Sleep meme via Bitch Phd (who has, bar none, the best blog banner ever), only because as I read her answers, I started to answer it myself inside my head and then there just wasn't room for everything else.
1. Do you use an alarm clock to wake up?
Usually. Unless I'm dogsitting at Colleen's house, in which case Chubbs (the puppy) is invariably really really done with sleeping by no later than 5:45am. Or the bull mastiff will be attacked by aggressive dust motes at 4:30am on the dot and then everyone else will come to his howling rescue, rendering the alarm on my cellphone completely superfluous, and in fact annoying when it goes off and I can't remember where I left it in her house.
2. What time does your alarm go off?
Usually, 6am, in the hopes that I will float graciously out of bed and make it onto the early bus into Burlington.
3. What sound does it make?
A delicate *ting* of a bell. I have issues with being startled out of sleep, so it took nearly 3 months of research by El Yo and I to find an alarm clock that wouldn't make me fly across the room. Last weekend he knocked it onto the floor and we just stared at each other in horror: If that's broken, it's going to be easier to train the rabbits to wake us than to talk about replacing it.
4. Do you hit the snooze button? How many times?
Hell yes. A variable number of times, dependent solely on transportation issues. If I've already missed the early bus but need to make the second bus, maybe once. If I think I can cadge a ride from El Yo, twice easily. If I wind up with a monthlong parking pass on campus? Four times is the sweet life.
5. If you have a partner, do they have a separate alarm?
Nope, he's trapped here with me in gentle bell hell.
6. Does your partner get up at the same time, earlier or later?
See "ride, cadging" above. Although if I take the bus then I think he only sleeps a half hour or so after I leave. I can generally tell by when his IM status lights up. If it's still on "away" at 9:30, I'll call the house.
7. Is your clock set ahead? If so, by how much?
Yup! A habit of highly neurotic but effectively on-time people. It used to be at least 15 minutes, but El Yo keeps squeaking it back. El Yo is neither neurotic nor on-time.
8. What's the first thing you do when you get up?
Define "getting up". Right after I wake up, I pet the Princess, my beautiful rabbit who has learned that she can influence the snooze button usage by looking cute and curling up against my shoulder just before the alarm goes. Out of bed? Curse.
9. Do you eat breakfast? If so, what?
Zone bar and a flagon of coffee, but not til I actually get to work.
10. How long does it take you to get ready?
When is the bus coming? Left to my own devices, maybe 20 minutes. Needing to catch a bus I can get it all pulled together in as little as eight. Feel my hup groove.
11. On the weekends, what time do you get up?
9:30? Maybe? Again influenced by the Princess. If I don't have to be anywhere, there's no reason not to lay around and casually slide into the day by petting the bunny.
12. Do you lounge or do you jump into action?
See above.
13. In an ideal world, what time would you get up?
5:30 and I'd be all cheery and chipper coherent enough to make and sip coffee on the porch before putting together a fabulously professional outfit for work, instead of taking eight minutes and looking like I fell out of a tree.
14. How many hours of sleep do you typically get?
Sixish. I can't get organized enough to sleep before midnight.
15. How many hours of sleep do you want to get?
Four. Imagine the sheer productivity of it all.
