RISE AND WHINE

Imagine a world where alarms can talk. Wouldn’t it be fun? Hehe. Well, if my alarm could talk, I would imagine it saying “Oh, it is time to ring again I just hope she doesn’t do what she usually does.” and when it rings, maybe I stand up to use the toilet, it would say “Okay, we are making progress. Please don’t come back to the bed to sleep” and well I did exactly that and came back to sleep. My alarm would scream “Oh my gosh, am I so useless?”

Honestly, this was not me but recently I have been feeling really tired as I have been sleeping late. I have always cherished waking up early because it just adds extra time and makes me do my personal things and care beforehand.

Back then, I set my alarm to 5:25 am, although I might snooze maybe one or two times but I always struggle to get up and do what I need to do. I guess my alarm would love me a little bit and probably say “Good girl, now get up, do what you need to do.”

Now, I set my alarm to 5:55 am. These days, my alarm would probably be yelling at me by 2 am, “Go to bed now! Because regardless I will definitely ring by 5:55 am” Funnily, I don't snooze anymore, I just shut it off and sleep back.

If my alarm could talk, It will most definitely yell anytime I raise my hand from sleep to switch it off “Don't you dare to touch me, you this shrew, if you touch me, I swear I'll murder you in your sleep. Don't render me this useless..” I will probably have to shut it off before it continues.

I really want to be able to wake up to the alarm like I always do, sometimes I even wake up a few minutes before the alarm. I am really trying to stop shutting off my alarm because it is starting to become a routine or habit. However, I usually sleep only an extra hour.

Apart from morning alarms, I do set afternoon alarms just to make me time-conscious and nothing more. I set 2:00 pm, 4:00 pm, and 6:00 pm alarms because I am usually carried away with whatever I am doing, so whenever it rings I am always aware of the time.

In the afternoon, my alarm would probably be more friendly with me because I usually regard it, and it will say “It is 2:00 pm or 4:00 pm already, you need to quickly wrap things up.” and maybe just maybe it will whisper to itself, “I love her more in the afternoon”
