I don't even need the alarm, in fact I haven't set the alarm on my clock since the day I bought it. I go to sleep telling myself I need to be up at 4am, or 7am, whatever, and I wake up about 5 minutes before I need to be up.

Unfortunately, more often than not, I wake up 15-30 minutes before my alarm time. This is too late to go back to sleep. It is also too early to wake Faye so, unless she has awakened early (which she often does) I lay there until the alarm goes off. I am not proud of this.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-41148023095670796492010-10-21T16:55:05.797-07:002010-10-21T16:55:05.797-07:00Ummmm, BTW, your clock has been hanging around my ...Ummmm, BTW, your clock has been hanging around my blog and dissing you.

It's the hitting of the wall that it does not like. <br />I'm a night owl, and there is nothing I can do about it. I have tried sleeping pills (do absolutely NOTHING for me), melatonin, etc, etc. My internal clock is convinced that I am to be awake until 4 or 5 a.m. and then not crawl out of bed til at least 10. Any earlier than that, and you better get the hell out of my way for the first 15 minutes.
