Ramblings Only

Just ramblings, only a vent for emotions, feelings and all the good stuff

 
Baaah!
Wednesday, October 04, 2006
I am not too fond of winters. Its 6:50AM here and it is still dark! This screws up my schedule totally I tell you. In Summers, Sun Guy was the one who me woke up, through the open blinds [I leave it open for the rays of light to sneak in], gave me an indication on time, to get up and do something. He was quite active in the Summer, as was I, as he woke me up promptly at 5AM. But now he is lazy, so I am lazy. I partly blame it on my gym activities. I am so tired in the evening, I sleep like a log.

Morning time is precious time. Apart from using the time to read news, blogs, and sometime write blogs like today, I can get some work done too [if needed], and be ready for the long day ahead.

I need at least an hour before I am fully up to get ready. And the Sun Guy isnt helping much. There is still one whole month for day light saving to begin. Baaaaah! I guess I have to get used waking up when its pitch dark outside, just relying on my alarm.

My alarm is wonderful. It just doesnt give up if I snooze it. I keeps ringing every 5 10 minutes before I wake up in frustration. I have to select the alarms and push atleast 3 buttons to dimiss the alarm. One has to be fully awake to do that. Such determination! I have never seen. But if the cell phone makers or the cell phone software makers can come up with such a brilliant idea, my body also learns to cope up, or adjust to it. My ears simply ignore the ringing, my hand automatically snoozing the alarm for the first few mins. So that's some extra sleep for me.

DH hides my cell phone admist the cushions of the couch on Saturdays, as I have daily alarms for insane hours [for him] like 5AM. While I am immune to the alarm, and selectively hear it when I want to hear it, DH is still getting accustomed and hence wakes up with a start every Saturday.

All said, the bottom line [and the reason for my post] is, how do I get up early, if it is still pitch dark outside. I blame it on the Sun for waking up late nowadays. So I dont have to feel guilty.

    5.00a?? Did you say five am?? OMG! Dear lady, you are a goddess!!

    If I ever start getting up at 5.00a everyday, I think I will die of self pity!

    Prabhu,
    Yeah most times. Its nice to get a head start of the day. And I sleep very early too. :--)
    And you know I wake up pretty late over the weekends, even if we have plans ;--)

    Archana! :--)
    Most of the times I wake up early. And LOL! :--) You know what I think I would die feeling guilty if I woke up past 7 on a weekday. I sleep very early though. I get more things done in the morning than in the night. :--))

    same pinch. i also prefer to wake up early and sleep early. but 5am is too much? i'll start feeling drowsy in the a'noon if i wake up that time. here, the cold is too much so i don't stir till 8. and i don't feel guilty about it. but how do ya adjust with DH who prefers to sleep late? or has he changed now?

    how early are your getting to bed times? on an average, it should be 10pm for me.

    Hey Sparkie,
    Ah nice to know someone who also likes to wake up early :--) I know winters make it so difficult to wake up in the mornings.
    DH still sleeps late and wakes up late, so you know how weekends start :--) with me irritating him in bed until he wakee sup in frustration :--D I sleep between 10:30 and 11. Try to have 6 7 hrs of sleep.

    Dakaltiz,
