Shadowing practice
  • Start with that sleepy confidence from the night before, like you really believe 7:00 AM is doable.
  • Let your pace slow when the alarm blares so listeners feel the heavy, eyes-closed reach for snooze.
  • Lean into a playful groan while you describe bargaining for “just five more minutes.”
  • Pause before the “not yet” line so the ceiling-stare moment lands.
  • Speed up slightly as you describe the daily math of skipping routines—it should feel like scrambling in your head.
  • End on a dry, amused tone for the “Use once, regret all day” warning label.

Tip: Let the shift from confident intentions to sheepish snoozing happen in your voice so listeners hear the loop he’s stuck in.
