Alarm clocks are your friend.

had to chuckle on that one. There are several folk here on the TrumpTrain who like me have profound hearing loss - they will fully understand what I will share.

When I started my hotel job several years back, I was hired as a breakfast hostess. shift 6-10./11.. Breakfast was up but I restocked, did dishes (real plates and cups and glasses) and cleaned up.

I am a morning person and usually up early. When you go to sleep at sunset because it is dark and you have no power, it is given BUT i now HAD to be up & get ready

I ordered two windup clocks from Amazon. One propertied to be so loud it would wake up and anger the neighbors. Well, maybe it did - I never got any response from them.... but IT DID NOT WAKE ME UP. Neither clock did. First morning they had been ringing for maybe 20 minutes.

Fortunately the manger saw I had abilities to run front desk and soon moved to that position and worked later hors.

My daughter had the same problem with alarm clocks. She could never wake up & slept right through the. Finally bought her some type of “sonic boom” clock. That didn’t work either. But the “sonic boom’ alarm also came with an attached vibrating pad that you put under your pillow to shake you awake. That worked & has proved quite useful now that she has roommates in college. She is shaken awake & the roommates sleep in.
