i used to always change my alarm tone on my phone from one song to the other.. but then i figured out that it doesn't work. it doesn't make me wake up cause i always put the songs that i like, even if it's not a song that i like.. i still don't wake up anyways.
and then one day, it just came to my mind that i should set my alarm tone as my usual phone's ringtone.. that way, i would think someone is calling me and i would actually wake up to pick it up. it's pretty much deceiving myself in a way.. but it has worked for me, so far.
do you have any tips and tricks for waking up in the morning?
ps. i'm really liking my new/current layout at the moment. simple and neat, just the way i like it. i worked so hard on this one.. and by the time i finished it, my eyes felt like they were about to fall off or something. i might stick with it for a while. what do you think of it..?

I like to use retarded songs like Who Let the Dogs Out! The woofing really wakes me up. :) However my brain seems to get numbed to the waking quality of songs after using them as alarm tones for a while...so the best I can do is keep a playlist of metal songs!
I am loving the layout!! I just recently changed mine as well! LOL we kinda have the same taste!
I would do that (set it to my ringtone) but my boyfriend really does call me early every morning to wake me up, so eventually I probably wouldn't care if it was him or my alarm and blow it off!
I usually set two alarms with different sounds, so that if I turn one off and fall back to sleep I still have another to come.
I love it!!! I just re-did mine as well we have a similar taste!
Cute layout!
I set my radio as an alarm 10 minutes to half an hour before I actually have to get up, and then I have a second alarm on my phone which is the most annoying sound ever, that goes off when I need to get up. Works fine for me! That way I can wake up slowly :)
Haha I was just thinking about this...
I put a soothing and pretty song to wake me up so I wouldn't be a grouch in the morning, and I was pretty sure it WOULDN'T wake me up because it would just soothe me back asleep...but it didn't. So I just use that.

I like the new layout :)
I need someone to wake me up because most of the time I don't listen the alarm or I fall asleep again xD
Love!

I'm loving your layout! I like the simplicity of it.
And I pretty much stick with the same ringtone for an alarm as well. I just have to make sure it's loud or I will sleep through it much too easily.
I really like this layout! :)
I usually have to get up at 5.45 for work, and when my alarm rings, I immediately start reading news and e-mail on my phone. Even though I can hardly open my eyes and the screen is so bright, interesting e-mails and news keep me from falling back to sleep. So far it works great!
I always set me alarm but I never wake up until Mum comes in and wakes me up by poking me.
I have yet to find a method that will make me wake up.
I like the layout!
And the ringtone idea is pretty good, I'd never think of that! But I think I would get annoyed after a while and squirm every time my phone rings for real.
i like the layout but i find the pale text hard to read against the white...sorry!

I know that feeling of working on HTML for so long that my eyes want to fall out but I also know that feeling of satisfaction and it is good :)
Waking up in the morning, there is an app on my iPhone that starts soft and gets louder gradually and then also vibrates after ringing for 30 seconds so all of that combined wakes me up pretty easily.
Clever idea for waking up! I hardly get calls that early so I think it wouldn't end up working for me. Some people put alarm clocks far from the bed so they have to get up to turn it off - that could work.
i really like this new layout :)
haha what a GOOD trick.
for one yr i just set the alarm really far away from me so i would have to get up and walk to turn it off.. however this 'trick' only worked for 1 yr... after that yr, i would just climb back into bed :(
Haha, I know what you mean!
Your layout is pretty clear and refreshing (it's been very warm last days...)!
have a nice day!
I love your new layout!! I wish I could customize my blog in html.. but it's sooo hard! And takes too much time :(
Phone alarms are not very effective for me. I tend to just sleep thru them. Or sometimes I just ignore them. LOL.
Oh I don't know. I pick the noisiest and still, it doesn't help. I don't like getting late (but I always do). It's not polite with or without a person waiting for you.
I like your layout too! Simple as you say. It's like carefully cut pictures pasted on paper.
I like the new layout:) My tip for actually waking up and getting out of bed is putting my alarm just far enough away so that I have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. Works everytime!
i like the layout. do you write all of your own, or do you tweak an existing one?
i think the phone ringing works. or even an extremely loud annoying one.
thats quite a good idea actually. personally i dont have an alarm. loud noises first thing make me jump out of my skin. i normally wake up naturally (i like lie ins :D) or to my mum yelling at me. ;D
