More dangerous - resting your eyes while driving to work in the morning.
This is why I prefer public transit for my morning commute as opposed to driving.
You can doze off all you want without fear of killing someone. With how sleep deprived I usually am there's no way me forcing myself to drive in the morning is safe. Worst that can happen is the bus driver gets annoyed at you because you slept past the last stop.
I am genuinely finding that it'd easier to just force yourself to get straight up as soon as the alarm rings. Like peeling off a band-aid. Lying in bed after the alarm only makes you more and more drowsy. The more you snooze, the more your body wants to go back to sleep so you end up in this vicious cycle.
I wish… I consistently wake up at least an hour early and am unable to go back to sleep…
Me too. And it's only getting worse as I age.
Must be nice being able to fall asleep after being woken up 😔
I have failed this game twice this week already
It feels so good though
The best one ever
Running behind
I both need this and hate this
i hate needing this
Not as dangerous a game as doing it on an overnight drive.
I had to download an app on my phone where I can set multiple alarms for this exact reason! The first one goes off at 8am, then another one plays every half hour until I get up. It has an "extreme" setting for heavier sleepers where it keeps getting louder until you solve a math equation to turn it off again, but I only use that for special occasions lol
I have one that can only be turn off by reading a QRCode that I printed and put in the bathroom.
Which one is that? That sounds like an even better idea!
QRAlarm on the F-Droid or PlayStore. You need to have some QR to scan already or print one.
like this?
I do them in 15 min increments so I can snooze something every 6 minutes or whatever
Sleep for Android?
I love that app. I got it tuned just how I like it.
I've used it for 10+ years, it's amazing.
I used it way back but haven't found anything comparable after going FOSS only. I miss the adaptive wake-up window.
It's called "Alarm Clock Xtreme & Timer" but I do use it on android
“Siri work alarm 8am
Siri work alarm 8:15am
Siri work alarm 8:20am
….”
🙈
It’s like saying “hit me!” on a 20. You’re gonna lose, but it’s kinda fun.
"Oh fuck!"
This meme made me make more alarms
Resting your eyes means going back to sleep
If your on Android;
Amdroid is the best alarm app I'm aware of. (Called "Alarm clock for heavy sleepers" on play store)

(Best few bucks Ive spent on an app, ad version just has ads in ui, nothing crazy) It has a feature where 5 min after you dismiss the alarm, it'll send a notification asking if your awake. If you don't respond after a while, the alarm goes again. (Times adjustable)
Sorry I've typed more than intended too, I'll put most under a spoiler so its not a wall of text....

It also manages alarms setting as profiles, set up a few types of alarms once and when setting new alarms you only have to set a time and pick a profile.
Tons of different options; You can make them location or calendar dependent, make dismissing them require a certain light level or WiFi signal strength (go turn on a light or stand next to router in other room). You can make your self do some math or captcha to dismiss alarm (I have mine set to require a simple captcha when deleting,). You can make snooze duration get incrementally less, so maybe 10min, then 8, then 6 and so on...
Got a day off or need to wake up early one day, well you can skip or change the time for just the next time the alarm is supposed to go off, then it goes back to normal.
Yup. Had that yesterday. Alarm turned off at 5:30 "mmmm lemme enjoy my warm bed for a tiny minute.." wake up and see 6:05 (the time I normally leave)
At least you still woke up in time to save it. My body does this too. I think it must have some kind of intrinsic clock.
It does make me incredibly fast too. I can get dressed, take a leak and get a lunch pack ready all within 5 minutes!
I'll assume you have taken the leak after going to the fridge
Rest them from what? All that sleep?
