To be traumatised by my alarm clock

[Magicpaintbrush]

Inside bed: warm and cosy. Outside bed: cold and dark. Alarm clock goes off - noooooo! Worst sound in the universe. Surely it must still be the middle of the night???? Drag self to bathroom, start brushing teeth, realise after a minute I am standing there brushing with eyes shut. Haul self into shower. Haul self out of shower - freezing!!! Warm bathroom suddenly feels like Antarctic.

Still pitch black outside the window.

Want desperately to go back to bed.

Traumatised.

I recommend a lumi. It makes getting up a lot easier.

A Lumie definitely makes winter mornings more manageable.

We've moved continent. Shipped my trusty uni alarm clock over. Plugged in, and set for 6 am.
It goes off the next morning, and I can't believe it's morning. I check another clock (not sure why), and its 4.30 the clock obviously can't cope with the electricity here, tho it is apparently the same voltage as UK. Not be impressed!!!

Hope it wasn't that early for you, and you've woken up now. I'm off for lunch

I've got a Phillips equivalent to the lumi and can strongly recommend it. I usually wake to light gradually coming on, but if I don't I'm then wakened by the sound of birdsong. So much more civilised.

A lumi ... might be a good Christmas pressie request, thanks for the idea :-)

Love my lumie.
