ohno! i am bad! bwahahahaha! i must have been real tired or drugged up on meds! i haven’t slept-walked and turned off the alarm since highschool and college. normally i wake up and set the alarm for a few minutes later so i have time for my head to clear. but when i am exhausted, i sleep walk to the alarm and turn down the volume or turn it off and on again. i used to have to cover the buttons with mountains of tape in highschool. i would wake up , clawing at the tape and my legs would collapse from under me. in college i didn’t trust myself – i had my dad give me a wake up call to my dorm if i had an important test or morning class. i thought i was over all that… i guess that means i should go to sleep real soon huh? i will have to cover the alarm with something in case i try it again…
notice who’s not in bed when the alarm went off?
thanks you rich for the poohbear fortune teller thingers! i’m open it up now…
I, on the other hand, am the world’s lightest sleeper…. I have a “nature sounds” alarm clock, because anything else scares me too much.
:>
Hmmm. that story sounds very familiar to me…
…I could get up, stop the alarm (I uses a alarmclock with a difficult procedure to stop the alarm), and go back into bed, and fall asleep again.
If my phone rings, I’m fully awake in seconds.
Here in Germany some telephonecompanies offer the service, to wake you via phonecall, well, for money… 🙂
alarms …
Wow … back in high school I needed to have 3 alarms … there was the first “standard” alarm, then the tape player that went on with Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” loud, and finally the “fire house” alarm.
In college (when I was drinking) I needed two alarms, one a half hour before the other … plus a gin gimlet with no ice made the night before … alarm #1 goes off … I roll over, down the gin, go back to sleep … am then not so hung when alarm #2 goes off! heh … those were the days!

Hide the alarm!
Taping buttons down, putting little boxy things over snooze buttons, been there, done that – I know the feeling of not trusting yourself!
What I do now – I’ve got a little battery-operated alarm clock, with a really annoying ring. And every 15 seconds the ring changes.
I set the alarm and hide it from myself, usually so that I’ll have to crawl or something to find it 😉
It worked – for about six months.
Back to the drawing board 🙁
Thinking about putting a pin-operated and time-delayed catch on the snooze button of my clock radio, but then there’s always the wall socket!
