• How do you remember to do that? I don’t even remember to wake up to alarm. Like today. I woke up around 7:30AM instead of 5AM. “Great, my phone probably crashed, and the alarm didn’t ring.” I get up to get my phone, but it’s not there. I start searching for it, it’s in my bed. No missed alarm notifications. I grabbed it, dismissed both alarms, and I don’t even remember doing any of that.

      It’s mostly a personal interest. Sometimes i think i do that because it’s a sign from my brain because my life is too boring otherwise lol.

      I often treat it as people often people treat their journals: its a bit therapeutic because you lay out your thoughts exactly as you remember feeling in the dream.

      But i totally get disoriented mornings too.

      Intention and habit. If you strengthen the intention of waking up before going to sleep, you can wake up and get up better. If it’s a dreadful morning you’d rather sleep through or nothing you want to get up for it’ll be a hindrance.

      If you have a habit of dismissing the alarm and sleeping again, I’d definitely put it not right next to me but a bit away, where I would at least have to stretch or move out of bed. Make it harder to immediately fall back to sleep.

      If you slept two more hours, maybe you needed the sleep though? :)
