Q: Lately I have struggled to get out of bed despite waking up a decent time to go to my lab (I'm a grad student), the end result being I fall asleep again and end up going in about 1–1.5 hours later than I really want to. How do I make myself actually get up when I wake up?

 

提问：我最近需要拼死准点起床然后赶去我的实验室（我是个研究生），但是结果往往是我在起床后又会倒头睡下去，当我再次醒来时已经超过原定时间一到一个半小时了。我要怎么做才能在我起床时彻底清醒？

 

I sometimes use Sleep If U Can (Alarm) app on my android phone.

 

While setting the alarm, it asks you to choose how to turn it off. There is a option which says to turn off by using an image. While setting , you can set an image as the off key.

 

Now when the alarm rings, it forces you to capture a similar image and turns off only if it is similar to the pre-set image.

 

I have set my turn off image as the toilet basin, so when I have to turn off the alarm , I have to search for my slippers,walk to toilet and click the image of the basin. since, I live in a hostel¹ having shared toilets, I have to leave my room to go to toilet and take the image. This is annoying but wakes me up.

 

I use Alarm Clock Plus★on my Android. I have to solve a maths problem in order to snooze or dismiss the alarm. Right now it is at medium difficulty, involving arithmetic between three two digit² numbers.

 

Once I set it to hard level. There were three three digit numbers having addition and subtraction³ between them. Had to literally⁴ rub my eyes and really concentrate to try and figure it out. You just can't sleep back after that.

 

Flying Alarm

 

This digital alarm clock launches a rotor into the air that flies around the room as the alarm sounds, hovering⁵ up to 9' in the air, and will not cease ringing until the rotor is returned to the alarm clock base, compelling even the most stubborn sleepers⁶ to get out of bed on time.

 

WE GOT CATS! Which is the working person's version of kids. The little buggers. I'm up at 6:30 now, every day. No alarm. So worth it.
