If I turn his alarm off for him, or tap him and wake him up to tell him its going off when it beeps, he says it messes up his waking-up routine of hitting the snooze on his own timing/schedule.
If I just leave the alarmbeeping it goes off for about 25 minutes before he wakes up and turns it off. Eventually he wakes up, but honestly on days when I don't wake up to the alaram and wake him up he ends up getting up LATE more often than not.
I can't stand the noise of the beeping alarm clock. It grates on my brain. So I usually wake up, tap hiim and tell him to turn the thing off (okay, I usually smack him, squeeze him and tell him SHUT THAT PIECE OF NOISY SH--T- OFF!) but either way, the alarm goes off a bunch,. he wakes up, etc.
If I don't tap him or wake him up he turns it off on his own schedule.. which again.. takes usually about 20 minutes for him to realize its beeping (painful for me) and then sometimes he gets up on time, other times hes late.
Should I shut it off or no

I do the same thing to my husband. He just hits snooze for me. I eventually wake up and he doesn't have to listen too long at a time, but he does have to listen, often.

My husband used to do this when we first got together and it drove me mental! It would wake me up when i was off work and i couldnt get a lie in. I spoke to him (when he was up) about it and he now is more conscious of it therefore wakes up and sticks it on snooze straight away. Its better for you anyway not to keep snoozing as it makes you more tired this way. Try telling him nicely that you need a compromise because its disrupting your sleep, its fair enough when youre on your own to do this but when you live with someone you have to give a little. Good luck x

Be careful how you wake a sound sleeper. When I was in the Army, the sergeant often had to shake people [being careful to do it out of the range of their fists]. In the French movie series about Inspector Maigret, Madame Maigret used to wake her husband by grabbing his big toe and gently but firmly pulling it.
It is difficult for my son to get up in the morning. In addition to setting alarms, we have to telephone him [long distance] every work day.
One person I know actually went to a truck stop and purchased a "Screaming Mimi" alarm.
It is annoying to have an alarm go off, but it would be more annoying if your husband lost his job if he became chronically late for work.

You need to talk to him about this. It is ridiculous to expect you to deal with the alarm going off for 20 minutes. How rude of him.
Sleep in another room until he gets a clue. Let him be as late as possible, its his responsibility to get up when the alarm goes off.

leave the alarm on... so he can learn to wake up and turn off the alarm... cant stand the beeping alarm? sleep in different room... also act as a punishment for him to not wake up to turn alarm off...
I really hate someone woke me up by yelling, shake me or smacked me... it would make the whole day a bad day for me.

It is absurd for him to expect you to listen to his alarm for 20-25 minutes just so you don't mess up his 'waking-up routine'.
I would boot his butt out of bed as soon as that alarm goes off, especially if he would just go back to sleep otherwise. If he wants to stay in bed later, then he should set his alarm for later.

wake him up and make him turn it off That is the whole reason for alarm clocks to wake us when we don't want to be awake. Tell him if he doesn't like you waking him up then to figure out a new system because the old one is broken.

No, your not his mother. Let him face the consequences of not getting up. Go sleep in another room if you have to. You can suggest to him to buy a different alarm clock that is louder and move it across the room. This is what i had to do to detach, and it worked. Good luck

The blame in life gets worse when one is in slumber. Most people are "not themselves" or not "in their right mind" when being woke up. Let him be late a few times, and no matter of yelling at you or being pissed at the world will make up for the irresponsibility of getting ones own corpse out of bed when life is still moving around you.

I'm assuming he's older than 5 since he's your boyfriend. He can get himself up. He can oversleep if he wants. He can be late if he wants. Don't become involved with it. Don't help him rush once he's up. He needs to grow up and learn how/when to get out of bed.
