health When you wake up an hour before your alarm, what do you do?

[Usual Crypty 4,678]

Actually, usual morning for me. I'm up between 5 and 6 am and my alarm is set to 7 am from the ol' good times ^•^

So answering the question, I'll go to make a breakfast probably.

If I am not able to fall asleep anymore, I make some coffee and start working.

I never use an alarm clock I wake up myself. When I wake up I usually get up right away and take a cold shower. (if I wake up in the morning and not at night even if it's early in the morning even on weekends).

It depends on the urgency of things after. If it's a day where I can choose my schedule, I just .png. If I do have something that must be done, I get grumpy because I still feel tired and so I try to go to sleep before the alarm. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Then I drag myself out of bed and get ready for work, and by the time I'm there and absorbing sunlight I feel better. The coffee and meds might have something to do with that too

However, something I've been noticing is that I pretty much always wake up halfway through the night. Dunno why that is

I tend to wake up 2-3 hours before my 4:30am alarm(like between 1-3am) or several times in the middle of the night.

I do not know why. I have tried multiple sleep aids over the years. Recently, I found it best to try and take a nap for 30 mins to an hour a day. It's not much, but it helps.

I just try to go back to bed if possible, answer messages, or listen to music until it's time to get up.

I have this App that gives yo the options to put relaxing sounds or music. If I wake up early I just turn on music or put some birds chip chip in the woods and try to sleep again.

Not to get too off-topic but I highly recommend the Pony Town Soundtrack by Wandering Artist. I've listened to this for literal years and it helps me go back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. You can buy these on Bandcamp to not waste internets and take it with ya wherever you go

Back to sleep, every time. No exceptions.

[Dreambiscuit 9,575]

I turn off the alarm and go back to sleep for two more hours.

The extra hour is out of spite.

I always get up before my alarm, even if I sleep late. I try to go back to sleep, but it’s hard. Sometimes I just listen to some music and I’ll drift off if I’m lucky.
