This is a crucial part to creating a lasting spooning position. This responsibility usually falls on the big spoon because it is likely his or her arm that will suffer the consequences. Bad arm placement can result in your arm falling asleep or an inability to leave the spooning position. Here are some arm positions you should avoid at all costs: The T-Rex Arm happens when two people are spooning on their sides and the big spoon's bottom arm is caught behind the back of the little spoon creating a T-Rex arm (bent at the elbow) that has no room to expand. Army Arm happens when two people are spooning on their sides and the big spoon's bottom arm is forced to be straight at their side. This is often uncomfortable and creates a barrier between the big spoon's front and the little spoon's back, therefore decreasing intimacy. Superhero Arm happens when two people are spooning on their sides and the big spoon's bottom arm is forced to extend straight-up as if he or she were about to fly. While this allows the big spoon to put his or her arm under the neck of the little spoon, increasing intimacy, this can quickly lead to a dead arm and leaves little room for the big spoon to escape. Hugging Arm happens when two people are spooning on their sides and the big spoon's bottom arm is wrapped around the waist of the little spoon. This can lead to the worst possible scenario: Big Spoon's arm falls asleep and Little Spoon's too comfortable to wake up and free the big spoon's arm. Amputation is then the only way to break free without waking your partner. If you do try to escape, try explaining why you woke your partner without sounding selfish (Hint: it's not going to happen). If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen (without offending your partner). Leaving the cuddling position breaks or "ends" the intimacy of the moment. Pulling out of the position, therefore, must be done in a diplomatic way. We all need some personal space sometimes, and it's perfectly natural to feel this way. Here are some ways to stop cuddling as gracefully as possible: Fake it so you don't hurt your partner's feelings. Use a fake yawn or a casual sleep "grunt" to establish that you are "doing this in your sleep". This will establish that you are doing this while sleeping and not because they are a bad spoon. This will spare their feelings and prevent any confrontation. Once you create your escape noise, be sure to continue using it before and after you escape and then periodically. It's called establishing your baseline and this is going to make this a whole lot more convincing. Do a limb block. The goal is to be able to roll out of the position. This means you will need a clear escape route that involves as little effort as possible'you are doing this in your sleep. First remove any arms or legs by either: Slowly move the limb yourself without waking them. To move a limb without your partner noticing, it's going to be a single, slow, and methodical motion. This is going to need to be done with your eyes closed. If the other person catches you, play "asleep." Creating an uncomfortable situation for your partner that makes him or her move that limb. If you are experiencing issues with being able to move an arm or limb, or heaven forbid are the bottom spoon in a position, it's going to be best that you make your partner as uncomfortable as possible. Then when he or she moves, you are guilt-free. Swiftly roll out. Roll over to an open space in the bed by tucking all of your limbs as close to your body as possible and then "rolling" in one motion to the free space. This is a commitment. Once you start to roll, you cannot abort the mission. This is a red-flag that you are awake. This will make it extremely obvious that steps one and two were purposeful and that you were trying break the "intimacy" that the spooning set out to establish.

It's important to wake up for school at the same time everyday so that your body is used to getting up at your scheduled time. Even on the weekends, try not to wake up more than half an hour later than you usually do for school days. If you have trouble waking up on your own, set an alarm clock or ask your parents to wake you up in the morning. If you still have trouble waking up with an alarm clock, put your alarm clock in a different room or somewhere farther away from your bed. This way, you'll be forced to get out of bed and turn off your alarm. If you prefer to shower at night, washing your face in the morning can help to wake you up. Don't forget to brush and floss your teeth. If you like to use makeup, use more neutral colors like peaches, browns, and yellows for a normal school day. When it comes to shoes, think about what you'll be doing that day. If you've got soccer practice after school pack your socks and cleats. If you're going to be standing around in choir class, don't wear heels. What you eat for breakfast will affect your performance for the rest of the day. Get good carbs, fiber, and some protein. Healthy options include oatmeal, a smoothie, yogurt, or eggs. Even if you're short on time, grab something to go like a banana or apple.
