Water Therapy

Filed under: Spam — Pipboy at 9:35 pm on Sunday, November 12, 2006

For those of you who have a hard time getting up from bed (waking up != getting up), let me share a trick I found somewhere (can’t remember, I think it was the Simpsons):

Water. Drink lots of water before you sleep. In this way, you’ll be forced to get up and drag yourself to the comfort room when you wake up.

I heard that Native Americans used to do this before the arrival of the chickens and the alarm clocks.

Try it. It works.

Update:

While waiting for my flight at the Centennial airport, I took 4 trips to the comfort room within a span of 1 hour.

I think this “alarm mechanism” has to be set 8 hours before the time you want to wake up.

ahaha. that is if your bladder is fit enough to hold it up. otherwise, you’d consider your bed your toilet. hahaha.

as for me, i don’t have problems with waking up. coz the soon i realize i’m dreaming, i get out of my bed and work. hahaha.

then again, sometimes what i do is to leave the radio turned on before and during my sleep so that it’d remind me that it’s time to wake up once i hear the radio once again. hahaha. my alarm is “kadyot lang. kadyot lang. kadyot lang.” XD

re: radio

[sarcasm]

i love my neighbors. because of them, i don’t need to turn a radio on in the morning. they are kind, considerate and thoughtful enough to turn on THEIR radio at FULL BLAST for ME at six in the morning.

I have to master the timing of drinking water! I end up waking up in the middle of the night or at three a.m. then I get too tired the next day!!! :p
