Why can't I be as tired when I go to sleep as when I wake up due to my alarm clock?

The solution to not being tired when your alarm clock goes off is to wake up before it :)

I try it every night but damn, my alarm clock is fast.
But I heard that taking longer as man is sometimes a good thing :p

I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate that. When I was in the military, I always woke up to my alarm clock (usually around 0400). Now, being a civilian/veteran, I wake up LONG before my alarm even goes off (most of the time around 0830) since I've gotten so used to waking up before.....well, the rest of the world lol

4 AM. Otherwise known as "Crawl-Home-Drunk O'Clock."

"And we start sharp at 4."
"4!? O'Clock!?"
"No, O'Duck."

Alarm clock? What a concept. I worked in the plat/lens shop on a carrier for a bit. The cat track was 24 inches above my head. Every morning they dry fired it to test it. I knew rather sadly that my sleep was over. It sounds like a bus driving at 150 knots with no muffler through your rack.
It was 0500...

I just had drink with whiskey, cherry vodka and coke. And that's all I wanted to say.

>_>

Fireball Whisky with Apple Juice will re-renovate memory flavours..

Bottled Coca-Cola is the absolute best.

Edit: Correction - The ones in the glass bottles that is!

I hear you :), in fact anythin original is always the best, i can't think of any of my old favourites that were better when they "improved" (code for cut production costs) the product. Just the other day my youngest son came round with some sweets i used to enjoy as a kid:
Blackjacks ( liquorice chews)
Fruit Salads (fruit chews)
Refreshers (Kind of banana tasting chews with sherbert in the middle)
Space ships (sugar paper discs filled with sherbert)

I can honestly say that although they resembled the things i remember they didn't taste a patch on the originals! :(
