Snooze button on alarms.... Who uses it???

[yoda313]

Hello,

I'm always hitting the snooze button in the morning (just once though!). Though I have the alarm set an extra 10 minutes early so I won't be late if I really can't get up.

I think it's a nice feature even though most of us probably hate alarms as much as we hate cellphones. There great utilities but we hate what they remind us of ----- WORK!

I don't hit my snooze alarm, she gets up before I do

[Faustus]

I do, I know 10 mins extra doesn't really do anything but when its time to wake up 10min sure seems like the world.

[northcat_8]

Not to thread jack, but does anyone else get pissed off if you wake up before the alarm goes off? I know when my wife has to leave early she will set the alarm for me, for 6:00am...if I wake up at 5:59 I'm pissed.

Hello,

Yeah I hate it when I wake up 20 or 30 minutes before my alarm. THAT'S why I have the snooze button!!! I leave myself another ten minutes to ease myself to alertness.

I'm a shocker when it comes to using the snooze alarm because I'm such a heavy sleeper.

To wake me up in the morning I have my CD player set at a high level which starts playing at say 8:00. I also have my mobile phone used as an alarm and it goes off at 8:05, 8:10 and 8:15. I then have the in built schedule set off reminders every 5 minutes after that. Even then I still sleep through it sometimes.

Luckily I have a lifestyle where I don't really have to be up early or if I do its not critical stuff so if I oversleep I don't stress out.

Ahhh, to be young again

My "Little Bo Peep" alarm starts bleating at 4:30am. I usually let it just run because while I'm getting dressed it gets me in the mood for the day ahead. "Baa-aaaa-aaaaahhh .......baa-aaaa-aaaaahhh" Very nice

It's really bad around exam and assignment times.

I remember my first year of university I stayed upto 5am doing this assignment which was due that day at 12pm. Had all the alarms set and still overslept, ended up waking up at 12pm. Quickly slipped on some pants and jumped in the car. Doing 160km/ph down the freeway, ended up getting there in record time and convinced my tutor to accept the late assignment because I had "car troubles".

Every morning -- 3 times (10 min. each).

Gives me the time required for my morning "stiffy" to subside before getting out of bed.

I really dont need an alarm. I rarely use snooze because I wake up before the alarm.

Every morning at 4.30, I use my mobile under the pillow.

No Snooze Alarm... Internal clock gets me up between 5 and 5:15 each day. Today.... 4:40 because I'm installing new OS in the am before work.

Does yours pin you to the bed if you're laying on your back too? I hate it when that happens. Takes 5 minutes of thinking about Rosie O'Donnell before I can get out of the bed I got around that, and got a more effective alarm than the sheep bleating by putting the ceiling fan on a timer .....

[Treebeard]

I hit that snooze button everyday , usually twice.

[CoasterCreator]

this is how I see it I hate to wake up and I hate the feeling of bearly waking up ...so I dont want the same feeling to occur more than once so I just dont touch the snoozer...I just wake up on the first run

[thecoalman]

Worst thing ever invented When I was younger I had to put my alarm clock across the room out of reach to make myself get out of bed. I could hit the snooze button all day if I used it.

Hello,

TEMPTING isn't it????

[CoasterCreator]

actually in school I had a loft and I would place the alarm on the bottom so I would have to go down to turn it off , I must say I was nicely awake and pissed at the same time

DITTO!

I woke up 90 minutes before my alarm went off today and I was pissed! I fell back asleep about 10 minutes before it went off

WHat I hate is when I got to hit snooze and accidently hit off instead. When this happens I usually get a wake up call from my boss

That must be some conversation, do you just ignore thhone and take off for work?

[thayne]

No I just answer it and say I'm on my way LOL

[flaninacupboard]

First day at my new job in april, i hit off instead of snooze. woke up at 9:30, supposed to be in the office at 9!!

I always hit snooze three or four times. i hate mornings.

[Shocker Milwaukee]

I use my cellphone alarm instead of my alarm clock. Although it has a snooze feature, I don't use it. I like the cell phone alarm because it beeps quietly, then increases volume steadily.

I am pretty bad for hitting snooze on my alarm. I have an alarm clock which produces an obnoxious buzzing noise and my Nokia which produces Dead Prez every morning. It even fades the music in gradually to wake me.

What really gets me up is the fact that I have a kettle in my room, and a ready supply of real coffee. A cup of black coffee really gives me some get up and go! It's just a case of leaving my nice, warm bed and braving the cold cross to the kettle... I have to be up at 0730 nearly every morning for my lectures so coffee plays a big part!

love the snooze button, nothin better... use that baby for at least an hour every morn. why just have one when u can have two? two alarm clocks on equal sides of the room just out of reach and i still barely make it to work on time

[ViRaL1]

I miss snooze. I use my cell phone now and it doesn't have a snooze. How crappy is that?

Yeah ever since the ceiling fan circumcision incident , I've been sleeping on my stomach. Must say I like the repeated paddling of the fan blades on my bare ass in the mornings much better !!
