How do you respond to your alarm clock in the morning?

My wife actually shouts back at the thing as if it is an annoying person. I though that was interesting so...Just wondering how most guitarists respond the their alarm clocks.

Have you tried a shock collar? ?

Yeah Aubs, you've got your job cut out getting him to adulthood. You should make him where a helmet at all times ?

I put 3 different alarms in different, hard to reach places in my room. One is on top of my bookcase, one on my spare bed, and the last one right next to my head. Then what happens is normally that I sleepwalk around turning them all off. I don't know how I do it, but I swear I never wake up, it's all automatic. Yesterday I woke up 3 hours late for class, and had turned them all off without even knowing it. >☹

I have similar life skills. But I can have entire, coherent conversations with my wife without waking up. I think it comes from being permanently short on sleep. I've always had a talent at sleeping.

I don't so much fall asleep as switch off - one moment awake, the next asleep, and it can happen almost anywhere, in the car, at my desk. My mother always teased me for the time as a kid that I fell asleep while crossing the road - not only that, but that I slept through the articulated lorry's horn that alerted her to the fact.

I get up at about 4.00 every day pretty much and no alarm. Why? Because then there is noone else there. Dont you people need time like that?

Nope, it's all fluff the first while anyway.

That's what 1 in the morning is for.. Being a night owl has its own advantages!

If I set the alarm - which is for 'special occasions' - (work from home) - I do not sleep a wink the night before.

I lay awake waiting for the alarm to go off.

Then when it goes off I whisper a few choice words in its non-existent ear - because I usually almost drop off a half hour before IT goes off.

Then I get up feeling like Frankenstein's monster ...

My dad's cousin reported my grandfather as having fallen fast asleep standing in a corridor during a wedding. My dad nods off and then reacts with absolute surprise when you tell him he's asleep. "No," he says calmly. Now I read a book in bed and it suddenly "drops" in my hands. "Odd," I think. To any observer, I can be seen phasing in and out of consciousness...

Rock 'n roll...
