    Yip, I have 4 alarms all set at different times and FOR different times :D I still hate getting out of bed but I always get up in time for work.

    yeah I just get up and turn off the alarms and go back in bed.
    I still make it to everywhere I need to be, but I wait until the very last minute, which is only a problem because there are many things I need to do before heading to work.

    Do you exercise? I find I sleep better and can spring out of bed in the morning if I exercise.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    Ive always been one to set my alarm liike 45 minutes before I really need to get up. I just like to wake up, hit snooze, and go back to sleep. Its the best. Unfortunately where I'm staying while I wait to move, I dont think they'd appreciate the alarm going of every 10 minutes for an hour lol.

    I do the same during the week, but I have to set 3 alarms over the space of 45 mins incase I turn them off. The first is Betterman (nice and gentle starting), followed by GTF. When the finally alarm, Do The Evolution goe off, I know it's time to haul ass to the shower :(

    My housemates don't appreciate it too much at 5am but it really is necessary. :o
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    oh yeah, all about the exercise, and that's really the main problem in all of this- I really, really, really dislike exercising at night, so I have to go early in the A.M. but now...I can't get up to do it. It's decreased the level of my physical activity. And like last night I played soccer, and I couldn't sleep (I stay wired after I exercise for like ever) so then of course, couldn't get up to exercise this morning. I make it to work at the last minute because I HAVE to, but I can't get out of bed to make it to the gym.

    I have new upstairs neighbours and a ceiling made out of some thin papery substance. Getting to sleep last night was a chore.

    Try green tea, it helps ;)..

    before bed? it has caffeine? I do usually have tea once I'm at work in the morning. but I usually have chamomile at night to both warm me up and relax which is supposedly good for going to sleep (chamomile is herbal tea so it doesn't have caffeine).

    Perhaps consider having a few scoops of green tea ice cream..you like that flavor don't you? :)..

    I think you sound a bit disorganized....you throw together some wrinkled clothes?
    Why are they wrinkled?
    Are they dirty?
    You need to start organizing your time better or buy more clothes so you have clean, unwrinkled clothes to wear to work.
    I don't know where you work, but you should always be presentable and clean.

    yeah green tea is an actual tea plant, whereas something like chamomile is a different plant but referred to as "tea" because you steep it. if it's a kind of tea that comes from a tea plant, it has caffeine.

    my clothes are actually wrinkled because I don't have any storage space, so when the clothes come out I just leave them in the basket (yes always clean thoug). My office is extremely casual, it doesn't really matter what I look like. it's more of an example of how I'm always rushed in the morning.

    Have you ever tried biking to work? The extra exercise may also help you fall asleep faster..

    I usually either bike or walk to work. it's a bit extra exercise but it's not very far to the office. it's nice though. I bike a lot on the weekends too. you?

    You should try folding them before you put them in the basket.
    I always kick myself when I don't take them right out of the dryer and fold them because you just canNOT get those darn wrinkles out.
    But since it is sunny and nice out, I have put the clothes outside to dry today and save energy.
    Try laying out everything you need for your morning routine the night before.

    I don't know, it could. the nutritional info might be on the maker's website.
