Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

On work days, after your alarm goes off, how long do you remain in bed before you actually get up?

What do you find yourself doing between that first alert and actually getting up?

Do you have wake up rituals?

How long do you let it continue?

For the last few years I have started to set the alarm to go off at T minus 2 hrs. I will turn it off immediately.

The first hour is a leisurely waking up, checking news, posting a few things to Lemmy, and - these days - checking in on my Forge of Empires account, but it has been listening to a podcast at times or just reading. I will do all those before getting out of bed, unless I need to pee.

The second hour is then shower, breakfast, and getting dressed and out of the door.

Wow! See, I've been staying in bed up to an hour these days. I often watch something or read or listen to a podcast. Immediately waking up feels dang near impossible without the adrenaline of being late. And... honestly... it's the only time I am ever alone. 😬
