Waking up to an alarm

Why is it so hard?
My first day as an intern and I set my alarm early so I could go for a run (I find running relaxing...I don't think when I run) I did not get up, but rolled over turned the alarm off and decided sleep was far more important.
Thank goodness I have a back up alarm....the one that is set to get me out of bed when I'm to lazy to run, but  still set early enough so I can get ready, grab a coffee and make it to work early on my first day.
It went off..... I rolled over, turned it off and elected for another half hours sleep.
Fortunately I have a backup, back up alarm. This alarm goes off and crap! I really have to get out of bed now. No time for makeup or morning sex or I'm going to be late!
Why is it that I can get up at the same time or earlier when I am on holidays without an alarm, with no problems and look forward to going for a run?
I think it's obligation.
The alarm means I HAVE to do something. I don't have a choice, I'm not being asked nicely if I would LIKE to get out of bed and come to work.....I'm being TOLD to.
I don't like being told what to do. Never have.
Anyway, so I make it to work...last one to walk in and pick up my name tag. No flying under the radar for me! I have been noticed already (at least I'm not wearing a red Hawaiian shirt)
The first day was  paperwork, introductions, hospital tour and learning really important things like healthcare funding.
A lot of TLA's (three letter acronyms) DRG, WAU, LAM,  MAP, DMR, ABF....and the list goes on, it's like being back in officer training school and I start to tune out.
Someone please wake me for lunch.
The afternoon passes with a refresher on hand washing, cannulation, spiking and IV and how to take blood. Interesting for those who have not been nursing for 20years. Mostly boring for me, however I try to forget that I am a nurse and realise that even old dogs can learn new things and different / better ways of doing old things.
The day ends and I am happy to report on my first day I did not suck at being an intern....if only it was going to be this easy everyday.
A drink at the local with the other newbies and I am done for the day.
So the two most important things I learnt on my first day as a doctor have nothing to do with doctoring and more about learning how to live with my man-friend (this is just as new and scary if not scarier than being an intern)
1. If I set an alarm it can only be ONE alarm and I have to get up and let him sleep.
2. There is NO talking in the morning when we are both getting ready for work-it makes us both late.
