At the beginning of this semester, I had trouble waking up for my 8:30 A.M. class and I was sleeping through my phone alarms. I kept telling myself I would stop sleeping through my alarms, either by turning up the volume of the alarm, changing the sound, or trying to go to sleep sooner. I realized that I was failing in waking up simply because it was too easy to snooze my alarm. so I turned off the snooze ability for all my alarms, forcing me to wake up and actually turn off the alarm.
I learned that I was not sleeping not because I was sleep deprived or a heavy sleeper, but because I was making it too easy on myself to go back to sleep.
I think failure is a good thing in that it forces you to think. In this situation, my ideas or possible solutions were not creative enough in helping me fix my problem, so I had to really sit down and think about the process of me waking up every morning and what contributes to that process. Once I analyzed the problem as a whole, it was easier for me to clearly identify the central issue in why I was not waking up easily.

Hey Joaquin, that is a great tip I will apply because I sometimes sleep over my alarms as well. I think is great you found a solution to your problem and you really got to know where the problem was coming from. Another great solution will be to put your phone far from you so you would actually have to wake up to turn it off
