Cat vomiting somewhere in the room.
I drink a decent amount of water before bed. It’s hard to oversleep when you have to piss
Panic.
Panic that I’ve overslept; that I’ll be late and this will be the first and last straw; that I’ve lost my job; lost my house; that I’ve relegated my family to an existence at the fringes of society subsisting on canned beans, dandelions, and wild greens; that losing every shred of self-respect and all prospects of any improvement in my life.
Yep, panic is a pretty solid motivator.
My elderly pug getting up with a frantic look on his face that means we have under a minute to get him outside. Aging is not easy in a dog.
Looked after a friend’s cat one time and was woken by it licking my eyelids. Very effective but not recommended.
You’re not going to like this, but keeping a consistent and healthy sleep schedule is highly effective. Going to bed at the same time, getting up at the same time, and getting a consistent 8 hours at minimum is key.
Gotta take a shit. Works 10 times out of 10.
Alarm.
Cat.
Reaching the end of the working day in my dreams.
😟
Good poo
My cats. They want things and as soon as they know I am awake they will come get me up. Unlike an alarm clock they have zero snooze.
