Am I the only one who does this? 😅 I have something tonight and will be home rather late & cannot risk sleeping past my alarm.

I do the exact same thing.

I actually have it set to automatically turn my alarms on each workweek evening (apple shortcuts>automations). Set it and forget it!

I got a cheap $25 fitness tracker because it has a vibrating alarm that wakes me up without disturbing anyone else. I'm also thinking about getting a pair of Bose's sleep earbuds for a similar purpose

Have kids so you wake up earlier!

No thank you 😅 (at least not yet)

Op - I do this too.

And even though it may feel like overkill sometime, I once gave a buddy company to party (drink) and celebrate his first paycheck and missed 13 alarms and a flight the next morning.

And if you are wondering why 13 alarms, I realized in my drunken stupor that I’d had too much and was trying to make sure I wake up for my flight by setting alarm after alarm after . . . . zzzzzzzz

Not anymore, my iphone sometimes likes to not sound the alarm even though the ringer’s on max. I would wake up late sometimes with the “tap to dismiss” alarm screen on the phone, all while making 0 sound. I started using my amazon echo for alarms now lol

I am so glad I am not alone, thanks ya’ll.

And I just made it back home. Let’s hope this series of alarms gets me out of bed in less than 4 hours 😅.

I am. Slept a whole 3.5 hours. 🥴

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Case 1: complaining about a date insisting on picking up the check as it makes them feel less independent.
Case 2: agreeing on 50/50, then being upset about why the date never picks up the check or treats them after 3 months of dating

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

Well, just 🤯
