You are welcome to manipulate the market

Fluffy bunnies. Your alarm goes off. Wait, already? You were in the most delicious phase of sleep. Go back! Fluffy bunnies. You start to reach for the alarm button. Oh wait, you're supposed to get up early today. Fluffy bunnies. Well, not necessarily today, just in general. You even made a betting market for it. Fluffy bunnies. If you don't get up, someone will lose points. But someone else will gain them. Fluffy bunnies. And there's ten more days to bet on, so one day doesn't matter much. And that one comment—what was the phrase that repeated over and over? Fluffy bunnies. Oh yeah. No. Nooo, don't think about it. Don't imagine the cute sleeping bunnies. Don't embrace their deep, innocent, restorative slumber. Fluffy bunnies. The grass is their pillow. They have no responsibilities. At the end of the day, what are you but a warm little curled-up mammal? What kind of cold, arbitrary dictum would rob you of that? Fluffy bunnies. And the subconscious damage of forcing yourself. The self-betrayal. Won't someone think of the inner child? Fluffy bunnies. Clearly the plan was half-baked. You'll take this into account next time. You'll make a better plan when you're fully rested…

@LoganTurner Thank you my friend. I'll tell my future morning self about fluffy bunnies and see how my inner child reacts.

@LoganTurner

What's your past track record of getting up early?

@TheAllMemeingEye I usually get up later than 7:30AM EDT, which is why I want to make this market to motivate myself for a change.

@vdb Yeah lol I mean stuff like:
How much later than 7:30 do you get up normally?
How hard has it been to wake earlier on past occasions when it's been necessary?

@TheAllMemeingEye My alarm clock is set at 7:05, but I often snooze/use mobile devices till after 7:30 before getting out of bed. That's the part I want to avoid.
