Wake Up | Pad Patter 12/9

[jk703]

Good Day everyone! I am so tired today.... and I need a nap, but unfortunately I have to work, lol! I can't wait to climb in my bed tonight and go to sleep.

My alarm wakes me every morning... roughly around 6... a little later though on weekends. I would prefer to sleep in a little longer, but that usually doesn't happen! I am one of those people that snooze my alarm a bunch of times. I pry drive my husband nuts. The other issues is that I'm really a night owl, lol! That makes getting up harder too.

Are you a night owl, or an Early bird?
Do you use alarms to wake in the mornings?
What time do you wake up?
Are you a snoozer?
I need a new pillow, have a favorite?

I used to be an early bird, but becoming a 24 hour carer messed that up.
I don't need to be up at a special time anymore, so I just wake naturally - either due to light arriving in my room or general low level noise of other household members rousing me.

Are you a night owl, or an Early bird?
Umm, think my tag line under my profile answers that one perfectly! I'm much more of a night owl. I often joke if I'm not being paid, going away or have a very important appointment.....mornings don't exist.

Do you use alarms to wake in the mornings?
If I have a need to then I do use alarms but otherwise no, which to be fair isn't exactly a success

What time do you wake up?
Depends, generally if it's morning I'm happy but seriously any bit of routine went out the window back in July/August when my mum retired from working - I used to get up at least 4/7 days between 10 & 11am so I'd spend some time with my mum before she'd go to work

Are you a snoozer?
Yes, if I have an alarm, there are several set

Are you a night owl, or an Early bird?
early bird

Do you use alarms to wake in the mornings?
alarms every day except Saturday

What time do you wake up?
5:50 Monday through Friday, whenever Saturday, 7:20 Sunday

Are you a snoozer?
No but my second child is and it drives me crazy! I am her eightieth alarm lol

I need a new pillow, have a favorite?
We got ours at Costco a few years ago but I have no idea what brand they are or anything. They’re hard and have one cooling layer and one side is curved and the other is straight.

Do you use alarms to wake in the mornings? No, most days we wake up without an alarm.
What time do you wake up? 7:30am or so
Are you a snoozer? No, not usually, hubby loves to though.
I need a new pillow, have a favorite? I have a fabulous memory foam pillow.

 

[Memaw2Wm]

Are you a night owl, or an Early bird? Definitely a night owl

Do you use alarms to wake in the mornings? Monday-Friday

What time do you wake up? Alarm goes off at 7:09 (I know weird time)

Are you a snoozer? YES!!! I hit the snooze (9 minutes) at least once. I'd hit it a second time, but if I do I get caught up in student arrival chaos at the high school intersection and that's not worth the extra 9 minutes of sleep.

I need a new pillow, have a favorite? I have feather pillows that I bought at least 20 years old from Kohl's. I like these pillows at Choice Hotels, so I bought some for my granddaughter and guest room. When/if I need to replace my current feather pillows, I'll buy these ... firm for the base pillow, soft for the top ... I sleep with two pillows.

Are you a night owl, or an Early bird? Hmm... neither? I used to be a night owl big time, but then I started working from 6:30 am - 3:00 pm so I could pick my kids up from school for many years. They went to a private K-8 school that didn't have busses, so we had to get them ourselves. Anyway, after about a decade of getting up early, I started to adjust to those earlier hours. I'd still rather sleep in a little though.

Do you use alarms to wake in the mornings? I set an alarm, but I usually am awake by the time it goes off. I just lay there and enjoy not getting up until it goes off.

What time do you wake up? 6:30

Are you a snoozer? I used to be a HUGE snoozer, but I rarely can fall back asleep once my alarm goes off these days.

I need a new pillow, have a favorite? We have some that we both love because you can customize them... they are shredded memory foam and the main pillow has a zipper, so you can add more or take some stuffing out until you get it just right. I just looked and they aren't available on Amazon anymore. Gasp! But you can look HERE to see what I'm talking about.

 

[IntenseMagic]

Are you a night owl, or an Early bird?
I used to be such the night owl, but as I've gotten older I've become quite the early bird.

Do you use alarms to wake in the mornings?
Yes, the alarm on my phone during the week. None on the weekend.

What time do you wake up?
5am during the week because I like to have 30-45 minutes just to sit and sip coffee before getting ready. I'm usually up by 7 or so on the weekends.

Are you a snoozer?
Typically I don't hit the snooze button at all. From time to time I do.

I'm going to read up on the pillow suggestions because I need one, too!!

Are you a snoozer? I will usually snooze it once (8 minutes) just because I don't want to get out of my nice warm bed
I need a new pillow, have a favorite? I just get cheapo ones. If there's one I MUST have let me know. I've never bought a "nice" pillow.

 

[ninigoesdigi]

Are you a night owl, or an Early bird?
I used to be a night owl but not anymore since mid forties Now it's early bird wether I want it or not

Do you use alarms to wake in the mornings?
If it's an important departure day yes but usually I am well awake before anything starts, again, weclome to the 50's lol

What time do you wake up?
5:30 at worst, 6 at best... I mean that I really don't want to wake up at 5:30 but I just naturally do. I just can't get back to sleep, whatever I try

Are you a snoozer?
Not anymore. See above lol

I need a new pillow, have a favorite?
I tried my hubby's Tempure pillow while he was away for work and I liked it a lot. I am mostly a side sleeper and the heigh of it was fitting my needs. The softness was nice too. Not too hard, soft enough.
But I don't know the type of Tempur.
I think it's something like that

 

[Esther Wisdom]

I feel I'm my most creative at night. I am one of those people that can live on 4 hours asleep and that usually benefits me. Stay up late and then usually awake by 5-5:30 am. Like to catch up on email at that time of day.

[dawnmarch]

I feel like I hardly sleep at all anymore but now that I'm old, I tend to go to bed early-ish and wake up early.
I like to replace my pillow frequently because ewww pillows accumulate gunk. I have a nice fluffy pillow from Target that I like and that isn't too expensive.

That's the best way to wake... I would take those versions over my alarm any day, lol!

When the kids were little I was better at getting up earlier - dropping off at day care and getting to work so I could leave by a specific time. Now, I'm a little more flexible... but I wish I woke more easily!
Off to find similar pillows!

Lol, I wake and get right in the shower. I don't talk much, and just get ready. Then when I leave I make my tea. If I sat and had my tea I wouldn't want to leave my house!

5:30. I think that is when my first alarm goes off... sometimes 5:40... then snooze at least 2 times.

I wish my body was a little bit of an earlier riser on it's own. When not at work, I'm usually am up by 7.... but would love to sleep until 8 if I had no demands on my day! I hear you on the nice warm bed - especially in fall and winter!

Thanks, Nini! I'll look into the pillow/kind. I'm a side sleeper too! I get what you mean by naturally waking - I wish my time was a smidge earlier! If no work, I'm usually 7. The 50's are meh, lol! At least for me - but I'm still here!

I feel I'm my most creative at night. I am one of those people that can live on 4 hours asleep and that usually benefits me. Stay up late and then usually awake by 5-5:30 am. Like to catch up on email at that time of day.

I also wish I needed less sleep. I think my best is 7 hours. I totally understand the creativity at night - it's always been a little more me time than any other time.
