Second Year Exams: I Must Get Up
Second year exams (for me) started today, so there’s a good excuse to not post for a couple of weeks. Maybe once these exams are finished I can start writing some proper content again rather than falling into the trap of “so I read this book…”
I like this blog/resource for self improvement a lot, and would like to share this article about getting up when your alarm goes off. This morning, I slept through two alarms at ten-minute intervals, including one of which being on “snooze” mode so it would’ve gone off about three times before I got out of bed. It’s no big deal (I don’t think - you may disagree), but what struck me was that I had been coherent enough to walk across the room and reset my phone alarm, then use the snooze function on my clock three times, and yet I didn’t remember any of it 20 minutes later. Steve Pavlina describes a similar situation, and suggests methods for conditioning oneself to be able to wake when the alarm goes off. I think it’s worth looking into.
