I should have known better
RobbieOC:
Except that I have the real sun, just right outside my window... I don't get it.
negative creep:
Real sun? Fuck that noise! This is 1984!
Jimmy the Squid:
Well the window in my room faces west so I wouldn't see the sunrise. It also faces another building that is close enough as to completely block any sunlight from reaching my room. As such I can fall asleep at 10pm and wake up the next day at 1pm and have no clue how it happened.
BrittanyMarie:
Mine does face east but still don't see the sun until at least 11. I just sleep through it, anyway. The stereo/deck I have for my iPod gradually wakes me up though when I set it so that my iPod is the alarm. It's actually kind of unnerving when you wake up to Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed, more so than just now when I woke up to a panic attack.

Sunlight is how the body naturally decides when it's time to be awake. Aside from it feeding the body, it's also a lot more gradual. The way the sun rises, the room slowly gets lighter and lighter and the body slowly adjusts to the idea of being awake.
They actually sell alarm clocks that will start out very low and gradually get louder as time goes on so as to lull you out of sleep more naturally. I believe there's a jhocking model available.

my personal favorite alarm clock is the one that my roommate hits snooze every ten minutes for two hours each morning before actually getting out of bed.
i want her to die every morning.
