My Alarm Clock


SOJA

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Oh I'm sure they'll try I'd just be floored of they find a taker.
    • Just look at OTC. It takes like 30 seconds. Also, ESPN just covered this today. As Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel openly mulls a quarterback change late in Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing season, here's the math on where things stand with Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has $54 million in fully guaranteed compensation in 2026. That breaks down as a $39 million salary and a $15 million option bonus that needs to be exercised between the first and third days of the 2026 league year in March. Additionally, on the third day of the 2026 league year, $3 million of his $31 million 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed. So if he's on Miami's roster as of 4 p.m. ET on March 13, the Dolphins will be on the hook for $57 million guaranteed.   If they were to release him prior to that date, they'd still have to pay him the $54 million in 2026 cash and would absorb $99.2 million in dead salary cap charges. (They could spread that out over two years if they designated him a post-June 1 release, but they'd still take $67.4 million in dead money charges on their 2026 cap and the remaining $31.8 million in 2027.) If they were to find a way to trade Tagovailoa before March 13, the acquiring team would become responsible for the $54 million in 2026 salary and bonuses, and the Dolphins' dead-money charge would drop to $45.2 million. If they traded him after March 13, presumably they'd be on the hook for the $15 million option bonus, while the new team would take the $39 million salary; the Dolphins' dead-money charge would be $60.2 million.   None of this is even close to ideal, obviously, as it would leave Miami in a terrible cap situation and also without a quarterback. The Broncos took $80 million in dead-money charges (spread over two years) when they released Russell Wilson in 2024, and they managed to make the playoffs last season and currently hold the 1-seed in the AFC playoff field for this season. So huge dead-money charges don't necessarily kill a team's chances. But one of the reasons it has worked for Denver is it found a first-round QB in Bo Nix who could play right away.   If the Dolphins bench Tagovailoa this week, it'd be for either Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers, either of whom could theoretically be a 2026 starting option if they show enough in these remaining three weeks. But moving on from Tagovailoa would probably require the Dolphins to be players in that Mac Jones/Kyler Murray/etc. second-chance QB market if they want to compete next year. Not a great spot for whoever their next general manager turns out to be. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47324378/nfl-week-16-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions#trades
