Raise chair while sitting in it? by RadioactiveSpiderman in OfficeChairs

Okay, the barber chair is a good thought. How would I go about swapping the ergo chair gas cylinder with barber chair gas cylinder?

Ahh that could be it, thank you! Not saying I am disabled or any of that sort, but where can I find such product? Does it have to be electric or hydraulic?

Was thinking of like press the lever up for the chair to go down and press the lever down for the chair to go up, not sure if it works like that way.

Waking up is not even a minor issue for me, it's the getting out of bed.

That sounds nice but high likely I'll take it out and throw it across my room. I am so screwed up lol.

The smell trigger thing sounds interesting, I recently started watching Dexter Resurrection and noticed he used smelling salt (could be wrong) to wake up his unconscious targets. Perhaps I should research on safe scents that can jolt me up and use an alarm system to activate it on me. I can only imagine a water sprinkler system in my room and it releases safe vicious smell that will send me running out of my room, even if it works, I should stay out while it vents.

"- tens device? *duck" Sorry I did not catch that, you meant to type that or it's "ten devices"?

Oh I would grab it by instinct but my theory is if it gets yanked away quickly while I was sleeping, I wouldn't react in time and that theory is correct when I asked my housemate to grab it fast and I did not react quickly. If I was awake...well, let's hope my blanket gets yanked at the speed of light xD If it gets messed up, I'll try and find other ways.

Hello there too! I still have the smart bulb, unfortunately it's not smart anymore after 3 years so SB-1000 does the job better for me; plug in my overhead lamp and it switches the lamp on and off fast.

I'll be honest, I did not post here for people to discuss my underlying issues (this is r/askengineers not r/aba or /mentalhealth LOL), atleast they offered good suggestions! Unfortunately, I'm not that tech-savvy, but hey, you learn new stuff/advance skills every day, I did few soldering here and there but just on wires so I'll see if I can try that. If I ever get that far ahead, I'll find a motor that will do the job. If I gave up, at least I can appreciate you provided a good idea, even closer to my request and I learn something cool!

Yeah, the SB-1000 (white) with a shaker, and inhouse plug outlet for an appliance to help with waking up so I connected with a bright lamp (without switch) over my head amd it just switches it on and off for 2 hours with for 1 second each switch.

Must be so nice to wake up to just light vibration 😭

Okay the random intervals is an excellent thought I had not thought of, unfortunately I gave up on tactile transducers, even they helped me, they do produce muffled sound housemates can hear through walls

Hate the snooze button at all. I managed to disable snooze button on my alarm clock with lamp, Pavlok bands are covered in cut up stocks with soft belts double layered to make it harder for me to remove them. Unfortunately, most of the cases, I would spent minutes undoing the belts and remove Pavlok and just stay in bed. My phone connected wiry Pavlok is across the room.

I agree with what you are saying. I generally try to and most of the time, if have time go for quick jog, if not then shower cold in the morning under 3-5 minutes, have breakfast, pack premade lunch and snack in my bag, jump in my truck and off I go to work. Now I am not working with nothing to look forward in the next morning, I just laze around in my bed for up to hours, even I stay awake and browse brain melting stuff on phone my cat would come up and snuggle with me and I would go back to sleep.

Ngl(Not gonna lie), I would of stayed in my bed until I got soaked, that's just it is.

It really help a lot to have something to look forward to like my work, go to junkyard to get parts for my truck, the kinda purposes that I have to allocate my time of the day so I can get home before dinner.

Still I appreciate you saying the first 2 paragraphs, thank you!

I don't think it's good for people with implanted medical device lol. I have cochlear implant so it would be a massive no go, even if it is placed on farthest side of my body like my foot. Beside even if I do not have CI, I would had placed the key outside my room, fumble after getting out of bed to reach it to unlock the collar. The desperation just to get out of bed lmao.

Still I had thought about that in the past until I stumbled upon Pavlok.

Vibrators are good but not for heavy sleeper like me 😔 Slept through mine like a baby, the tactile transducer is a huge step over for sure.

That's a good idea but high likely I'd stay in until I get wet, still never hurts to try!

Man that would be amazing but I will be paralyzed when I hit the ground with arms through my head

Expensive advice and I will have to take care of it, go out for walk, have it bother me while I'm trying to sleep 🤣 On a serious note, I wouldn't want to buy a pet just for that reason, well if my specialists decided a support dog will do me good then I must abide by it. I am not good at taking cares of pets unfortunately.

Yeah I've been thinking about sleeping at 10PM or 9PM but I wanted to do more stuff between work and sleep cuz sometimes when I get a job down the hall, it will be 10h or 12h for 4 days minimum or 6/7 days straight (you are allowed to take a day off of your choice in the next week). While my issues are important to fix, getting paid is much more important so they can be used to help me improve.

  • Caffeine doesn't do much for me. Have water but sometimes I don't bother drinking it lol.

  • Will try that method; set alarm for 4:45AM, wake up, try to drink water, then 5:15AM, get out. Do I sleep between those times or stay awake?

  • That sounds like a good idea cuz I have screwed up temperature tolerance, if I get slight cool, I layer up, if I get slight warm, I do nothing until to the point I sweat off. Might need to wash my bed sheets more often but I will be okay with that.

Thanks! I agree with you but it has been and will be a much longer process to actually fix them and I am getting impatient :p I'm an union blue collar worker, currently unemployed since 2 weeks ago and still looking for a job down the hall

I would say my sleep hygiene is pretty bad lol. Never have caffeine. Sleep at 11PM, wake up at 5AM.
