On work days, after your alarm goes off, how long do you remain in bed before you actually get up?
What do you find yourself doing between that first alert and actually getting up?
Do you have wake up rituals?
How long do you let it continue?
Sometimes around 10-20 minutes. Usually checking the time (both phones and watch), followed trying to find my water bottle (which I bring when I sleep on my bed). Around 2-3 minutes
Can’t go anywhere without my water bottle. 💜
Wow, it’s very rare instance for me to see somebody share the similar behavior of always carrying bottle of water whenever they’re go :)
Oh absolutely. I always have a liter bottle with me night and day. At home. Work. Everywhere. The whole family does the same. It’s probably a byproduct of living in deserts and extreme heat climates for years, but it’s a good habit for everyone. Water makes the body happy!
For me personally, it’s because water give the best hydration compared to something viral and trendy like Boba Tea. Most of these drink may help me cooldown, but make me thirstier than ever (thanks to the preservatives and sugars they’re excessively use). Because of that, I have my own requirements for the new bottle I would buy to not less than 750-1000ml (which most of it, are standard drink bottle for my friends to have since they’re small)
53 minutes, at time of writing.

I get out of bed right away. I’ve placed my alarm clock at the other side of the room and I sleep in an elevated bed, so once I’ve turned off the alarm, I can’t just trivially climb back into my bed, even when I haven’t slept enough.
(I use a Lexon Flip Mini and I’m satisfied with both the noise it makes and the way it works. There’s no way I would trust my phone with that task. I set phone alarms for many other things, that said.)
After I’m up, I immediately go to the bathroom and go through a whole routine (centered on showering), which I trained myself to always do in the same order so I wouldn’t have to think about it. After that, I dress in the clothes I’d laid out the evening before, I go back into my room (which contains both my bed and a tiny kitchen), eat, and put food and water/tea for the day into my bag.
On my days off, if I’m not feeling too tired and discouraged, I go for a run just after turning off my alarm and go through the bathroom routine just after coming back.
Like many people in the comments, I typically wake up just before the alarm — unless I haven’t slept enough for a few days, which used to be a rare occurence but happens way too often nowadays.
I looked up that flip mini. It’s fun.
45 minutes. I remember a Japanese study from years ago concluded, that 45 minutes was the optimal amount of time needed to waken
Then I’m doing excellent!
The bedroom alarm? Immediately. It’s very loud and I refuse to disturb sibling sleep for that long.
My phone alarm? Whine and roll around while muting it because it’s next to me then get up in a few minutes.
I am half awake at least 15 minutes before my alarm. As soon as I hear the first 3 notes I sit straight in bed and get up.
I hate being like this.
I’m usually already awake by the time my alarm goes off. It’s just a fallback. I start every day the same. I open the window, put seeds out for the pigeons, pet my cat who usually wakes up with me, drink coffee while watching the pigeons together with my cat, then I get back into bed and scroll Lemmy until it’s actually time to get ready. Sometimes past the time to get ready so from time to time I run late despite already being up for several hours.

By what sorcery is such possible!
Get to bed early. Takes some trial and error to figure out how many hours you need, but once you’ve done that, you can wake up without an alarm.
PTSD in my case

NEGATIVE latency!
Depends on how sleep deprived I am. It was about 30 min today.
I usually wake up before the alarm. If I don’t, I get up immediately, I don’t like staying in the bed.
Alarm? You all use alarms?
Anywhere from 15 min to 2.5 hours after the alarm easily. The people ITT who wake up at the same time every day without an alarm y’all are crazy, if I didn’t have the alarm I’d never wake up on time, and whenever I’m off work for a week or when I had holidays off school as a kid my sleep schedule would just drift by 2-3 hours forward every day.
Are you able to get enough sleep? If you don’t, it’s perfectly normal that your body tries to sleep longer.
I almost always set my alarm as a security, but honestly, waking up by myself before the alarm is way better. The alarm is a lot more brutal, being jerked awake by a loud noise is pretty scary after all. I always feel more tired when I’ve been woken up by the alarm, compared to when I wake up naturally.
I mean, yeah? But if I sleep 8 hours every day, it’s not like I’m going to just naturally go to bed at the same time every day, usually I’ll go to sleep 2-4 hours later than the previous day and naturally wake up 2-4 hours later as well. If I don’t sleep that well I’ll then go to sleep earlier the next day. This is quite problematic because of 9-5 shit, but rhat’s why both sides of the sleep schedule have to be enforced.
What’s “ITT”?

My sleep pattern is very similar. Waking up consistently for work is a constant struggle and makes me long for the 10 months I took off a few years ago when I quit my job.
Yeah! There was a stretch of my life where I was practically entirely free from this shit as a teenager for like 3 months and it was so cash. I’d wake up to beautiful golden hour sunsets and go to sleep shit posting on 4chan and watching vinesauce Joel from back when he was funny at sunrise, until a few weeks later when it would reverse. The night was so quiet, seldom anyone around, I’d nick mom’s cigs and chill on the balcony in between rounds of battlefield 3 and rocking out or crying to some angsty ass music
Oh wow!
The whole day
I have two alarms. The first one is sort of a soft-wake up. Sometimes I’ll wake then and fuss around on my phone for a while, sometimes I’ll just shut it off and go back to sleep, but either way I can’t ignore it or it will start reading news headlines.
Second alarm is a half hour later, that one means it’s time to wake up, and I have 15 minutes to get out of bed if I want to keep my routine on pace, or I need to immediately get in the shower if I didn’t shower the night before.
I technically also then have a third alarm that assumes I’m dressed and had breakfast and everything, and that just means it’s time to pack my shit and get out the door. It mostly just keeps me from stressing about watching the clock.
In keeping with my routine I pretty much always arrive to work in a five minute window, and most of that variation is just how much time I spent petting the cat before I finally went out the door.
I kind of like this initial alarm idea. Sleep if you want. Play if you want. But the second alarm is business time!
Estimate based on right now: 30 min.
If I’m being responsible instead of doom-scrolling: 20 min tops.
