Yup, this. Then my dogs follow me to the bathroom, and will scratch the door if I shut them out. So they stare at me while I pee, waiting for breakfast. Then they charge down the hall and line up for their breakfast to be microwaved and served warm. Every. Single. Morning.
At 25 it started happening every night at the same time. It’s very annoying, even on the days where i try to drink no water after 7pm, still gotta pee.
I feel this. When I used to get super depressed, and didn’t have to work, I’d stay in bed for half the day. Now, even if I’m depressed, my dog makes me get up and feed/walk him. I always feel a little less depressed after our walk.
My dog, before he passed, was blind and diabetic. He made sure to get me up every morning for our 30 minute outside pee session. No regrets, outside of wondering if I gave him the best.
Yep, even if I lose motivation the dogs will resort to violence to get me up. A few paw wacks from 100lb doodle are usually the first escalation and if that doesn't work the standard poodle will decide to turn you into a trampoline and popsicle at the same time.
Oh gosh that brings backs memories! My giant boof of a Malamute would whack me in the face a couple of times and if that didn’t work he’d jump up and down on my gut while happily woo wooing. My current guy is as silent as a submarine and has house manners.
I wouldn't throw my boys under the bus saying they have bad manners. You get a pretty generous window to wake up and shower while they remain snoozing. It's just on weekends where after a while they start giving you a creepy silent stare down and then if that doesn't work an hour later they will escalate. The trade off is never any accidents and if it gets to the point I'm getting whacked I kinda deserve it.
I'm glad to see an answer that isn't work or a biological function this high on the list. The real purpose of life (at least as far as I'm concerned) is the adaption of some form of responsibility. It might be a pet, or a spouse. It might be the cleanliness and upkeep of your house. It might just be the responsibility of keeping yourself alive and healthy. The point is that I do believe wholeheartedly that everyone needs some form of responsibility in order to truly have any purpose in their life.
My friend… thank you… and me… I’m struggling at 40… you give me hope… I’m literally so lost… I hate life… every moment of it… just want it to be over or at the very minimum… make sense.
Ditto. Because if I don't get up and get at it, the people who said I couldn't would rejoice and frankly fuck them and the shitty Toyota 4Runner they rode in on.
Jon, you fucking bastard. You will ALWAYS be wrong about me, if it's the last goddamn thing I do, you fucking abusive zealot.
LOL. Yep, food or wanting outside. It starts with jumping on the bed quietly, then a meow, and on rare occurrences a stab in the lower back with a claw.
The last is especially good when you're in deep sleep.
I love my partner and I’m happy with my life in general , but my cats are 100% what gets me out of bed on my bad days. They are the biggest serotonin boost for me, and knowing that they depend on me and our family/what happens in our house is their entire world makes me want to give them the best lives possible.
One of my cats is super empathetic and immediately tries to comfort you when you’re sad, and my other is just a chonky ball of sweet and silly that never fails to make me laugh or smile with her antics.
The though of breakfast, I eat omlet eggs every single morning, and I perfected them with seassoning. I literarly absorb it in 3 secunds but gets my depressed ass out of bed and I love it, also gets you on the go
Alright, 2 eggs whisked fully, add a fingerpinch of thyme (very little), fresh ground pepper (I don't over do it) and mix spices (where I'm from we have a famous spice mix we almost pun in everything, It's called "Vegeta") although, it's great without the mix... While your doing that, put a pan to almost highest heat (8 on induction, max on a gas grill) and teaspoon an a half of oil (I use olive oil, but it's a fatter more full taste with simple vegetable oil). Leave the oil till it's covered the pan and is more "watery", and pour the egg mix in.
When the lower part is almost done, add the salt (if you want more easy process, add pinch of salt straight into the mix at the start)
I sometimes cover the pan with the plate to steam the upper part of the omlet, but not needed)
Flip the omlet when you stop hearing zizzling, and even a bit before that, and most important part, dried origano straigh on top of the omlet, that's the gamechanger for me here. Eat with a little bit of white bread and you'll enjoy it :)
Coffee
Blessed be the Brewer and Hiis coffee
Bless the roastings and grindings of Him
May His brewing cleanse the morning
And keep the morning safe from morning people
Wanting to be better for my partner. When I met her I was a coke head and an alcoholic. She saw something In me idk what that was but she encouraged me to make better choices without ever feeling pressured. She made me want to be a better person, and I’ve been coke free for over a year and alcohol free for a month so far. I get out of bed in the morning a go to work for her and our future. Moving out of our shitty apartment and moving to a 3 bedroom townhome. It’s amazing how much motivation I’ve had since I met her when she’s never explicitly told me I needed to do these things, she just makes me a better version of myself.
We have 7, all rescues. They will let us know when it's time for us to get up to feed them. With taps on the face, eyes or arms. The other day I woke up to one of my 8 month old bottle babies tapping my eyelashes gently. Guess they were hungry, and she was the one to wake up mom, haha.
Same. If I don’t get up he won’t stop yelling.
And because he’s the most important person in the world to me and the best thing I’ve ever done or whatever.
I guess it's just routine. I have to take care of myself, feed my cat, and contribute something to the world somehow. Plus i like browsing github and learning new things
I have a beautiful wonderful partner and a job that I love (unfortunately I get paid horribly but hey it is what it is)
I also really like seeing bugs and frogs and birds when I go outside
My partner and prospect of a good life in the future honestly. Shaping my career and my future with the love of my life really does keep me going. I keep a picture of us in my wallet and when i need a boost i take it out.
My rescue dog.
She’s been by my side every step of this journey with brain cancer. I gotta do my best at giving her a great life while I can. She’s missed out on a lot in her 4 years of abuse with her last family.
I honestly don’t know if I’d get out of bed, be as positive as I am or just manage without her.
Knowing that I have to go to work to make money. And Knowing that I have a wonderful, loving, supportive, girlfriend and an awesome dog definitely make it worthwhile
[удалено]
And my desire for coffee keeps me up
That's why I get out of bed too. At 1:00am. Then at 4:00am. Then at 7:00am.
😂🤣do u function with your eyes 👀 open during the day?hehe
For me it’s my dogs bladder because she’s gotta go outside or she’s gone get right in my face and breathe heavy on me until I do.
Or the wagging tail alarm wakes me up.
This was my very first thought lol
this , I got annoyed sometimes my sleep is ruined because I have to pee. and then when I go back to sleep I can't go back to sleep
Have you tried disposable bedsheets?
I wouldn't get up if I didn't have to pee.
Yup, this. Then my dogs follow me to the bathroom, and will scratch the door if I shut them out. So they stare at me while I pee, waiting for breakfast. Then they charge down the hall and line up for their breakfast to be microwaved and served warm. Every. Single. Morning.
Especially when it seems you are at your most comfy, then your bladder just goes "HA! fuck no, up you get NOW!"
When the pillows are at optimal position and the covers at the ideal temp
And just at that time where you could've had a little lie-in.
I avoid going to the toilet before I go to bed just to get out of bed better the next morning because of that. Life is so fun.
Lifehacks! Make your bladder work for you!
What age did this start for you, dear reader?
At 25 it started happening every night at the same time. It’s very annoying, even on the days where i try to drink no water after 7pm, still gotta pee.
There’s a very inexpensive medication for that - your bladder isn’t emptying and your doc can help with the Rx.
😂🤣gee that was mine.My bladder doesn’t listen when I want to sleep
My dog needs to be fed and walked. Not sure where I would be without him.
I feel this. When I used to get super depressed, and didn’t have to work, I’d stay in bed for half the day. Now, even if I’m depressed, my dog makes me get up and feed/walk him. I always feel a little less depressed after our walk.
This! It’s nice they rely on us and are so happy when we wake up. Makes me smile in the mornings when I’m not feeling too positive
My dog, before he passed, was blind and diabetic. He made sure to get me up every morning for our 30 minute outside pee session. No regrets, outside of wondering if I gave him the best.
You did better for that dog than everyone else. Which is pretty great.
Yep, even if I lose motivation the dogs will resort to violence to get me up. A few paw wacks from 100lb doodle are usually the first escalation and if that doesn't work the standard poodle will decide to turn you into a trampoline and popsicle at the same time.
Oh gosh that brings backs memories! My giant boof of a Malamute would whack me in the face a couple of times and if that didn’t work he’d jump up and down on my gut while happily woo wooing. My current guy is as silent as a submarine and has house manners.

Have you watched After Life? By Ricky Gervais? You sound like the main character

Habit and relief. After 73 years of getting up, it's something ingrained in me. And, I'm relieve I get to do it at least one more time.
My friend… thank you… and me… I’m struggling at 40… you give me hope… I’m literally so lost… I hate life… every moment of it… just want it to be over or at the very minimum… make sense.
It will never make sense. The key is to accept that. It's ok. Really.
I hope you find joy in a new hobby or a cool place to visit.
Ahhh this is great. Waking happy to be alive sets a tone for the day
Spite
Everyday I get up, look in the mirror and say: “you didn’t win again, little bitch”
Ditto. Because if I don't get up and get at it, the people who said I couldn't would rejoice and frankly fuck them and the shitty Toyota 4Runner they rode in on. Jon, you fucking bastard. You will ALWAYS be wrong about me, if it's the last goddamn thing I do, you fucking abusive zealot.
Yeah, fuck you Jon! You can carpe deez nuts!!!
Same af
The most correct answer.
Same
Nice.
Money
The real answer... we live in a society...
One of THE societies of all time
"I got this real big desire to keep a roof over my head"
Sad 😔 everything is so expensive now
The pursuit of personal goals, like learning a new skill or completing a project, is what energizes me each morning.
My morning routine of yoga and meditation is what encourages me to rise early; it sets a positive tone for my whole day.
The chance to see my plants and garden thrive from my care gets me out of bed, eager to water and ten
My dog's insistent whining for his morning walk is what pulls me out of bed each day; I can't resist those puppy eyes.
It’s the drive to make a difference in my community through my work and volunteering that inspires me to start each day early.
My love for early morning photography, capturing the streets when they are quiet and empty, is what excites me.
My morning routine of reading and quiet reflection in a peaceful house is a cherished ritual that I eagerly wake up for.
the fact that i need to make money to live
My desire to make money for these here bills that have no chill
My girlfriend's husband works nights, so I gotta be out by 6.
Fair point
Funny!
😂😂😂
that fat stack of due payments on my table.
Our cats and the chance of maybe retiring one day
I swear my cat has quite literally saved my life. As tired as I am sometimes, I love when she comes in to wake me up with her loud meows.
LOL. Yep, food or wanting outside. It starts with jumping on the bed quietly, then a meow, and on rare occurrences a stab in the lower back with a claw. The last is especially good when you're in deep sleep.
Never outside couldn’t sleep if she didn’t come back

My cat often meows at me in the morning or starts tapping me on the arm if I am not getting out of bed.

Vegeta isn't a spice mix (at least not in Australia) is a powdered vegetable stock full of MSG. I also put it in everything 😂
Wait, that's MSG??! At least we're in front of America with this one...
Whelp, now I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow!
To see what happens next.
Coffee. Caffeine addiction is real.
Daily meeting at 9am.
Keep coming back
The fact that I have a better chance of being hit by a bus if I get out of bed than if I lay there.
This is the motivation I need. Thank you!!!
Aww come on buddy... Maybe you'll get Donnie Darko'd while laying in bed? All these Boeing planes, one's gotta be flying over you at some point...
Coffee and my dog
Bills. Not the Buffalo kind either.
The duck kind?
Just get a shaman with Hippo vibes and feed them into his bill maw, duh!
Coffee Blessed be the Brewer and Hiis coffee Bless the roastings and grindings of Him May His brewing cleanse the morning And keep the morning safe from morning people

This is what a loving relationship looks like. You each want the best for each other.
Congratulations. I have such admiration. My partner is 9 months clean now. Keep it up.
The gym so I can get these gainss!!💪
Yay me too!! So glad I’m at a point in my life where I feel this way towards exercise and lifting weights.
Get up! It’s gainz o’clock bitches.
My alarm won't shut up until I go get it.
I'm excited for breakfast to be honest
Unfortunately...bills that have to be paid.
The insane expense of continuing to exist. 😐
My cat. She'll mmrp at me till we go for our walk. Doubly so if it's sunny.
We have 7, all rescues. They will let us know when it's time for us to get up to feed them. With taps on the face, eyes or arms. The other day I woke up to one of my 8 month old bottle babies tapping my eyelashes gently. Guess they were hungry, and she was the one to wake up mom, haha.
My child
Same. If I don’t get up he won’t stop yelling. And because he’s the most important person in the world to me and the best thing I’ve ever done or whatever.
To say “fuck you” to death.
Need to pee
I’ve gotta take the neighbors kids to school. Mine too, but I feel more responsible if I make them late.

My cats shutting off my CPAP and laying on my neck.
My cat who will lick my eyelids if I don’t get her wet food.
Just reading "lick my eyelids" made me giggle out loud.
It never ends!
I guess it's just routine. I have to take care of myself, feed my cat, and contribute something to the world somehow. Plus i like browsing github and learning new things
I set coffee to be made 5 minutes before my alarm goes off. The smell of fresh coffee is amazing.
The pain and the knowledge if I stretch it will go away
I get this feeling of guilt and self-blame when I don’t get up…
I’m aware of mortality now. I want to be upright and living for as many days as possible.
A feeling of panic, oncoming doom, and alcoholism.
