Do you ever wake up earlier so you can go back to bed?

After noticing that the brief period of sleep after you hit that snooze button is so much more satisfying than the actual hours you get, I tried setting my first alarm clock to wake me up about 30 minutes earlier than usual. After the first alarm clock rings, I wake up - only to go right back to sleep until my second alarm clock gives me the actual wake-up call.

I don't know if it's a mental thing, but for some reason, I feel incredibly rejuvenated every time I do this - almost like I decided to sleep in that day instead of getting up.

So does anyone else do this?

I can't do this cause if I go back to sleep, I'll be more in a coma than usual. It takes alot to keep me awake, especially if I know I have to go to work.

yes,one of the best little joys of life :)

I used to wake up during school and see my brother still getting to sleep in and wanted nothing more to go back to bed.

Then I always try it and can never do it.

yeah im kinda like you too

when the alarm rings i pres the snoze button an teh next minutes leading up to the 2nd alarm are good sleeping times.

No, because when I wake up I'm up, so I don't want to get less sleep.

Can't say I do

Not on purpose but i have woken up, took a shower and went back to bed many times. But i do like waking up many times in the morning and falling back asleep. Me sleep like lots.

I guess the Sleep button does make up for it as i press it about 3-5 times in the morning.

I do the same thing. I have my first alarm to go off at 11 am, get up out of bed (I purposely have my alarm clock on the other side of the room so I'm forced to get up), and then I immediately go back to sleep until 12

Once I'm up, I find it very hard to go back to bed.Bourbons3

I, too, have to say this. I find it very hard to go back to sleep once I'm up--unless I'm really tired. But at those moments, I am not allowed to go back to sleep.

I used to do that...but didn't exactly work. Instead I have 5 alarms that go off at the same time placed around my room so I actually have to get up to shut them off...I wouldn't wake up otherwise =Psoulwithin465

I do the same thing :lol:

I even started putting one inside the light fixture in my room so i would have to reach up and unscrew the lid to turn it off. Sad thing is I still have a bad habit of turning them all off and going right back to sleep.

this is actually exactly what i do. i even get up about 30 min. early too. its awsome. you dont notice those 30 min if its consecutive with the rest of your sleep. but when you set it aside for going back to sleep, its like a little treat.

Yes I did it today.

i agree, there's nothing better than being completely exhausted and laying back in bed.

R= yes

I used to do this when i studied.

Now... no... i just sleep and wake up at any time... 1am, 5am, 12m, 5pm, 11pm... it doesnt matter, its all the same XD

If I wake up and go back to sleep I feel like I haven't slept all night.

My roommate sets his alarm to go off for every 15 minutes for an hour before waking up. I do not understand this...why not just wake up an hour later? The "sleep" he is getting isn't real sleep anyway.

I love waking up an hour early and then going back to sleep knowing that I have time.

Yeah I do that. I set my ipod to go off 1 hour before getting ready for school.

It is so great, because it just feels good waking up and going right back to sleep.

I'll tell you whats strange, Ive done this EXACT thing for the past 3 years!! You arent spying on me from across the border are you?? :o

Not only do I feel more like getting up at that point but also like I got 6 times the amount of sleep in those short 10 mins.

It's 10:30 here, I have to be at work at 7 (witha 20 min comute).

I gurantee I'll wake up at three, am, and start worrying about it. Then I'll watch the clock until about 5am, fall into a deep sleep, have some jacked up dreams, get up at 5:45 to take a shower, and still be on the road by 6:40.

It Doesn't make the day any more pleasant. But I've been doing it for a while.

I need to get my clock right.

i let my alarm ring 4 times in the morning so i can just relax between the rings. it does feel good. i also love when i wake up in the middle of the night, like around 3 am, and knowing that i still have hours of sleep left.

Yep that's good wake up tactic. Try to push over a little more and do 1 hour before you actually have to be awaken, its great to see you have 1 full hour of sleep ahead of you instead of 30 mins
