to think its rude to set your alarms if your not going to get up?

[AlwaysLurking38]

Every single day ( apart from weekends ) someone I live with sets their alarms at 7:00am and they go off constantly till 7:45am till they get up!!! Why do it? If your not getting up till 7:45, fair enough set them at 7:30 l. But 45 minutes of alarms constantly going off?

It makes me so so angry. I think its incredibly rude and selfish!!! Why do it?

Rude gits!

My DH does this - it goes off and wakes me up at 6 - he switches it off and immediately starts snoring again while I lie awake. He says it's so he feels like he's getting an extra hour's sleep. Then he gets up at 7, goes in the shower and never switches it off so just as I am drifting off the snooze goes. Aargh! Don't get me started on him using my iPod, changing my extra small earbuds for his large ones that won't fit in my ears and leaving the iPod with just enough charge to listen to half a tune. I love him to death but could string him up for some of his selfish habits!

Blimey, my DP does this. Drives me bonkers! Especially when up and down all night breastfeeding while he snores his head off or puts a pillow over his ears. Gosh, now I'm feeling cross just thinking about it.

YANBU

My DH does this. His alarm goes off at 5am, he finally gets out of bed at 540am - I'm off on maternity leave so all my sleep counts. Drives me nuts.

Yes there's only me in the room, although dd1 can hear it in the next room and whinges at me having "alarms going off for hours in the middle of the night" even though I've explained multiple times that they do not go off in the middle of the night and if she hears them she should get up and start getting ready for school instead of getting up and reading a book

Dd2 is like me, even though she is in the same room as dd1 she doesn't hear the alarms. Just like me she struggles with getting to sleep, but once she is asleep it takes the noise equivalent of WW3 breaking out on her pillow to wake her.

When we go on holiday and have an early flight I stay awake all night, it's the only way to be sure that we won't sleep through the alarms and miss the flight. I seem to cope better with no sleep at all than not enough sleep.

The puzzle alarm makes me want to cry but it's the only one that I can't turn off in my sleep. I've "woken up" a few times to realise that I'm in the middle of struggling to get the case of my phone in order to remove the battery. The things my unconscious brain is capable of in order to protect my sleep astounds me, if only my conscious brain worked the same, I'd be ruler of the world by now

If I meet someone they're going to have to cope with my alarms, sleep in separate rooms or take responsibility for waking me because I can't not have several alarms and the first eleventy million don't have any effect on me

DH does this, drove me nuts until I bought him one of these pretending not to realise it had an amazing silent alarm clock feature

ha ha! I'm like this!
I cannot get up when the alarm first goes off. I need time to wake up and drag myself out of bed. I need multiple alarms to get me up.
Fortunately DH is similar, though he is better at getting up than I am.

Dh used to do this, until one morning I jumped out of bed and threw his phone out of the window.

He doesn't do it any more

if DH dares to hit the snooze button he gets firmly and physically kicked out of bed when it goes off the second time (assuming I hadn't already forcefully ejected him from the bed when I heard the first...) I am not a morning person!

DH sometimes wakes up before his alarm and wanders off to the bathroom without turning it off. Which means that, even if I don't need to wake at that time, I have to find his alarm and turn it off. And it's a very LOUD alarm. I swear next time I'm going to thrown it at him when he deigns to reappear.

DS is worse. He used to work shifts as a result of which he would sometimes come back at around 3 a.m. and set his alarm for around 1or 2pm for the next shift. Only for some reason it seems to be on a 12 hour cycle which meant that if he didn't remember to switch it off it goes off at 1 or 2 a.m. I used to leave notes full of bloodcurdling threats of what would happen if he didn't sort it out, but they never worked. Thank goodness he's left that job.

DH is out of work atm but sets his alarm for 9am. I thought this was a good idea to get into routine etc but I've been off ill this week and found he just switches it off and goes back to bed -till midday!!

Why have the alarm set at all?
