I hate the sound of my alarm....I literally cringe when I hear it....I have issues with waking up

Anyone got any good tips for helping to get yourself out of bed in the morning other than: "grow a pair" or "go to bed earlier"

Ipod

Then set the alarm as a song that gets you up and crankin

Putting your alarm across the room works for a lot of people. I had a roommate that had a hard time getting up, he was the heaviest sleeper on the planet. We used to put his alarm clock across the room from him and also set up the coffee maker to turn on without any water in it, on a timer. If he didn't go down stairs to turn it off the house would have burnt down. Seemed to work and we are all still alive.

I am the same way. I gotta get lucky to wake up on time a lot of mornings. I am currently waiting for a package in the mail with a Screaming Meanie alarm (seriously, the ONLY thing that I get up to EVERY time).

I pretty much have my clock set at my desk, which requires me to get up. Clock has 2 alarms, each set at 30 minutes apart and 1 minute sooner than my phone alarms. My phone has 3 alarms. So, my clock is at 6:59, phone is at 7, clock again at 7:29, phone at 7:30, and then my last phone alarm is at 7:30. My phone is by my bed, but it requires a LOOONG stretch for me to reach it, which is good for getting awake.

Again, heavy sleeper. Recently, I've slept straight through all my alarms. Hence, getting the Screaming Meanie and setting it at 120 decibels.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
