For those of us who are groggy in the AM due to meds and find waking up super difficult

I found this app called My Math Alarm. But I’m sure there are similar ones out there. And it’s the only thing that usually gets my bum out of bed in the AM.

What is it? It’s an app that makes you solve some math problems (I have mine set to 6). The alarm won’t shut off until you solve all of the problems.

(Although there is a do not disturb my spouse button that shuts the alarm off for maybe 8 seconds, but the alarm comes back until you’ve solved all problems).

You can set it to: easy, medium or hard math problems.

It’s free too!

I did that for a while. I used an app that lets you make the math hard enough for you that you actually have to wake up a bit to solve it. Otherwise I look at it with one glance, solve it and go back to sleep. I forgot which app it was though.

Im sorry, but thats hilarious :joy: its no different than my teen years when my Mum put the puppy on the bed so it licked my face like mad - essentially harassing me out of bed with annoyance.

I am one of those folks. I wake up dazzled, drowsy and stiff jointed. I literally have to force myself up, I pray, then I stick the kettle on and prepare breakfast for the house. I have no choice. I have to annoy myself out of bed :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I don’t wake up groggy.

I wake up full of appetite for coffee and cigs
