you have to shut it down differently.
1. Use ctrl + alt + F1 to switch to terminal,
2. login.
3. run sudo service lightdm *stop* , lightdm and *xserver* should be
stopped now (check with ctrl + alt + F7 , which is your current
*xorg* session,
it should not show any desktop now)
4. do your things.
5. run sudo service lightdm start to start lightdm and *xorg* again.
Replace lightdm with the following as required.
sudo service gdm stop
sudo service kdm stop

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
