Even on my work days, I am evening shift! Thankfully though my kid sleeps till about 7-8, if I had to get up at 5 I would be one cranky mommy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626688 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:43:24 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2626688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: as a back up precaution, but I usually wake up to pee, because I hear the baby in her room, or just because my lovely body wakes me up before 6 am.... My alarm is set for 6:20. I have yet to be woken up by it. I don't need an alarm, but the one time I don't set it is probably when I'll mysteriously sleep in. My husband forgot to set his the other day and I had to wake him up and mine hadn't gone off yet. So I was his alarm clock! I'd love to get up before my kid and get stuff sorted for the day, but I just can't handle getting out of bed before 6 am if I don't have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626675 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:02:05 +0000 youboots 2626675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes when we have something to do before 9 am. Which is usually 2 days a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626673 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:54:36 +0000 gilmoregirl 2626673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the school year I need to be out the door by 6:20 am so yes, definitely. </p> <p>No alarm during the summer and it is glorious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626670 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:43:30 +0000 HLK208 2626670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to leave by 7:45am so we need to be up by 6:30...luckily for me (😉), my kids wake up at 5am so I never set my alarm unless I want to workout before they wakeup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626668 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:42:23 +0000 Corduroy 2626668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We have to be up by 6 to be out the door by 7 but we've only overslept once. I was so excited I didn't care that I was a few minutes late to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626657 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:08:29 +0000 psw27 2626657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually. Between my DH's annoying alarms he snoozes and my LO I know when I need to get up and it's way too darn early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626647 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:54:36 +0000 wrkbrk 2626647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. DS wakes up waaaaaaaaaaay before I would if I had a choice. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626536 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:35:45 +0000 ocean81 2626536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't set an alarm since my daughter was born in March of 2015 :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626535 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:34:15 +0000 Finfan 2626535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have to be at work by 8 am and it's about a 25 minute drive. Often the kids are still asleep when I leave. My DH is a SAHD. I have a very minimal routine so my alarm goes off at 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626393 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:34:16 +0000 anonysquire 2626393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I figure if I sleep in then I needed it. But my kids wake up at 9:30 usually. And I NEVER plan anything for mornings. Or atleast before 10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626368 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:23:12 +0000 MrsBrewer 2626368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep 5:18 everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626363 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:21:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2626363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never have to; DD will never sleep past 7am unless she was sick/had a rough night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626340 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:47:07 +0000 kiddosc 2626340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but end up turning it off before it goes off most days. A is up so many times through the night that I'm almost always in her room at the time it's scheduled to go off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626267 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 07:19:30 +0000 littlebug 2626267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. 5:11am.

Womp wommmmp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2626239 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 06:06:00 +0000 Andrea 2626239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm an early riser and if I don't wake up the kids will wake me up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2625975 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:21:20 +0000 PinkElephant 2625975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. DD1 is our alarm; she's reliably up between 6:30 and 7:15, and that's enough time to get DH off to work and the kids and me out the door on a "regular" day. I've been saying I'd like to start, though, in order to gain back some "me time" before the girls are up. However, I have to walk past their room to go up the stairs, and I'm afraid I'd wake them if I tried to sneak past, resulting in no me time, just more time spent getting grumpy kids to get ready. That's my excuse, anyway :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2625969 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:18:12 +0000 sandy 2625969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the school year I do set an alarm. LO has to be up by 7:00 (we leave no later than 8:00 for school). I set an alarm for 6:20/6:30 so I can get ready and pack her lunch before I have to get her up and ready </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2625955 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:12:07 +0000 Alba4 2625955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. 5:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2625942 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:09:49 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2625942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have to because I SAH and even if we have to be out the door by 815 (about once a week), I can usually do it in an hour if I eat in the car. But this week I've been setting an alarm for 30 minutes before the girls wake up and it's been amazing. I'm never going back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-set-an-alarm-during-the-week#post-2625862 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:15:01 +0000 winniebee 2625862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WFH about 50% of the time, but now that my older is in school every day, we have to be out the door by 8:10, whether I'm working from home or working in my office. My husband leaves by 630 every day so is fairly useless in helping out in the morning. So, I've been setting my alarm for 6:15 every day and getting up before the kids to get myself ready and get breakfast started (and a cup of coffee in my system!). I like having the extra bit of time alone in the morning to get the ball rolling, even if it's just 15 mins. </p> <p>Do you have to set an alarm during the week? </p>
