What is your personal method for waking up early?

When my dog wants his morning walkies, he wakes me up with his cold, wet dog-nose. Just randomly jabs it under the covers without any regard of where it might end up.

Mine too, then actually tries to get under the covers if I ignore him
The best way for you to wake up, and to wake up everyone in the house is to fall asleep just as you turn on the DVD. So the introductory music starts at 120 decibels. Now that is the best form of personal alarm, the start of an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

This kinda why I dont like having animals live inside the house haha. Although my horse used to yell loud enough for me to hear if I left that too late too.

Definitely wouldn't have a horse in the house, but my dog is kinda cute and old and I'd feel mean making him stay outside in the winter. But a horse would be a much better alarm clock, especially if it tried to get under the covers with you 🙂
 
Clock watching til it's time to get up. I naturally wake up way before I need to

You are awesome! I thought those bunnies are your only pets! Are you planning to adopt a baby lion recently?😛

I used to have escaping goats too :(
I detest getting up early if it's for any reason that includes leaving the house. If you're up that early it's usually a chore, like work. I used to have to get up at 5.30am for work, and the only way I could get myself out of bed, was to literally jump out of it as soon as the alarm went off. There is no other possible way I could have done it. 😛 Either jump out, jumping star style, or be hours late for work. The only two outcomes lol.

Jumping out of tree tops into rivers is something you could both do, at 5:30 am?
An alarm works fine for me. Getting up really isn't an issue. As for actually waking up? Well I can be tired and half awake all day until I have something interesting to do.
 
Set the alarm clock to the latest possible time and get up when it starts.
If you're lucky you manage to wake up before the alarm and gets a natural wake up which is the best. If not you have at least got as much sleep as possible.

Don't understand the idea behind snoozing myself.
Why wake up earlier than necessary? I prefer more sleep instead.

My method for waking up early? Responsibility.
First, I had horses.
Then, I had lectures.
After that, work.
Then children.
Now I have work, children, a horse and probably studies again pretty soon.

What I need are methods for getting a lie-in.
 
Yeah my personal method is waking up to Winter shouting the alphabet over the monitor. I usually give it til the third time round hearing "zee!" before I get up.

Teach her how to speak French, it works a treat.. .. .. as long as you don't understand French.
I have a strange body clock. Once the sun is up, I'm awake and usually can't get to sleep again. Summer is the worse. Quite normal for me to be awake between 5:30-6:30am.
In saying that, I got very drunk a few weekends ago and came home at 2am. Even when I'm drunk I'll still normally get up or be awake by at least 7am. I ended up sleeping until 11:30am. My mum honestly wondered if I had died haha.
 
I woke up one time to find my dog on my bed standing over me with his face an inch from mine.

As a child I used to fall out of bed without waking up. I'd go to sleep in the bed and wake up the next day on the floor.

I've only fallen out of once as an adult. I had to sleep in a bed that was narrower and shorter than I was used to (we were at my mum's friend's house). I woke up, literally just blinked, then went crashing to the floor. I was fine up until that point, it was the blinking that did it. 😛

In general I find I need daylight in order to wake up properly. Winter is the worst, I'm like a zombie in the hour between waking up and going to work. I've slept through the alarm before, either that or I automatically turned it off without realising.
