Default Snoooooze

Mrs T- sets her alarm about a half hour before I am supposed to wake up. But she hits the snooze button about three times before she gets outta bed. I told her just set the alarm for the same time I wake up and just get up. She says she needs to slowly wake up and by snoozing she is more alert. I argue that she could be getting an extra 1/2 hour of sleep. I would also get another 1/2 hour of sleep

How many times do you hit the snooze button b4 you finally drag your azz outta bed?

Poll forthcomming

I used to hate the snooze button. Certainly, when others are in the same room (i.e. back in college dorm rooms) snooze was not an option and anyone who used snooze was going to get their ass beat. Since I've started my real job I've got in the horrible habit of hitting snooze. I probably hit it 1-3 times every morning now. I didn't hit it this morning, I really need to get back into that habit.

I'll put my answer down as two for now, but let it be known I'm making an effort to stop hitting that damn button.

Get one of these and I promise she won't set the alarm till when you actually need to wake up.

My kid wakes me up and he didn't come equipped with a snooze button.

I dunno what this means. Can you please explain this contraption? Is it just really loud? Why does it have wheels? Who in their right mind would choose to create a product with that color?

Alarm goes off, it rolls away so you have to get up to stop it.

Similar to the one that has a puzzle you must put together on the top before the alarm stops.
