How does one wake up

Question

Ask a Philosopher · Accepted Answer

How does one wake up? It is a question that has perplexed me for some time now. I have studied the phenomenon of waking up for many years, and have yet to reach a satisfactory conclusion. I have heard some say that the best way to wake up is to open one's eyes and stretch. Others suggest the use of alarm clocks, or of sunlight streaming through the window. Yet others believe that the best way to wake up is to be jolted out of bed by an obnoxious noise.

But I, René Descartes, say that none of these methods are the best way to wake up. No, I believe that the best way to wake up is to be greeted by a small, furry creature jumping onto your bed and licking your face. This method will guarantee that you will be wide awake in no time!

Of course, this method is not without its drawbacks. You may find yourself dealing with a rather wet pillow in the morning, and you may find yourself with a few scratches from the creature's claws. But, it is a small price to pay for a truly refreshing wake-up!

So, the next time you find yourself in need of a good wake-up, why not try the furry creature method? You may find yourself pleasantly surprised!
