bag of lime, and airtight alibi, law-enforcement involvement can be kept to an absolute minimum. Just sayin’.

I love how people assume I would need to hide a body 😀

Think Geek has the roll-away alarm clock. I’ve been considering one myself. They also have another one where a propeller thingy takes off and flies away. You have to fetch the propeller thingy to shut the clock off: http://youtu.be/ablBCBK9ZHM

Eh, it looks like the roll-away one is more effective though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8W82WdRBx4E

The bad thing is, the alarm clock needs to go on Hubby’s side of the bed. That’s why I use my phone. Sigh….
February 16th, 2013 at 12:58 AM
I went home after my shift, went to bed, and woke up 7 hours later. Since I was the one doing the sleeping, does that count as LE involvement?
February 16th, 2013 at 6:33 AM
Indeed it does, sir 😀

When I was a teen I could sleep right through the alarm clock. Then one day my dad placed a PA speaker just outside my door, with a 100w PA amp pushing it. When he heard my alarm go off and kept ringing, he keyed the mic and Blasted me out of my bed. That was effective LOL
