I used to regularly snooze my alarm which i had set for 7:00, however recently i have noticed that i directly wake up by my alarm at 7:10 and don’t remember snoozing my alarm!
Of course my phone can’t automatically snooze so i think that i have developed a habit and subconsciously snooze with minimal brain activity so i don’t remember
Has anyone else experienced this?
Happens, or sleeping through the alarm.
I no longer snooze now. I set the alarm to the latest time I can get up and still be on time. Either I wake up on my own or the alarm forces me out of bed.
Snoozing is stupid, you already interrupt your sleep for nothing. I’d much rather maximize uninterrupted sleeping time.
I woke up this morning three hours after my alarm (work started quite late so I was fine in that regard), with my phone sitting next to me (I keep it across the room). What’s more is I also had a salt shaker next to me, and a big pile of salt underneath me.
So apparently this happened:
- My alarm went off
- I got up, went across the room, and turned it off
- Then I went to the kitchen and got a salt shaker
- Then I shook that shaker over my bed for a long time. Or, I unscrewed the cap and poured the salt then screwed the cap back on. It was a lot of salt. Like a couple tablespoons at least
- Went back to sleep
Do you have a carbon monoxide detector?
I’ve got some kind of detector on my ceiling. Unsure if it’s for smoke or carbon monoxide
On the ceiling is smoke detector. Carbon monoxide detectors go down low.
Then no I don’t think I do. I’m not having any headaches, and no other weird changes. I might get a CO detector anyway though.
Some are integrated in smoke detectors. Down low is a myth based on many detectors using an outlet. CO is lighter than air but widely disperses in a room.
Or something was standing next to your bed while you were asleep and thought that some salt would make you taste better.
Dear god that’s terrifying. Am I not tasty enough??
JEFFREY DAHMER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
Are you on Ambien? I heard that shit can make you wake up in a Walmart with your car keys in your hand when you went to sleep in your bed.
also try changing your alarm tone or turning off snooze. A lot of device allow that. I change my alarm sound when I noticed that happening
Oh, so instead of snoozing, the only option becomes “turn off”? That won’t end well.
Don’t mean to jump on you, and I’m sure that would work for some. But for those who are past that point… Less so.
most devices have the turn off right next to snooze anyway, but yea I can see where that might be counterproductive if they are sleeping through it. They do make puzzle alarms as well for that that require you to do something in order to turn it off, that might be a better solution
yeah, i’ve got one where it puts some colored circles in a grid and tells you to tap all the green ones or whatever. i tried the answer-a-math-problem ones, but i’m really dumb before coffee.
Suggestion that did a lot for me. Get cheap smart lights or at least a smart outlet. Turn them on before your alarm (gradual ramp up is ideal, but just turning on is better than nothing). It makes mornings a lot less brutal.
Sleep cycles are approximately 90 minutes. Try to time your alarms close to one of these windows of time when a cycle is ending.
You will have a much easier time waking up before you drop into deep sleep, you likely be less groggy as well.
