The 7 Phases Of Trying To Wake Up Early

We all have been there before. Trying to wake up early and then realizing that we have just wasted the morning doing nothing.

Waking up in the morning isn't everyone's favorite time of the day but it is something we have to do every day. Here are the 7 phases of getting out of bed:

1. The pre-planning

This takes before you even got to bed. Here is when you decide that you will wake up early the next morning because you want your day to be more productive. You start by setting your alarm sometime before your regular hours, and just to be sure you also activate the snooze button.

2. First Alarm

No matter what, your bed will always feel more comfortable when you are supposed to wake up. When the first alarm starts ringing, you immediately start convincing yourself of that five more minutes is just that, and that you will still have time left to do everything else.

3. The twilight zone

This starts happening when you just keep pressuring the snooze button. Even though you can hear your alarm calling you, you are unable to wake up, because you feel so tired. During this time, you are consciously using the snooze button, but you are not keeping track of how long you have been using it. You feel like you are prepared to wake up, but you just can’t bring yourself to do it.


4. The wake-up call

This is when you have enough and can no longer procrastinate, you have to wake up! Then you look at your phone and realize that it's super late. You suddenly open your eyes to their full potential and feel a rush of energy going through your body.

5. I don't have time for that

You have little to no time to get ready for the morning. You basically jump to your clothes, while brushing your teeth, and putting on your shoes. Suddenly, you go from being a procrastinator to a master in multitasking. But again, you don’t have time for everything and must sacrifice things like breakfast, looking at your phone or listening to music before leaving home.

6. Where is it?

There is always that one thing that decides to get lost the morning that you are late. You start throwing things to the floor and quickly going to the places that it could be. After looking for the second time, you realize that it was in some obvious place the first time, but you couldn’t see it because something was on top of it.

7. I'm ready

You have already completed a fast-passed morning routine, and you start grabbing the things that you will need for the day. Once you have collected a few things you decide that whatever you didn’t remember most be unimportant and you can survive without it.

8. Now, I'm ready

Once you have left your home and are headed for your final destination, you realize that you have indeed forgotten about something important. You start running back to your place, in order to make up for the time that you are losing, and once you get there you grab the item and start running all the way until you have reached your destination.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
