Here is my morning routine:

Set the alarm for 30 mins before I have to leave the house.  
[/QUOTE]

waitwaitwait… you set your alarm in the morning?

_runs away_

Mine:  
wake up at unOgly hour without any kind of external alarm,  
go pee,  
realize I’m not sleepy any more,  
see it’s absolutely not time for breakfast yet,  
get drink (water, milk) while computer boots up,  
do stuff in computer until reasonable time rolls by,  
decide whether I’m taking a shower or not (in general I prefer to shower in the afternoon) and take it or not  
dress  
breakfast  
brush teeth  
spend more time in computer until it’s time to leave for work.

I had a couple jobs where I could go in as early as I wanted and leave eight hours later, but in general it’s a no-no.
