6 WAYS TO STOP OVERSLEEPING

Luckily it doesn’t happen all too often, since I’m an early bird. The earlier I get out of my bed (which isn’t always easy), the happier I am. Before I even set foot in the office, I’ve already had a proper breakfast, I’ve worked out and I’ve cleaned out my closet. And that means that as soon as I get home from work, I have all the time in the world to relax.

For the people who occasionally sleep through their alarm (which sounds like the shittiest way to start your day), I’ve got a couple of tips. Use them. Your boss will be happier for it.

• Let’s start this off very simple: crank up that volume. The louder, the less likely you are to sleep through it.
• Opt for the most obnoxious alarm noise. Don’t go for those chirping birds or ocean waves. TATUTATUTATU, that’s what you need. Up up and out of bed you go.
• STOP SNOOZING.
• Drink two glasses of water before you go to bed. That way you’ll wake up with a full bladder and you’ll have to go to the bathroom right away. Staying in bed won’t be an option.
• If you have a serious case of oversleeping and you live alone, arrange a help line. People that will give you wake up calls. But that’s only for the severe cases.
