The famous "5 more minutes"... they're a lie. In 5 minutes I'm already asleep enough that the next time the alarm goes off, "5 more minutes"... and over, and over. 15 more minutes, 30 more minutes, also don't give enough extra sleep to wake up on my own.

After years of experimenting, a fail-proof strategy has been setting 3 alarms:

  1. 6:00 - switch lights on
  2. 6:02 - sit up
  3. 6:03 - stand up

No 5 minutes, no going back to sleep.

I just put my phone across the room. Alarm goes off and I have to get up to turn it off.

Though now I have a habit of pressing snooze once and diving back into bed.

But as a result I only ever press snooze once, because forcing me to get up to snooze it kinda turned the one 10 min snooze into a quick power nap, so I get up the second time and I'm always instantly wide awake.
