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.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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 feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
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.

It works better for deep sleepers/slow wakers like me. The first alarm isn't enough to actually get you fully awake, but the noise and hitting the snooze button pulls you far enough out of sleep that the next alarm can wake you up for real.
