What's wrong with D&D?

What's unfortunate is this can change. Some people start out this way and then start sleeping through their alarm clocks. Maybe they're becoming losers or maybe they don't have anything to wake up for.

I'm a heavy sleeper, I can sleep through construction work or sitting upright in the back of a vehicle. My brother is a light sleeper. When we shared a room, my loud snoring would keep him up. He'd get so mad that he would come over and punch me in the stomach. I'd wake up not breathing. I got used to it and could sleep through a punch to the stomach.

So I've always had trouble waking up to my alarm. Not having a job that I have to get up for isn't helping either.

I definitely have a problem with this. I think the best solution I've come up with is really thinking hard about how important it is to wake up at a given time while I'm trying to go to sleep. If that makes me have troubles going to sleep, I'll try to think how important it is that I go to sleep so I can get up at the right time. If I'm still having troubles going to sleep, I'll consider a sleeping aid as long as I have at least 7 hours to sleep (any less and the aid may prevent me waking up on time). If I have less than 7 hours, then I probably won't get much sleep.

I've slept through having a glass of water poured on my face. And a vacuum cleaner running right next to me. I even slept through a scroll saw cutting wood right next to me. If you want to know why a scroll saw was cutting wood in my living room, or why I was sleeping in there, well... it's because that was where dad set up the scroll saw, and where I fell asleep.

I probably do, and I think it's related to stress.

I've always been hard to wake up when I was tired, but it used to be if I got seven or eight hours I wouldn't be very hard to wake up at all. In the last eight or nine months I've noticed that I've become harder and harder to wake up, even when I'm getting up to go do something that I want to do. I've also noticed an increase in stress over that time period.

Ambient light has never effected my ability to sleep. At worst, I'll throw my arm over my eyes to block it out. But I usually don't care if it's light or dark.

My wife beats me on the head with a baseball bat and I still don't wake up. Woe is me. I went to the WebMD doctor and it said I suffer from first class loseritis.

Girls don't like losers. I guess I should just give up.*

_{* normally I wouldn't just give up, but since I'm a loser, I'm incapable of trying to better myself.}

Better yet, get yourself a kid or two, they're much better at it than wives.

Set the Sound Grenade app on the iPhone (or some similar high-frequency sound generator) to get you up at the right time.
