Someone asked me this today and it made me think, why DO I get up in the morning?

 

 

 

I told him that I just do it to live, but really, I wake up to talk to my caring friends, loving family, and even the wacky posts here in OT.

 

 

 

What about you?

Well, if I'm at a party until 5-6, I don't sleep at all and go straight to work.

 

But if there is no party, I go to bed around 3-5, go to work at 6.

 

 

 

Really, I just need the money. I work 14-18 hours a day since I don't sleep much. And thats fine with me. So what motivates me to get up in the morning really, is nothing. I just do it. It's not as if I'm striving to live, because that wouldn't be true. I don't have a true reason to do anything, I just do it.

Well, if I'm at a party until 5-6, I don't sleep at all and go straight to work.

Right. You sleep 2-3 hours a night. That's realistic.

 

 

 

What wakes me up in the morning? Either my girlfriend going to attend class or my radio alarm if I've put in a good CD that doesn't make me fall asleep again.

My alarm clock :wall:

My friends, and my boyfriend are the reasons I wake up in the morning.

:-k So my dad doesn't kill me because I'm wasting my day away (As he says, even though I go and play Rs all day, so sleepign actually keeps me away. Parents, Pfffft)

Sunlight shines in my face.

I work 14-18 hours a day

 

dude truckies dont work that long, that is so unrealistic its not funny

 

what wakes me up? well sometimes my mum banging on the door, or the fact that i wake up at 7 30 every morning anyway

At the moment I don't have school or any other commitments, so I usually roll out of bed by 2pm, or whenever my dad kicks me out :-w

Cause I can't sleep 24/7. :-$

I don't enjoy sleeping in past 10:30 as feel like I'm wasting my life. But I don't think thats really what this thread is about. Is it more along the lines of 'what do you live your life for' or 'what makes you carry on living'? If thats the question then my answer would be - I live for beautiful things. If it is a crimson sunset or an inspiring picture or a beautiful girl. I also live for moments when I feel adrenalised, moments when I am happy and moments when I am sad. So i guess that I live to experience emotions, both good and bad.

 

 

 

Edit - If this thread is more literal than I thought then it would have to be my mother who gets me up. She comes in and asks me "What day is it" , "What are you going to do today" and "Explain the offside rule to me again". If you've never been asked these questions at 6:00AM you don't know how hard they are. At 6:45 I have an Alarm clock going off and I snooze it till 7:00. Then I am up.

First of all, the alarmclock wakes me up -- and I have to get out of bed to turn it off. What keeps me up, however, is all the obligations I have in the waking world, like, atm, exams and so on.

O:)

Usually my Mum or Dad screaming at me because im gunna be late for college :P

ignoring the fact that school ended yesterday [6/15/06], usually i just wake up because i dont want to be late and be sent to saturday school. also, so i can take a shower to wash the unwashed chlorine out of my hair, and if i don't, it really hurts and i reek of chlorine. i usually press snooze though, because i always look at the clock and say "ah well i still have plenty of time," until my dad comes in and tells me to go. by then i usually dont have time to take a shower.

the stinkin birds...they arent that bad but when they tweet at 6 in the mornin...argh ive actually memorized some of the tunes that certain birds play outside and i know when that call usually comes

When Hard Rock Hallelujah is your alarm tone on the other side of the room, believe me, you get up.

Yea I have that to, when my alarm rings I want to put it off, because of the noises :)

 

 

 

I know people who set their mobiles, so it will ring in the moring. That way they have to stand up to stop the noise :)

Today it was a math test.

 

And I'm awake for two hours now and still haven't touched my book to study...

 

Right now I'm telling myself I'll study soon after lunch. :^o

if i sleep too long i get a bad headache. so i always get 7-8:30 hours after i go to bed.

If I have to go to work/school...the most irritating alarm I can find on my phone. Obligation? I guess that's what you'd call it... I need school and work so I can have a happy life.

 

 

 

If I'm sleeping in...restlessness combined with the Price is Right. :P I don't want to stay in bed...and I really want to watch the Price is Right. :P

Sunlight... for some reason I can only sleep when it's dark... Otherwise I wouldn't get up till noon...

I don't know.

I don't know.

 

 

 

Why do you wake up then?

Yeah -- my alarmclock is sort of annoying. What's worst, though, is when I'm already awake when it goes off: I really can't stand that sound. It's not just "beep beep beep"... it's more "sound of speakers turning on AAAAAHHH! AAAAAAAHHHH!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!" -- it is perhaps the most annoying sound i know. It's OK when I'm actually asleep, though; in those cases, I'm not awake enough to care what it sounds like.
