The Snooze Button

[Torso]

I am the queen of snooze land.
Keep pressin' and pressin' and pressin'...

I've become addicted lately. At least 3 snoozes.

Ha, I wish.

I press snooze for an hour before I get up. I guess that's about 6 hits of the snooze button?

Why is the standard snooze always 9 minutes? I've never owned an alarm on which the snooze time was any different.

This is why I put my alarm clock across the room.

i always set my alarm for an hour and a half before i need to be up. i need to press that button at least 10 times. plus i have the snooze buttom on my cell phone which i set to press 3 times(1/2 hour). my stereo goes off when i have to be up.

i have problems getting up.

 

[mingster]

yep. i snoozed for an hour this morning.


sometimes, i just start pressing any buttons to shut it up, and end up turning off my alarm, and it never goes off again. bliss...until i wake up.



god i love sleeping.

Learn to use the alarm clock "THE PROPER WAY"... mine is placed on the other side of the room, so I would have no choice but to get up to turn it off. Once I am up, there is no way I will go back to sleep.

I should use snooze more often. I now turn off the alarm clock and then I'm late for work (ie...today I missed 10 minutes of a team meeting)

my alarm clock is 1/2 hour ahead, and i set the alarm an hour before i need to wake up.

I do that. Useless really. I always think I can afford an extra 11 min.

Snooze is only 5 minutes on my clock.

Snooze button's great for dream recall.

 

[maddog]

I use my cell phone's alarm to wake me up and when I hit the button to stop the alarm I fall asleep again making me late for work when wake up in a frenzy I look at my phone and it says Snoozing Ya no shit u piece of shit phone

Some of us enjoy that lovely 9 minutes of sort-of sleep between snoozes. I set my alarm an hour early on purpose.

The alarm clock is on my wife's side of the bed because she usually has to get up before me.

I hear it go off and then go silent. Then my wife scooches into me and we go back to sleep.

When she doesn't scooch then I know it's time to get up.

True.. I end up turning the whole damn thing off and jump back into bed.


Or I put the alarm clock on timer with radio on. Once the music stops in an hour I miraculously(sp?) wake up.

my snooze is 9 minutes long. I press it at least three times before getting up. Thing is the first two I do while still sleeping so I don't even realize it. My old alarm clock used to automatically stay (buzzer or radio) on after 5 snoozes. then you couldn't snooze anymore. A hidden annoying, but useful feature.

I hit the snooze 3 times everyday before I get up but I can totally get up have a shower and get back into bed and sleep - I almost did that today

sweet sweeeeeeet sleep

 

[mingster]

when i'm at my boyfriend's place, it's the worst/BEST!

i love turning off the alarm and cuddling up and going back to sleep. but he gets up so much later that it's just too dangerous to enjoy too often. sigh.

 

[lucky1]

..seems like the average amount of times to hit the snooze button is three

WHere Peej? Numba three in effect.

The snooze button is poison. The more I hit it the more tired I am throughout the day.
