^ Oh how I wish I could sleep until I wake up naturally…or I wish I could wake up early without any help.

My internal clock. It just knows. During the work week, I set my alarm (beeps, no buzzer) but I rarely hear it because most of the time, I wake up at least 2 minutes prior to it sounding. On my days off, I wake up at the same time, but happily drift back off to sleep. ahdn_george_05

I wake up very gradually, in layers, so… which wake up do you mean? I often set Pink Floyd alarms though. ahdn_george_06

As stated before I have a little TARDIS alarm clock that does the signature TARDIS noise as its alarm.

I don’t use alarms unless I am trying to do schoolwork but I’m So Tired I can’t stay awake. In that case I go to sleep, but set an alarm for a couple hours later so I could wake back up and finish it. The alarm sounds I mostly use are The Star Spangled Banner or All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey or Waka Waka by Shakira.

You’ve got a TARDIS alarm clock?! That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard of!!!ahdn_george_08

My alarm clock is just a boring mobile phone ringing sound but, to be honest, it’s better that way. Because I’ve tried using songs before and after two days I always hated them as they reminded me of early mornings. And I don’t want to hate my favourite songs.

Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita. - Stephen T. Erlewine on Sgt Pepper's

I love it, it’s probably the best thing I’ve ever bought myself.

I get really weird looks though if anyone comes into my bedroom as there’s just a little police telephone box on my dresser, I’ve become an expert at hiding it (of course TARDISes should blend into their background anyways but the chameleon circuit is banjaxed in mine 😛 ).

 

And as a gift @Martha you too, could own a TARDIS alarm clock. You can also get a Dalek one but waking up to “EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE” every morning wouldn’t be that pleasant. 

Also, it’s Matt Smith’s TARDIS, I’d prefer Eccleston’s/Tennant’s but what can you do!

How often do you log onto the BB per day? Do you check it almost as soon as you wake up?

 

I check it pretty much every time I log onto my computer, as I always have a tab open with it. (And that’s not counting my phone…) I do check it 5 minutes after waking up too… (I’m not addicted, I swear!!)

I usually look twice a day. Once around lunchtime and once before I go to bed.

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

It depends. On some days I check about twenty times or so because I have a quick look everytime I get out my phone or log into the computer. On other days, especially when it’s a stressful day, I don’t check at all. Most of the times, it’s in the evening and in the morning, before I go to school and sometimes also in the afternoon.

I don’t log on every time I look, though, I’m far too lazy to type in my password every time I have a quick look.ahdn_paul_01

On weekdays, I usually pop in and out a few times between 3pm (when school ends) to about 12:30am (around the time I go to bed). I like to think I am on for most of the day on Saturday and Sunday.

I don’t log in every day – only when I have time to. There have been times when I’ve skipped weeks. I do enjoy logging on in the morning while I’m enjoying a nice cup of coffee before getting ready for work.

I never come on with my phone, so really just when I’m home. I only check it right when I wake up if my computer is nearby and charged. I think I mostly come on at night.

I love my little old alarm clock.  FM music is what wakes me up in the morning.  I set it a couple of minutes before the hour to hear a song before the News.
