I could never do multiple alarms I'd go insane. How do you tell which one is which and how much longer you have before getting up. Just get up on the first normal alarm at 4:30 like a normal person or setup a light that gets gradually brighter and is brightest a few minutes before the alarm and you could wake up and turn the alarm off before it goes off feeling better

“Like a normal person” honestly go fuck yourself, it’s not that easy for a lot of people. And a bunch of “normal” people are burnt the hell from their job and aren’t super eager to be exhausted going to a job that pays them functionally less than it did the year before because inflation hits everything but salaries.

I found getting up on the first alarm and moving to the couch to be a good trick for me. It’s forward momentum even if I don’t go from my bed to being fully ready to go to work with my fake smile hiding my exhaustion. And yet people still complain about how I do things in my own fucking home.

Yeah I was being a bit sarcastic I know most people don't like waking up early, fortunately my job doesn't have a set schedule so I like to be in the office around 6 since most people show up between 8-10 which means I get a few good hours of quietness and can poop in peace before the toilets are ruined. Then I get to leave around 2:30 which is usually before the engineers start showing up in our lab with their last minute requests but if I do end up stuck there with them I feel better knowing I'm on overtime pay. Plus the traffic is terrible if I leave after 3pm so I try to get on the road home before then

You try and go up to each alarm and fail until you finally go up you have to hurry out of the house.
