How many times did you hit snooze this morning?
 
Idk, hubby hit snooze a couple of times and then got up and went to work and I fell back to sleep. DD is still sleeping and it's after 10 am here. #joysofhybridschool

I'm a B girl... and I am NOT a morning person.

My kids are A... since I am their alarm.

My kids are hybrid, but they are virtual today. They have to be in their classrooms by the designated times. We are scheduled virtual I guess you could say. It works better for us than the relaxed atmosphere we had from March-June. This time they get live stream teaching in the first 1/2 hour of each period. So, my 16 year old is 7:30 and my 12 year old is 8:15. Up, eaten, and at their desks.
 
The children moving around wakes me. I get up when the first one needs my help/attention. A few years ago i had ana alarm so i got up first to make sure they are all up and school lunches are made etc. They can do their own lunch now, and both girls have alarm clocks. My son's own body clock gets him up every single day at the same time, he only struggles when the clocks move.
 
D. None of the above. :giggle
For the last year or so, I have started waking up early naturally, around 6:30-7:30am most days. I don't always feel totally rested, but I usually can't go back to sleep. Past schedules would have still meant setting an alarm, since I had to be up earlier than that, but with the current situation I rarely need to bother.

DH will set an alarm during the week, but wakes up before it goes off a lot of days, especially since he's working from home now and doesn't have to be up nearly as early.

Both of my "kids" are heavy sleepers and will sleep right through alarms, so I am usually the one waking them. How easily they get up varies a lot from day to day. They both slip into a somewhat nocturnal mode as their natural tendency, probably somewhat as a result of their rooms being on the west side of the house and not getting morning light. When we built our house, we chose our lot based on the master bedroom getting morning light, since our previous apartment faced west and DH and I would sleep until 3 in the afternoon on the weekends, which made Monday mornings all that much harder. :p We could have had the mirror image of the layout, which would have given the kids' (who didn't exist yet :lol) rooms morning light as well, but that would have meant almost an entire wall of windows on the west side, which didn't seem like the best option in the Texas heat. :rolleyes:
 
A. I got right up, but I sure didn't want to! I debated snoozing for 30 minutes extra but that cuts out my morning workout and study so I forced myself out of bed on time.
 
Zero. No need for an alarm most days.

But when I do use an alarm I never hit snooze. I'm a morning bird and once I'm awake rarely can I fall back asleep.
 
I just hit it once. I always do. Haha DH asks me why I even bother to set an alarm and I tell him because if I didn't, I might sleep til noon. I'm such a night owl, that I don't want to get up very early.
 
I have the dog alarm. She starts howling between 7 and 7:30am every morning. Although most mornings my body wakes up around that time on its own. Today, I got to sleep until 8am.

In a few weeks, I will be working Early Voting and have to be at the site at 7am, so I will be setting an alarm but no snoozes as the alarm will be for as late as I can make it.
 
I always hit the snooze one time and that's it. I have 5 minutes to psych myself up to get out of bed. But I'm a morning person so it's usually not too hard.

My older kids set their own alarms and are pretty good about getting up and getting going when they need to.

My younger kids have a rule that they have to stay in their bed until 8. If they are still sleeping by 8:20 or so (it's rare) I usually wake them up because we need to have bkfst and get going on our day.
 
This is currently a sore spot for me. :P

My 6yo considers 6:30 am "sleeping in" so I wake up when he does. I sometimes fall back asleep until my alarm goes off at 7. I snooze it at least twice now that I'm permanently working from home and only need to stroll into the office to start working. Between 7:30 and 8 am, I make his bed (or he will get on his Zoom call for school looking like he lives in a pigsty!) and open up the curtains, get the kids' breakfast out (nothing I have to cook), change clothes, get something to drink, and get ready to work. Unless I have a morning Zoom meeting, I prefer to shower when I'm more awake at lunchtime.

Before I started this new job & my kids changed virtual schedules, I was able to roll out of bed closer to 9 am and spend an hour or so waking up before I actually had to work. The new job requires a lot more brainpower so I have to be on it immediately. :P
 
Most weekdays it’s 0-1. It depends on how early my first meeting is. Anytime I have to get up before 7, I rely on an alarm. On weekends I don’t normally set an alarm. I actually can’t remember if I got up before my alarm this morning :blush
 
I'm between A and B. I hit the snooze, but then my son gets up at the same time and when I hear him going to get in the shower I know that if I want a hot shower, I have to get up right then. :giggle

I used to be an awful snoozer. I'd plan for at least 3 snoozes because the joy it gave me to fall back asleep. Lol! Now as I'm getting *cough* older *cough* I don't seem to be able to go back to sleep and often I'm waking up before my alarm even goes off. That is super annoying. :eyeroll
 
1-2 snoozes ... this morning it was two, which invariably makes me 10 minutes late to work. <sigh> Then again I usually arrive at 8AM and my boss comes in at 10AM, so not a huge big deal. Office hours start at 9AM.
 
I never hit snooze... but I also never get right up... lol! I always have to build in time to play around on my phone a bit before I get out of bed. Also, unless it's an out of the normal wake up time, I'm almost always awake before my alarm goes off.
 
I don’t even set my alarm 95% of the time, however when I did/do need to I always build in a few extra alarms as I’m not a morning person at all. When I was studying and had to leave by 6.45am, I would have alarms set for 5.30, 5.40 and 5.45 which was the time I actually had to get up
