I'm pretty difficult to wake, because often the slightly hushed speaking voices have a quite soporific effect on me. So I gave up on Today, and went with 6 Music instead, which is a bit more of an aural kick up the arse. If I'm not up by the time George Lamb comes on, then I definitely will be five minutes later. Hmm, I'm clearly a crap political type: for me, it's not John Humphries, but George Lamb...

It's a bit random whether it'll be John Humphries or someone they're interviewing who'll annoy me, but one way or another someone will be so annoying that going for a shower is preferable to staying in bed and listening to them.

I don't even bother setting my alarm any more as I can be certain my daughter will have brought me her Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy to play well before I have to leave for work. Somehow it is always a nice experience. Signed: Soppy Dad As Stuart said above, if you’ve got kids, that’s what gets you up.
