If I wake up feeling well rested and ready to face the day then going to work is the last thing I want to do! I’m used to being tired and miserable at work, if I’m feeling good I want to take the day off to enjoy it lol
I’ve done that before. Woke up with an insane amount of motivation and felt like I could accomplish anything that day. Called out of work as I was driving there and wound up getting a lot of personal stuff done I had been putting off for months. It was glorious.
Fuck yeah. Capitalism doesn’t deserve you at your best. Save that resource for yourself
Plot twist: op owns the company
Waking up naturally means you complete a sleep cycle, which is why you feel rested
Ha! This just happened to me yesterday. Thankfully the panic was unwarranted, and I had indeed woken before the alarm.
Today for me. Dreamed about something but holy did I feel rested.
Suspicious
To me this means mania is coming
“wow I feel great…oh fuck” good to know your signs though
Exactly
I’ve started using my favorite podcast as an alarm, along with a lamp plugged into a timer outlet. Works absolute wonders. Set both to turn on half an hour before I want to wake up, and it’s just enough to wake me up without ruining my morning
Of course I still have an emergency GET THE FUCK UP YOU’RE GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK alarm, but it’s rare that I actually need it
Yeah. Changing to a light based alarm did wonders for me.
That and having a job I don’t have to show up on the dot for…
That and having a job I don’t have to show up on the dot for…
I wish it did that for me when I had one of those jobs… That job is why I still need that “you’re gonna be late” alarm. It’s hard to kick the habit of staying in bed until I feel like going to work, because I don’t feel like going to work
Now that I have kids I have no choice but to get up anyway!
But I set up light alarms in their rooms too so that everyone gets the same chance at waking up in the morning.
I love that I can’t identify with this. My biological clock is phenomenal. I only use an alarm as a safety net when I have an early morning commitment, but I usually end up turning it off the next morning well before it would go off.
The joke is that the alarm failed to go off, or you failed to wake from it thus oversleeping.
I’m the same way. Had to wake up at five a month ago, and found myself up at 4:58.
Me when I fell asleep to brown noise on a battery-greedy music player.
Turns out it was almost two hours after the alarm had been SUPPOSED to go off!
If I set the alarm for 7 on a weekday, I’ll snooze it 3 times. I don’t set the alarm at all on weekends and usually wake up and hop right out of bed at 7.
