Have to get up at 5 AM to get the kids up for school. My daughter is in middle school and they start very early - 6:45 AM. And my son is in Kindergarten and his start time for school is 7:45.

I wake up to music, unless I wake up on my own  before the radio comes on.  Then--coffee.  Gotta have it.

My schedule varies so my wake up time is not the same each day (not healthy i know).

the dog next door sees to it that i dont get to sleep through to my alarm either. Have talked repeatedly to owners and called the police and still a problem. I actually have my house on the market so that I can move, maybe then i will be able to get some sleep.

Wouldn't a set of noise cancelling earphones be cheaper?

LOL, they would, tried that. I cant sleep with them in - they are uncomfortable, when i move they fall off, etc.. I also need to hear some noise to sleep (e.g., my fan).  I can still hear the dog through them, just muffled. I have tried everything. Even replaced windows on my house, which it needed anyway. 

The dog barks nonstop not just at night, so it makes being outside miserable (yard work, patio time, pool time, etc.). There is no fix for bad neighbors  :(

My heart is with you sgluckadoo. Wherever I live I always have neighbors with yappy dogs that bark at everything. It feels as though it is incessant. Don't get me wrong. I love animals, but I don't want to hear them all the time. Quiet is healing.  :thumbsup: Noise damages you.  :bad:

As to the question at hand, I don't have problems waking up. I have an internal alarm. After years of getting up pretty early for kids and for work, I don't even worry about setting an alarm.

Thanks for the kind words. It just amazes me that people can be so inconsiderate. I have a dog and she gets barky every now and then, and when she does I call her inside. I really can't blame the neighbors dog, he is just neglected, but I still feel so much anger on a daily basis because of the situation.

I have an alarm set most days, but ideally it would be on my own....

I use to have a hard time getting up in morning.  But now I can get up and get ready for work with no trouble at all.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I usually wake up around anywhere between 8am to 11am. I'm not much of a morning person, so I have a alarm set for most days.

I don't have any particular way of getting up.  We're retired so I just get up when I'm ready or when my back starts hurting; whichever happens first.  I've started turning my clock face down so I'm not tempted to turn over a bunch of times during the night to check the time and that seems to be helping some with my sleep issues.
