Any reprogramming requires flipping out a Bluetooth smartphone. It hasn't a snooze function and turning it off is next to impossible if it's inside a cloth bracelet. Update: I have a Fitbit Flex thingy that can be set to vibrate on your wrist at a set time.

This has the advantage that the function can be restored afterwards. a coin) that can be glued over it to prevent it from being activated. If it is a touch button or the button is flush and waterproof, you can find some rigid, flat object (e.g. I'd recommend several very small applications leaving time for the glue to cure, to prevent Superglue from leaking into the clock's innards. A judicious application of Superglue will prevent the snooze button from ever working again. On most alarms, there is a dedicated button with a snooze function. On some high-end alarms (and several smartphone apps) this is possible. Is there any good way to get rid of this habit?ĭisable the snooze function. You might decide that it's easier to get into the shower than back to bed as the shower is so close and hot water would be so nice right now. If you shower in the morning, put the alarm clock in your bathroom.Put the key somewhere else like another room. Put the alarm clock in the box and lock it shut, adding a clasp and padlock if the box doesn't have a lock. Build / buy a small box with plenty of holes to let out the noise.This option will cost you money but it will also ensure there's a delay between the alarm going off and you being able to hit snooze. There are alarm clocks that require you shoot a target, find a tiny drone it just fired, or find the entire clock which has rolled off somewhere. Buy a new alarm clock with an annoyance feature built in.This is simple but may not be effective enough for you. There are a lot of ways to do that, one of which has already been suggested. The goal here is to make yourself wake up before you can turn off the alarm. It then may help to better wake up in the morning but it is at the cost of losing all our evenings (which was the main reason it did not work out for me). This can not be done with one or two tries but it needs several days if not weeks. Of course, if we are lucky, we can try to slowly re-adjust our sleep/wake cycle by getting to bed earlier. This alone will help you a lot to actually get up, and not to go back to bed again. You will then know that you will oversleep if you turn it off. You know you will be late if you had pressed on snooze only once.ĭo not use an alarm with a snooze button. Set the alarm to the latest possible time when you really really need to get up to just about make it to get to work in time. This can be achieved with two easy hacks: What worked for me is to introduce an urgent need to get up right now, not a minute or two later. Being sleepy is extremely counter-productive here. You need to pull yourself together to get up. So you might also realize that there is not yet an absolute need to get up immediately but you can post-pone this to some minutes later without much of a risk. Obviously you do wake up and you are already in such a good shape that you manage to hit the snooze button (and not the finally-off button). Practicing/conditioning by repeating the go to bed and stand up on alarm-algorithm ( Blog post from comments) Setup a situation where I urgently need to stand up and stay awake. A lot of them will help different types of people. Thanks for the many good answers for now. I write this because someone voted to close the question because it's off-topic (reason: it's a brain hack question). May it be some physical hack (like using puzzle alarms or placing the clock unreachable from bed) or a mental/non-physical one(setting up an urgent ToDo right after the alarm goes). Just to clarify: I'm looking for any method. Is there a good way to get rid of this habit? This also doesn't change when I permanently sleep from 11 pm to 7 am. If I set my clock to 7 am after 8 hours of sleep it's much harder than 11 am after 8 hours of sleep. The sleeping duration also doesn't matter a lot. I don't like to get up early in the morning, but I have to. The problem isn't that big when I get up at around noon. I tried to simply not use it, but it failed and I fell asleep and slept too long. I just can't resist using it, but I'd rather like to get up on the first alarm or at least after the first snooze. This costs me 10-40 minutes every morning. Every morning when my alarm clock wakes me up, I need very badly to use the snooze function which turns off the alarm for some minutes and starts it again.
