People who don't hit snooze in the morning, what is your secret?

I wake up and get out of bed.

I set the alarm late enough that I need to leave or I'll be late for work. Also, go to sleep earlier if you can't get up on time.

My cat. Won’t stop meowing until I give her breakfast

But also I love waking up early because I feel like I can have some me-time (besides the cat), so that’s what I look forward to instead of thinking of the whole day. I GET to hang out with myself

My smartphone sleeps in a different room than I do, we're not THAT close. So I need to physically move to another room to stop the alarm in the morning.

I just lay there half awake staring at the wall while the alarm sounds.

Wake up. Don't feed the bad habit.

I put my phone on the other side of the room so I have no choice but to get up and shut off the alarm. Then by the time I get over there I realize how much I've got to pee, so I do. Then after I pee the shower is right next to me so I might add we'll get in and wake up for the day. I basically make it so it's more convenient to just get up than to go back to bed.

Instead of snoozing, you could just sleep longer. Once I realised that, I changed habit.

I just SNEEZE (house dust mite allergy sufferer).

The anxiety of being late gets me up.

I don’t have an alarm anymore, thanks to the pandemic and home office. What a game changed. If I do have to set one up for important events, my smart alarm from my watch wakes me up in light sleep phase. Even with a noisy phone watch, my body does not feel like getting asleep again. I suppose, if you fall right back asleep, you did not sleep enough. Try to go to bed earlier and if you wake up a lot at night, try to identify why? Is your blood sugar falling too much, are there noises, are you stressed during the day? A good night sleep should be uninterrupted, consistent regarding the going to bed time, and should make you feel refreshed in the morning.

I have good sleep hygiene and lights turn on when it’s time to get up, so I’m already lucid when the alarm goes off.

If you are repeatedly hitting snooze and still can get get everything done in good time, your alarm is set too early. Set it later. Also, good sleep hygiene. I am 100% a night person and messing up my schedule is super easy, but I just get out of bed when the alarm goes off. Having that be the same time every day (along with bedtime) is hugely helpful. If you get in the habit of hitting snooze, it's just that: a habit; break it.

I have ~10 alarms all scheduled to go off every few minutes until my frustration overpowers my will to sleep as I would otherwise dismiss the alarm rather than snoozing it and wake up unemployment.

I sleep badly and am usually awake already.

I don't actually use a traditional alarm much anymore, only for the rare "special occasion". My secret: Smart lights. They dim on very gradually in the morning, so the light wakes me up. The other half of the equation is that they also gradually dim off in the evening, and that does an amazing job of getting me to bed at a reasonable hour without feeling forced.

My alarm sound is two people in the physical act of love.

I've never found 8 minutes more very enticing. More stressful than it is recuperating. Might as well just get up if I set my alarm for a reason.
