What do you wake up to?

[MAYNARDSMOM]

Curious what other people wake up to?
Buzzer/music/soothing sounds?

Most morning I wake up a few minutes before the alarm goes off so I don't have to hear that awful buzzing noise!!

 

[spyrosmom]

Music on the radio. Before we got married, I was a buzzy alarm person, but DH did the radio w/ lots of snoozes. I don't do snoozes. So now we just do the radio, no snoozes. A lot of the time, I wake up before the alarm, esp in the summer when the sun's out. Sucks on the weekends when I'm wide awake and want to be snoozing, though!

I have pretty severe insomnia and haven't needed an alarm in years. I guess the up side is not having to hear that horrible beeping/buzzing the DH uses......it never goes off anymore, I'm always up so I just wake him up before it goes off.

I wake up to boxers
Mercedes is usually the first to get up. She is super hungry in the morning and she knows I get one cup of coffee before she gets her breakfast. She gets me up and moving...snap-snap-chop-chop- she gets the morning rolling

Most days, the kitty alarm goes off before anything else! He always tries to knock my steel and very heavy lamp on my head (successfully sometimes, ouch!). If not KA, then DH's alarm goes off around 6 am. He gets up, I roll over and doze back to sleep. My alarm goes off (radio) at about 7 am. I get one snooze, but am usually up before it goes off.

If I were a morning person, I'd get up with the KA or DH and get a workout in! Alas, I hate mornings!

If I wake up on my own, it's to talk radio which I listen to so I don't think. If I'm jolted awake, it's by a loud alarm.

I have an inner alarm clock...have not used a real alarm clock in years. The only time I set an alarm is if I have to get up early and catch a flight in the morning.

NPR. I wake up to Garrison Keillor's Writer's Almanac, and when Marketplace is over, it's time to get up. I never have to look at the clock.

Pup wake up call

I wake up every morning at 530 to my pup Sushi leaning paws up on the side of my bed to pick him up for a snuggle. He can jump up but he is too lazy that early in the morning. So we snuggle for 30 minutes, then I get up for work and Sushi spends the morning in bed under the covers next to my husband until he has to get up for work. He really is the most spoiled pup!

My inner alarm usually wakes me up between 5 and 5:15. Either that or one of the cats walks across my head.

These days I am woken up by the sounds of my baby boy crying for his bottle. When I go back to work in September, it will be my alarm and tehn hopefully Cathe telling me "Let's get started with the warmup" lol.

my bunny either jumps on my bed or rattles his food crock to get my attention around 6am, my alarm follows shortly thereafter with loud beeping.

 

[LauraMax]

Static, b/c I can't figure out how to tune my radio on my alarm clock.

 

[lauramangano]

Music on the alarm clock.....either that or my dog having some gastrointestinal distress...

 

[intensityjunkie]

right now I wake up when my baby wakes up, but if I have to use an alarm I set it to the radio and not very loud. Thats all I need to wake up as I'm a light sleeper and if an alarm wakes me up I get a small panic attack and I HATE waking up all abrupt like that.

 

[JeanneMarie]

I wake up at the same time each day, but do it on my own. No alarm needed!

If I need an alarm, I set the alarm on my cell phone. It plays my ringtone which is the theme from "I Dream of Jeannie"!

 

[carres1973]

Radio for me too. I am so in awe of all of you that can wake up without an alarm clock! My alarm goes off, I hit snooze TWICE, and then finally drag myself up. I have to set my alarm for 15 minutes earler than I need to get up!

my baby!

I removed my alarm clock from my bedroom, and now wake to my Bose CD player that is in the living room (it's close enough to hear, but far enough so I can't turn it off!). I use the same French CD (usually a compilation) for a few weeks or months, then when I get to the point where I start hearing the music before it even goes off---because my brain has gotten programmed to hear it---or I just get bored, I change the CD.

At first it's either my internal 5am alarm, or DH's clock radio alarm which is tuned to some awful talk radio station. If that all fails then it's my 6am cell ph alarm playing "Girls just wanna have fun".
