  2. I am in! The snooze button is my worst enemy and a sign I am getting lazier by the day. Today is a good day to begin the journey of stopping it.

    Day1: woke up 10 minutes before the alarm, closed it, but stupidly went back to sleep for 1 hr extra, does this count as snooze?

  4. Yeah I would because if you set an alarm at a specific time to get up, you have to get up. You woke up at the time for a reason yeah?

    did not hit snooze
     
  7. Getting up, springing out of bed I mean, and immediately going to the shower or sink and washing yourself with cold water for 5-10 MIN helps. After that it is much easier, basically makes you accustomed to less things. One morning I woke up and there was no hot water, I was running late and I couldn't wait for it. I realised the hot water is something I do not need, and it is so simple! .. A light bulb lit up and I just realised, I do not "need" much.
    Reduces your "ego" aswell, y'know, the "poor-poor me" voice in everyone's head, basically telling yourself to not be a b**** every morning! Also no phones in bed after waking up, this eliminated that habit.

    Day 4: didn't snooze

    I agree. This 'challenge' isn't only about not snoozing, it's mainly about optimizing the sleep pattern so you get the best quality of sleep and will wake up fresh without the need to snooze.

    This can entail making some sacrifices or adjustments in your lifestyle, like cutting back/quitting alcohol or, like you said, closing all the screens a few hours before going to bed.

    If you have trouble falling asleep you can try eating pistachio nuts before going to bed, they contain a high amount of melatonin.

    Day 5: didn't snooze

    This is fine. Let's say for the sake of this thread, snoozing is closing your alarm and then going back to sleep, i.e. inciting a new sleep cycle.

    In my eyes it is OK to (although not optimal):

    - wake up before your alarm and then going back to sleep. Sometimes I don't know if it's 5 am or maybe a few minutes before my alarm but I usually give myself the benefit of the doubt. However, sometimes I feel already awake (read: rhythm is adapting) and I feel that the ringing of my alarm is nearby so then I don't bother falling back asleep.
    - go back to bed to rest/contemplate a bit without falling asleep

    I also don't see a problem with the situation you described where you wake up after a certain time after your initial alarm went off but when it's the first time you wake up (so you didn't intentionally snooze).

    The bottom line is to try to only wake up once a day.
