At long last i had the house to myself and settled down at a reasonable hour to get some sleep. All went well until about 6 am, when i was awoken by the internal alarm going off and to my joy the external one as well, shit!
After a bit of a mad panic trying to find my glasses i run down stairs, turn all the lights on and reset the alarm (this turns it off). I should add we don't leave the alarm on at night, so it was going off alone!
I drag myself back into bed, fully aware that i have a 6 hour shit tomorrow of pulling cages and lifting boxes and mainly just walking miles. Sleep soon comes and i snuggle into my lovely bed. 30 mins or so latter, i am awoken again with the alarm, this happens once more before i decide this is getting a little ridiculous! I grab my quilt and pillow and set up bed on the sofa down stairs, just round the corner from the alarm. Another two times it goes off but by about 7.30 the alarm decides it will finally let me sleep.
Id like to say this was the first time but it sadly is not, along with coutless times it has gone off in the evening it seems to target me in the middle of the night when im in the house alone! Last Saturday, me and Shaun woke to it going off around 12am several times.
SO what to do, i finally decided that i wanted a un interupted nights sleep last night so... i took a screw driver to the alarm
It now looks a little like this
