heavy sleeper probs


the problems faced by those whose circadian rhythm sometimes nears hibernation status


people assuming that nothing can wake you up under any circumstances and consequently not even trying to be quiet and/or having loud conversations in your bedroom while you are were sleeping

having to set four alarms to wake up sort of on time for class/work/life

constantly looking like a disheveled slob with no regard for appearance due to sleeping through said alarms and having to rush to get ready in time

needing to change your alarm tone every few weeks because you've gotten too used to it and it doesn't even wake you up

the nightly fear that you won't wake up for class/work/life that prevents you from falling asleep which in turn diminishes the likelihood of you waking up on time for class/work/life

panicking every time you wake up on your own because that must mean you slept through your alarms and you're late

spending too much time on the internet researching expensive alarm clocks that have a chance of waking you up

roommates becoming (understandably) disgruntled due to the irritating and persistent nature of your four alarms

realizing that even the most "fool proof" alarm apps aren't enough to get you up—you can solve math problems, connect the dots, and complete puzzles in a semi-awake state before falling right back into that REM cycle
