I typically wake up before the alarm

I am half awake at least 15 minutes before my alarm. As soon as I hear the first 3 notes I sit straight in bed and get up.

I hate being like this.

I have two alarms. The first one is sort of a soft-wake up. Sometimes I'll wake then and fuss around on my phone for a while, sometimes I'll just shut it off and go back to sleep, but either way I can't ignore it or it will start reading news headlines.

Second alarm is a half hour later, that one means it's time to wake up, and I have 15 minutes to get out of bed if I want to keep my routine on pace, or I need to immediately get in the shower if I didn't shower the night before.

I technically also then have a third alarm that assumes I'm dressed and had breakfast and everything, and that just means it's time to pack my shit and get out the door. It mostly just keeps me from stressing about watching the clock.

In keeping with my routine I pretty much always arrive to work in a five minute window, and most of that variation is just how much time I spent petting the cat before I finally went out the door.

Estimate based on right now: 30 min.

If I’m being responsible instead of doom-scrolling: 20 min tops.

53 minutes, at time of writing.

If I was between rem cycles then immediately. If it caught me mid cycles im going to struggle to get up for about 30 minutes.

I'm usually already awake by the time my alarm goes off. It's just a fallback. I start every day the same. I open the window, put seeds out for the pigeons, pet my cat who usually wakes up with me, drink coffee while watching the pigeons together with my cat, then I get back into bed and scroll Lemmy until it's actually time to get ready. Sometimes past the time to get ready so from time to time I run late despite already being up for several hours.

Depends on how sleep deprived I am. It was about 30 min today.

I get out of bed right away. I’ve placed my alarm clock at the other side of the room and I sleep in an elevated bed, so once I’ve turned off the alarm, I can’t just trivially climb back into my bed, even when I haven’t slept enough.

(I use a Lexon Flip Mini and I’m satisfied with both the noise it makes and the way it works. There’s no way I would trust my phone with that task. I set phone alarms for many other things, that said.)

After I’m up, I immediately go to the bathroom and go through a whole routine (centered on showering), which I trained myself to always do in the same order so I wouldn’t have to think about it. After that, I dress in the clothes I’d laid out the evening before, I go back into my room (which contains both my bed and a tiny kitchen), eat, and put food and water/tea for the day into my bag.

On my days off, if I’m not feeling too tired and discouraged, I go for a run just after turning off my alarm and go through the bathroom routine just after coming back.

Like many people in the comments, I typically wake up just before the alarm — unless I haven’t slept enough for a few days, which used to be a rare occurence but happens way too often nowadays.

The bedroom alarm? Immediately. It's very loud and I refuse to disturb sibling sleep for that long.

My phone alarm? Whine and roll around while muting it because it's next to me then get up in a few minutes.

Sometimes around 10-20 minutes. Usually checking the time (both phones and watch), followed trying to find my water bottle (which I bring when I sleep on my bed). Around 2-3 minutes

I’m quitting drinking (heavily, for many many years) so some days I’ve been laying there awake for hours, and some days I JUST FELL BACK ASLEEP GODDAMMIT so maybe ten minutes. Occasionally I slept the whole ass night so I’m laying there for a half hour or more.

I usually wake up multiple times before my alarm goes off, so usually I call it at an hour before and just turn off my alarm, then stay in bed for about an hour until my alarm would have gone off, sometimes 30 minutes past that, then I finally get up.

Why is the sleep so much heavier the first ten minutes after hitting snooze? It it some kind of “sleep recovery” hormone??

I have my snooze set for 5 minutes.

I usually hit it 5-6 times before actually getting up. So, from the first alarm I'm usually still in bed for about half an hour.

I am not a morning person.

If I'm doing well half an hour, if I'm doing crappy (typical) an hour. If I'm doing exceptionally poorly, like an hour and half

But I'm not currently working and have a sleep disorder that makes things funky. I need to get better about it though

30 seconds? However long it takes to regain some level of consciousness again. I don't see the point of staying in bed when you have to get up anyway. I also probably was already awake.

No rituals or anything. Just get up and get going. I never ever use my phone in bed for example.

I’ve spent a couple years now working on being consistent with bedtimes and paying attention to how long I sleep on vacation, so I tend to wake up naturally. It is helped by having my blinds automated to open at the same time so sun shines in too.

If it’s a day I’ve had a drink the night before, it extends my time in bed, maybe 10-30 min, and more if it’s more than a few drinks.

45 minutes. I remember a Japanese study from years ago concluded, that 45 minutes was the optimal amount of time needed to waken

I usually wake up before the alarm. If I don't, I get up immediately, I don't like staying in the bed.

Alarm? You all use alarms?

The whole day

2-5 minutes. I also typically wake up before my alarm, in which case I'll stay in bed until 2-5 minutes after my alarm would have gone off.

I check the first 20 or so posts on Lemmy's /all.

Not sure what this means. I make coffee and get dressed and stuff, but I don't really consider any of that a "ritual".

Let what continue?

I have the alarm set to allow up to three five minutes snooze and I vary between 5 - 15 minutes depending on how well I slept.

Once I'm up I start breakfast and coffee and dragging the kiddo out of her bed.

For the last few years I have started to set the alarm to go off at T minus 2 hrs. I will turn it off immediately.

The first hour is a leisurely waking up, checking news, posting a few things to Lemmy, and - these days - checking in on my Forge of Empires account, but it has been listening to a podcast at times or just reading. I will do all those before getting out of bed, unless I need to pee.

The second hour is then shower, breakfast, and getting dressed and out of the door.

Depends, are we talking about the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th alarm I have set?
