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.

      Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
