How do you wake up?

I always set my alarm, but it never fails..I always wake up 5, 10, or 15 minutes before it's set to go off!

I set my phone alarm, and it is Seasons of Love from RENT. It also goes off every 7 minutes twice or so if I just press snooze. I also set my clock for an hour later just in case the others do not wake me up so I still have time to get ready.

I stopped using an alarm not too long ago. I figured that when I wake up I'm ready for the day. I usually wake at 5, and laze in bed until 5:30 when I need to get up for work.

See picture below. He is my alarm clock but he has yet to adjust to the time change. So I've been getting up at 5 in stead of 6. I try my hardest to get him to "sleep" in but it doesn't work. Then he's over tired because his morning nap is an hour later... I love the time change for the other 3 kids.. now if I can only get him back on schedule things would be great! My butt is dragging these days!

I go to bed pretty early, so I don't mind getting up in the morning.

I'm the same way. I hate waking up before the alarm goes off.

I almost never wake up early unless the cat wakes me up.

I wake up when my body tells me. Different times everyday. DH gets the kids up for school and work and I hardly ever hear them anymore. If I have to get up for a reason my DH wakes me.

If its a work day I seem to beat out the alarm. If its a stay at home day, Im still up before the alarm but usally only by a few minutes ( I only set an alarm because depending on the day it may be noon before I get up otherwise)

I wake up usually after 8 hours of sleep. Sometimes my DH wakes me up earlier, but that is only if he really needs something or I have asked. If he is out of town, I can sometimes sleep till 9:30 or 10, but usually not, because the Pug needs to pee.
