Maybe it’s just me who doesn’t like routine, but have you thought that if you didn’t have a fixed side of the bed to sleep the problem of the radio would be (at least sometimes) solved? When I sleep on the side of the radio (no such thing as my side or your side at our home), the snooze button is hit the second after the radio went on…
As for the rest of the routine, I can only say I understand and share my sympathy…

I feel your awakening pain. Our apartment morning ritual:

5:30, alarm clock goes off to (yes) news radio. It beeps and plays and is all out annoying until David actually wakes up (or I get annoyed and give him the “hint”). However, David doesn’t actually hit snooze, he just turns off the buzzing part and LEAVES THE RADIO ON. Then, about half of the time, he promptly falls back asleep, relying on me to wake him back up again fifteen minutes later, and then again fifteen minutes later after that.

He actually gets up at 6, to be out the door at 6:25. Why we couldn’t just sleep an extra half hour is beyond me.

Of course, the news radio can be interesting. They seem to play a song every 20 to 25 minutes or so to break up the monotony, and one morning I awoke to Prince telling me over and over that I’m a “sexy motherfucker.” So surreal.

It occurs to me that with such a heavy workload, you’ll be needing an assistant. You know, someone to keep the kettle going and keep the nail files sharp. Lemme know if I can help.
