I don't understand using the snooze button. You set the alarm to when you have to get up, if you can hit the snooze button then you didn't have to get up as early as you set the alarm. Just set the alarm later and get the good sleep instead of the crappy snooze sleep.
Except sometimes, your thinking is, "I should get up at 6:00," so you set your alarm for that, and then when it goes off you think, "If I sleep another nine minutes, I'll still have enough time to get ready for work if I hurry...."
The snooze alarm works for me, because I like to lie in bed for a few minutes after I wake up, and with the snooze I make sure I don't fall back to sleep.

There should be a snooze alarm that hits me back after I hit it twice.
I am Perkins. It takes me a while to wake up enough to understand what the glowing red things mean, so I am guilty of using the snooze.
That's why I have the radio as my alarm AND a second alarm. Wake up to the radio - listen to NPR and they keep reminding me of the time.
Looks like I'm the freak. Typically I wake up about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off. I figure I might was well just get up since I'm not going to get any good sleep in 10 minutes.

If you're a freak, then my DH and I are bigger freaks since we don't generally even set an alarm.

These days, Dylan is my alarm clock, but before he was born I used to set my alarm to turn on NPR about 30 minutes before I needed to be up, and then the buzzer to go off when I *really* needed to be up. The only downside was drifting back to sleep and dreaming about the news.
