Woke Up on a Monday Morning
Turned off my alarm to sleep 5 more minutes, and 40 minutes had gone by lol. Seriously, why does this always happen?

Just 5 minutes… It’s really amazing how this magic spell turns into 40 minutes.
Well, that's a bit... Isn't it more about fixing the habit of turning off the alarm and going back to sleep? When "just five more minutes" turns into 40 minutes, that just means your brain has already won. I feel like it'd be better to just set the alarm 40 minutes later.
If you keep your alarm within arm's reach, this happens 100% of the time. I switched to charging my phone at an outlet on the opposite side of the room, and after that, at least I have to get up and walk over, so it’s gotten a bit better. Of course, there are times I walk over, turn it off, and come back to bed, lol, but that’s a real battle of willpower.
Lol, it's the same thing every morning—why don't I ever learn?
That’s why these days I’ve set multiple alarms 5 minutes apart. I just ignore the first one and barely manage to get up starting with the second, but it seems better than not setting any at all. Everyone, hang in there on Monday ㅠㅠ
