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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
