Forget the Olympic athletes

I scored a new personal best this morning – nine hittings of the snooze button on the alarm.

Nine!

How does one do that?

And each snooze lasts for those strange nine-minute intervals, so I was 81 minutes late getting up.

I didn’t even want to look at the clock when I got out of the shower as I figured it would be approaching lunch time by then.

I really wish I were a better morning person. Those folks who can hop right out of bed and start bustling around and whistling cheerfully and just bursting to face the day amaze me. They annoy the hell out of me, but they amaze me.

I'm one of the people who gets right up, but I always try to be quiet to be kind to my lazy friends. But maybe your sleeping habits are bad? If you can get more sleep you can usually get up easier.

My husband bounces right out of bed in the morning. I'm such a night owl, so I can't stand it. It was awful when we first started dating, and he would get up at 6am. Even after a night of being out and not getting home until 3am, he'll still get up at 8 while I sleep until noon. I don't understand how he does it.

lol its so funny hearing of couples who have totally opposite sleeping habits. My fiance is an early up guy and I am most def. not. Not a hipster - do you get p.o'd at your hubby or vice vera or does it work smoothly?

I get really p.o'd at him when I have to get up early. Not BECAUSE I have to get up early, but because he's so damn giggly about watching me get ready with an evil look on my face. It was an interesting turn of events when we each got new jobs. Then I had to get up at 5 or 6 am (HORRORS!) and he got to sleep until 8 or 9. He looooooooves rubbing that one in. I've been at my current job for over a year now, and I still have to take a sleeping pill in order to get to bed by 10 pm.

I get back at him for being so chipper by keeping him up late when he has to get up early. Mwah-hah-ha.

lmao ok I might start whistling now when he passes peacefully out at 10 pm and I can't get a wink of sleep from his snoring when I finally go to bed.

Ugh, snoring is the worst. My ex-boyfriend snored so loudly that I would end up on the couch, at the opposite end of the house, with two doors closed between us. And he would still keep me awake. Add that to the fact that he was just a jerk and you can tell we were doomed. He was also an early riser.

I have literally came close to killing an ex boyfriend for snoring. He would claim he never did, because of course they don't hear it, but I wanted to put a pillow over his face a few times but was afraid it would kill him - which I secretly wanted to do when he was snoring away at 4 a.m. some nights!
