I typically wake up before the alarm

Anywhere from 15 min to 2.5 hours after the alarm easily. The people ITT who wake up at the same time every day without an alarm y'all are crazy, if I didn't have the alarm I'd never wake up on time, and whenever I'm off work for a week or when I had holidays off school as a kid my sleep schedule would just drift by 2-3 hours forward every day.

If I was between rem cycles then immediately. If it caught me mid cycles im going to struggle to get up for about 30 minutes.

10 years ago, I'd snooze until the last moment and then rush to get ready on time. No idea why; just couldn't force myself out of bed.

Today (including, literally, this morning) I'm awake at least 15-30 minutes before my alarm goes off. Wake up ritual is basically:

• Pee
• Put coffee on
• Let dogs outside
• Have coffee on the patio while the dogs do their business and play
• Answer any texts/messages that came in after I went to bed
• Check the news and weather
• If time allows, read a chapter of whatever book I'm on
• Start getting ready for work

I think the change was realizing those extra 20-30 minutes of sleep (if I could even get back to sleep at all) weren't going to make me any more awake when I do have to get up. Then it was just a matter of figuring out how to use that time effectively.

Estimate based on right now: 30 min.

If I’m being responsible instead of doom-scrolling: 20 min tops.

I have two alarms. The first one is sort of a soft-wake up. Sometimes I'll wake then and fuss around on my phone for a while, sometimes I'll just shut it off and go back to sleep, but either way I can't ignore it or it will start reading news headlines.

Second alarm is a half hour later, that one means it's time to wake up, and I have 15 minutes to get out of bed if I want to keep my routine on pace, or I need to immediately get in the shower if I didn't shower the night before.

I technically also then have a third alarm that assumes I'm dressed and had breakfast and everything, and that just means it's time to pack my shit and get out the door. It mostly just keeps me from stressing about watching the clock.

In keeping with my routine I pretty much always arrive to work in a five minute window, and most of that variation is just how much time I spent petting the cat before I finally went out the door.

I am half awake at least 15 minutes before my alarm. As soon as I hear the first 3 notes I sit straight in bed and get up.

I hate being like this.

I’m quitting drinking (heavily, for many many years) so some days I’ve been laying there awake for hours, and some days I JUST FELL BACK ASLEEP GODDAMMIT so maybe ten minutes. Occasionally I slept the whole ass night so I’m laying there for a half hour or more.

Depends on how sleep deprived I am. It was about 30 min today.

Why is the sleep so much heavier the first ten minutes after hitting snooze? It it some kind of “sleep recovery” hormone??

I'm usually already awake by the time my alarm goes off. It's just a fallback. I start every day the same. I open the window, put seeds out for the pigeons, pet my cat who usually wakes up with me, drink coffee while watching the pigeons together with my cat, then I get back into bed and scroll Lemmy until it's actually time to get ready. Sometimes past the time to get ready so from time to time I run late despite already being up for several hours.

depends, is it my first alarm or the 30th alarm?

I’ve spent a couple years now working on being consistent with bedtimes and paying attention to how long I sleep on vacation, so I tend to wake up naturally. It is helped by having my blinds automated to open at the same time so sun shines in too.

If it’s a day I’ve had a drink the night before, it extends my time in bed, maybe 10-30 min, and more if it’s more than a few drinks.

53 minutes, at time of writing.

30 seconds? However long it takes to regain some level of consciousness again. I don't see the point of staying in bed when you have to get up anyway. I also probably was already awake.

No rituals or anything. Just get up and get going. I never ever use my phone in bed for example.

If I'm doing well half an hour, if I'm doing crappy (typical) an hour. If I'm doing exceptionally poorly, like an hour and half

But I'm not currently working and have a sleep disorder that makes things funky. I need to get better about it though

I usually wake up multiple times before my alarm goes off, so usually I call it at an hour before and just turn off my alarm, then stay in bed for about an hour until my alarm would have gone off, sometimes 30 minutes past that, then I finally get up.

I have my snooze set for 5 minutes.

I usually hit it 5-6 times before actually getting up. So, from the first alarm I'm usually still in bed for about half an hour.

I am not a morning person.

I have the alarm set to allow up to three five minutes snooze and I vary between 5 - 15 minutes depending on how well I slept.

Once I'm up I start breakfast and coffee and dragging the kiddo out of her bed.

2-5 minutes. I also typically wake up before my alarm, in which case I'll stay in bed until 2-5 minutes after my alarm would have gone off.

I check the first 20 or so posts on Lemmy's /all.

Not sure what this means. I make coffee and get dressed and stuff, but I don't really consider any of that a "ritual".

Let what continue?

The bedroom alarm? Immediately. It's very loud and I refuse to disturb sibling sleep for that long.

My phone alarm? Whine and roll around while muting it because it's next to me then get up in a few minutes.

45 minutes. I remember a Japanese study from years ago concluded, that 45 minutes was the optimal amount of time needed to waken
