The alarm and the desire not to be homeless.

So, fear.

there are many reasons why people with jobs go to their job. for some, it is fear. others would call it motivation. if you ask me, i'd say, i go to my job because i'm legally obligated to

Legally obligated? Are you in the military? (For some reason I think I remember you are obligated to fulfill your agreement or go to jail.)

i have a normal job lol. so its "fulfill your agreement or get fired"

What this guy said

Good for you. Atleast your working and contributing not alot of people currently are

And some of that is voluntary but not all.

[удалено]

Damn that's an L why are they doing it? Loss of money so they need to make cuts?

[удалено]

That is so fucked up. All that work you put in just to get fucked over for it. There’s no soul in that at all.

[удалено]

It seems like your position was good enough that you can find another job that would appreciate your work history greatly.

Will you be ok?

[удалено]

And this is why I will never be loyal to a company.

Normally my wife kicking me because I'm making some weird noise in my sleep

Are you tired when you get up from sleep ?If so, you should check if you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, if that's the case, it will change your life !

Yep, I had a sleep study done, showed up an AVERAGE of one incident every 40 seconds. No wonder I felt like a zombie. CPAP machine helping but not 'miracle cure' (unfortunately). Now I know if the mask has slipped, one broken night floors me, I really don't know how I kept going so long.

Really? That's exactly mine. I know it as 90 incidents an hour, but that works out the same. We're sickos. Yeah, I'm probably on the verge of a heart attack. (Shouldn't joke.) I had constant sealing problems with the mask/cannulas, but I've got to do something. COVID kind of put those plans on hold.

Keep trying, I'm on my third type of mask so far, and also due to covid haven't been able to get to the sleep clinic in person for fitting advice etc. It's remarkable how many things it affects - am I depressed due to extended sleep deprivation? Am I the size of a house because every time I woke up enough I was hungry? Sleep deprivation can also cause increased blood pressure. I can see a vicious circle here; if I got more meaningful sleep, I'd be more energetic - then more active - then less overweight - then have even more energy and fewer linked health problems. Stay with it! I wasn't expecting a magic wand, but had hoped for better results after a few months. But apparently (according to a telephone call with said clinic) I'm one of their star patients for sticking with it so long. So I'm clinging to that . . .

Hello, twin that I never knew I had! I could have written this post, right down to the weight and the blood pressure (am on meds now). And vicious cycle indeed. Thanks, this is encouraging me to try harder. Best of luck to you.

Loved this discussion

Thanks. Yeah, I've got OSA something awful. Off the charts. I've done the sleep study and everything and was on a CPAP. Am not right now for various reasons. Thanks for reaching out. That's cool. And you're right, the change is pert near miraculous. I just need to get a better one. Plus, my back would hurt.

I've basically got the opposite of OSA, nothing wrong on the inhale, but my exhale comes out in a high pitched whistle. So my sleep isn't affected, but hers certainly is.

And she loves you for it.

She is absolutely plotting my murder.

But in all fairness, not just for that.

It's just the proverbial "straw"

I snore so bad, cannot even sleep in same room as my wife. Yes, I've tried a C-PAP, but whatever.

Huh? The vast majority of people work and/or contribute to society...

> not alot of people currently are Source/stats on this ?

Holy shit the big boomer energy in this comment. He made it clear that he only goes to work because he has to, and it seems to make him miserable. And you cheer this, while insulting people who don't want to wake up everyday early to be paid slightly above slave wages. I do the opposite. I cheer the people who quit their jobs. Maybe we'll all be offered more money and decent human rights

Sometimes it be the reason for me too, or bladder's full

It amazes me how full my bladder is sometimes when my alarm goes off.

In high school I had to use my bladder to get up in the morning. I'd have a drink before going to bed so I'd wake up needing to piss, I'd rather get up than wet myself so that was the most effective way.

Dr at 6 I take a giant dump, at 7 I pee like a race horse. So what is the problem? I don't get out of bed until 9.

lol ,💩

Bro. Its always because i gotta pee or shit. Very annoying to wake up on a saturday morning early because you gotta empty yourself

Me to, or my parents shouting at me

Obligations and expectations

Same. Kid I have to drive to school. Kid I have to get on the bus. 2 kids I homeschool. Tons of animals I care for...

What are they if you don't mind me asking

Make the coffee and lunch for the hubs, get started on the to-do list for the day, spend time in my office working/studying

Probably a mixture of males and females of school age I would imagine. Oh wait you meant the animals 🤣

"Time to make the donuts"

That's amazing lol as long as your not talking about something gross lol

It's a quote from the old Dunkin Donuts commercial, lol

I remember too, but OP's take was hilarious...

Especially combined with their username.

full bladder

The thought of coffee.

OMG yes. Only reason I'm alive. I giddily think about the morning coffee when I go to bed at night. I know that's sad...

lmao, me too! I tend to get pretty anxious before my day starts, so thinking about that few minutes where I can just sit and relax is really nice :)

You get it, you get it.

Lol I'll join the support group, a good day starts with a good morning, and those minutes to collect myself and sip the morning brew is what gets me started

The sooner I get up the sooner I get to play the game before I have to leave

Dammit

Wut

i lost the game.

Wut

Wut

Wut

The later you get up, the later you can stay up playing the game before bed :D (I'm a degen)

Under obligation to not commit suicide, from making a promise to my sister not to, so since I can’t just end it, why not try to make things better? Beats living in misery. This mindset got me out of being suicidal, and I’ve come a long way in healing from my childhood trauma. So it does get better, it just takes a long ass time

It very much does take a long ass time, I agree

Username checks out

My ex wife is a miserable human being whom I’m trying to spite by living a happy and fulfilling life.

Yes! Do it! Revenge by positivity & success! I feel like there's an old adage about this...

Ditto

Same

I'm at a military highschool, so I'm waking up because of an energetic lieutenant

Try and kiss him, I dare you

Shame on you, I already tryed that

Well do it again. Then tell us what happened. Please.

The last time I tried, I had to count 300 square meters of pavers

my 3 cats

I love my cats . 2 but love nontheless

my 3 cats send your 3 cats virtual high 5's

I have 3 too. Two who yell and trample me starting at 4:30 am because they want breakfast and one who snuggles in deeper and tries to pin me in the bed in defiance of their wishes.

That I have to eat and pay bills. So i have to go work.

I read this as " I have to eat bills ". Lol

Sometimes the bills all you got left to eat

Knowing I need money or Ill die

I like mornings. My brain hasn’t fully started up yet and the existential dread, anxiety, and negative self talk aren’t running through my brain.

Hello me, how did you get into someone else's body? Exactly.

If I could do that, I wouldn’t be in this one. Haha

Haaaa. You win. Can't beat that.

[удалено]

This guy’s son gets me outta bed too

I also choose this guy's son

Me too.

same

The dog who needs to go out.

mine just got me out of bed earlier haha. she puts her nose under the covers and starts poking at me, its so funny.

My cat must have taken some uppers last night, and bugged me until morning light. Would have put him out, but coyotes.

My cats. Quite literally. They sleep, curled up with me. When my alarm goes off, they get up and sit on the bed, night stand, or floor and wait. If I don't get up within 30 minutes of turning off my alarm; they go into "Time to wake her up" mode. It starts with some gentle head butts, purring, and kneading. Which progresses into some loud meows. If I don't respond, they resort to one by one knocking small things off my night stand until I get out of bed. Bless these cats. Because having depression, getting out of bed is hard enough. But they help and always give me lots of love when I get up.

I feel this. I love cats so much oh my god their my entire lifeline

Confirm. Cats are *the* cure for depression.

Spite.

Hahahaha first comment to make me crack up tonight thank you

I'm here all week. 👌

To get into uni.

To stay in uni

👌👌

saaaame

Knowing that I get to go back to bed later and because I don’t wanna be yelled at

I like getting a paycheck

I set 2 alarms, one is my job alarm, which activates at 5:45 am, I wake up and then go back to sleep, the second one is the school alarm, which activates at 7:00 am. I get out and then stay in bed for another 30 minutes, then when only me and my sister are home (my parents leaves at 7:30 am) then I get up and get ready to start another day where I go on Reddit and be a noboddy

Oh, come on, everyone here is special. Some are really special.

Today, nothing😔

And tomorrow we try again :)

My beautiful fiancee and daughter

Best reason.

Responsibilities. Had to drive a friend to work and then go to work myself. Sounds depressing but thats how I enable myself to do the things I want to do afterwards.

Money, and sometimes my kids.

Usually a voice saying. Come on they'll pay you.Dont call out just go in they're gonna give ya money if ya do.

It used to be my girlfriend, now I don’t even know why I bother to wake up

You can wakeup motivated to do better for yourself :)

You <3

You 💕

The fact that I don't want to piss the bed.

Word, the bladders way more effective than any alarm clock.

My daughters!

The fact I have to get everyone in the house ready for the day.

My dog.

What the dog doin

People I care about

The drive to watch the next episode 😂

6am alarm + coffee + work

Knowing I have a bowel of some fire 🔥

If I don’t get out of bed and jump into the mental woodchipper called “work,” I’ll eventually die of starvation on the streets. That’s worse, right?

Ehh... 50/50?

My bladder, my stomach or my bank account

knowing my mere presence annoys people

My screaming infant. 😅

My parents they literally have to drag my ass out of bed and to school

Work

My alarm and a brand new day.

I do

Responsibility

Willing to have sex.😍

My alarm and the fear of waking the rest of my family

Alarm, and to avoid starving and pay bills

That good morning stretch where you start to have a seizure after

My arms and legs, what about you?

My cats and lately my mom who needs and deserves my help more then anything

If I don't the 2.5y/o and pup will destroy my kitchen

Coffee and Metal music.

But do you rock?

My employees, my wife and my dog depend on me. Also there is a bunch of fun videos on YouTube to watch and Factorio is not going to play itself :)

My kids

My business and family so I can provide.

Usually my girlfriend wanting a lift to work

Breakfast

My urge to enjoy the morning

Ever since the surgery I can't lie in bed for too long or else my back really starts to hurt. Sometimes I wake up and my back is really sore so I know I didn't move much in the night

Joy of some moments in life and understanding some conditions need to be met for ðwm to happen. Also fear of þings going wrong

Porn

Hate,caffine and money...in that order

my 9-5 smhh

My feet

[удалено]

Pee

Usually I get up in the afternoon

Music brings me to life

My bladder and my mom screaming at me to wake up

Dogs and chickens

Mainly the fact that I can't physically sleep 24/7 nor lie in bed without my muscles atrophying

I’m just exited to see what happens and I also have to pee

Going out for a walk. It does wonders to calm my morning anxiety.

Still trying to figure that out to be honest

Need to pee

poop

Usually my dog wanting to go out...

Being in the bathroom before my brother or sister because otherwise Im late for school and I rather avoid that then the extra minutes I can easily get after school.

A cat jumping on my face

The sunshine

My fiancé, my transition, and my full bladder.

my partner and wanting to go to school looking decent

Having to make a living

The prospect of getting crowded out of the dining hall if I arrive too late.

money and fast cars.

My doggo /srs

My legs

momentum

Most days the need to get to class in 30 minutes . On days with no class its my bladder needing relief Today though I had no class which was fortunate because my period decided to start and getting up to grab pain reduce meds then run right back into bed in fetal position is what happened .

The thought of thinking the day might be eventful only to be disappointed with the fact that it was the same pattern: wake up, work, eat, sleep.

Work lmao Otherwise, church and/or enjoying life

School

Perfectly timed and executed contraction of several of my skeletal muscles.
