Get a sleep study done... I was in the same boat; turns out I have sleep apnea. Now (with CPAP) I sleep much better and wake up more easily.

Put the alarm where you have to get out if bed

Different types of alarms. There are ones that vibrate the bed or turn on lights. Also if the issue is you pressing snooze, put the alarm on the other side of the room.

Thanks, D3! Already have along with iron and B12. My D and B12 used to be low, but are now, thankfully normal. My ferritin (iron stores) remain stubbornly low despite having taken 65 mg of iron daily for more than two years. I'm likely having issues absorbing it due to GI damage, but that's just another issue. Great tip though and thanks! Anyone know any of those alarms that roll around and you have to chase them?

Make sure that your hearing is ok. Some people cannot hear low frequency sound.

Low frequency hearing loss happens suddenly and most likely impacts one ear. If the good ear is on your pillow, it will be hard to hear alarm.

Have you tried a Fitbit? It vibrates on your wrist for the alarm.

P2- wow! Good to know. Yeah, I already have one sleep disorder and have already employed almost all of the above-mentioned recommendations so maybe something like that is going on.

D2- hilarious. I laughed out loud! When I was little, my mom used to pull the blankets off of me, open the blinds, and run the vacuum to wake me up. I'm not kidding. I'm just dead to the world...

I did the same thing ATK1 suggested. The thing is, don't get back in bed after you turn off that alarm.

Here's the thing- I'm already doing that and just not hearing the alarm, even when it is up all of the way. I need some kind of fog horn. I downloaded this great app called "Loud Alarm," but it is kind of janky and doesn't always work so it is a big risk. Shake N' Wake was also good, but also not full proof

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
