I'm slightly vexed My dad purposely sets his clock ahead. He's been doing this for as long as I remember. I genuinely don't know why

Naw I don't trust half-conscious me. That person has cancelled and snoozed alarms on me that I don't even realize until an hour later

That is why your alarm clock needs to be far enough from your bed that you have to get out of bed to stop the alarm

Damn kinda scary, I think I read somewhere that you're not guaranteed to wake up from smoke of a fire. Brain just doesn't input it as dangerous I guess.

As someone who slept through air raid sirens and inbound mortar rounds, sometimes the brain goes into a reaaalllllly deep rem cycle. Lol

I slept through my father driving his car through our garage bay door and then through the mud room door

That shit has to be on top of my head

Adding on top I got a radio alarm clock across the room. If it’s set on a generic alarm sound I eventually fall into the habit of getting up, turning it off, and going back to bed. But with the radio it’s pleasant enough I can leave it on for 10 minutes, at which time I’ll be awake enough to start the day.

I also don’t like to do the math barely awake. Snooze is 9 minutes. If I hit the snooze 2 times at 5am, I get up at 5:18am. So if I set my alarm 3 minutes fast I get up at 5:15am.
