I like sleeping in but can’t really do it often if there’s not enough time for me. And I prefer being early than being late. I prefer taking my time going to work than rushing.

a2020, it sounds awful! How do you manage to sleep in using the snooze button more than five times every day? If I was you, I would rather sleep more time in the evening :)

Probably I’m one of those people who are just terrible in waking up. I always want to sleep in but I have to wake up early everyday. And this is the worst part: if I want to get up, I have to use a lot of snooze button. For example when I must woke up at 6:30 I’m starting to mental preparing to wake up by using a lot of snooze, usually started by 5:15 am. My boyfriend will probably dump me… or kill me… or both.

Hello friends, have you noticed I wasn’t online yesterday? Well, I tried to sleep in. But I am an early riser like Gary. And I don’t know if it’s good or bad. It’s been a hard day today, so I’m going to bed earlier. If you’ll see me on Ebaby after 10 P.M. please send me away :D


P.S. Using the snooze button is masochism. I used it once (twice… no… three or four times repeatedly maybe and then had to get up and hurry to work)

Well, because I’m a heavy sleeper, I don’t wake up that easily. I prefer keeping in my comfy bed, especially in winter, it becomes very hard to leave a refuge like your bed when it’s cold before the noon :)), Unless you have to do it.


I always set my mobile alarm before I go sleep, but it never woke me up. My family, they keep waking me up every time the alarm rings, and I just get up to hit the snooze and go back sleeping in again.


I hate it, I really hate being this lazy person me, but I feel like my timing is adjusted to 10 AM and ahead. Even when I go sleep early in night, I don’t get up early :(


Gary, I envy you, just keep like that and don’t listen to Jessica :)) I wish I can be an early riser just like you.

I use snooze button many times. I just like returning bed after waking up. It’s just an amazing feeling.


Do you know what the best feeling is? Waking up at night and realizing you have hours to sleep before your alarm clock rings. This is just feeling like in heaven. And the worst feeling is to wake up at night and looking your watch with a hope to return to bed but then realize it’s almost the time to get up… Oh, what a big disappointment.

I wake up early and I early riser, and also usually I light sleeper when I have a day off or if it is a vacation.
But I haven’t had that power to wake up and go to my job if i had workday.

 I’m defenitely an early riser. From 10:30 p.m I feel so groggy that not even two or three cups of coffee can shake my falling asleep off. On the contrary, the coffee at this time is the best sleeping pill for me ( don’t experiment, please :)) And it doesn’t take me long to sit down with a book at this time when I’m drifted away to heaven. But in the morning, my cat beats me in early hours of waking up. At 5:30, my alarm clock behind the door—mew, mew asking for food. So, after he has eaten, he goes jump into my bed, set himself comfortably besides and from alarm clock he turns into a snooze button. He purrs spreading a comfy sleeping energy and you drift away again, for another half hour.

Sleeping is very important and obligatory for everyone! But the limit time of sleeping should be respected because more sleeping can causes some health trouble.
