I use an alarm clock, but my Father still insists on waking me up a few minutes before it goes off. I end up forgetting it's on so the alarm sounds.
well, this morning, he was out of town, and my alarm didn't go off. of course. |

Ugh, my daughter is only 8 but she is so hard to wake up in the morning! We begin the process at about 5:40, she is usually finally up and dressed by 6:00 so it takes her 20 minutes. She can move like a snail in the morning.
On the bright side she can be encouraged to move faster by doing some "races". She and my husband do a Bed Making Race after breakfast! She really gets into it and she usually wins. They also do Orange Juice Drinking Races. It really helps her to move along faster. If she is ready for school early she can earn a few minutes of computer time on the educational sites. |

Do what my parents did!
especially if you have girls. i was told to set my alarm clock, and if i wasnt up they would wait until 10 minutes before we had to leave and then wake me up and tell me to get in the car. no time for hair, make-up changing outfits, showers! yikes, but i learned my lesson the hard way, and always got up after that! |

Ice and cold water are so messy.. You should just keep a bag of marbles in the freezer. You can't run away from marbles in a bed!

Oh dear, I had a good laugh at this. I was so bad as a teenager getting up, as did my sister (she still does!) but I appreciate that my parents nagged me to get up because they were making sure that we got a proper education.
My ex's Mum still gets him up at the age of 25 going on 26, which I find extremely inapropriate. Especially when I was living with them and she use to barge in at unfortunate moments. :@ But I really do think nagging tennagers helps in the long run. |

Check out this site: http://www.sleepforkids.org/html/sheet.html My kids always needed the high end of the scale, if not a little more. My 8 year old goes to bed at 8:30 and gets up at 8:15 (thank goodness he's a 'late' reader and starts school at 9:00). |
