There should be a snooze alarm that hits me back after I hit it twice.

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

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

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.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My cat uses the alarm to tell when she can come over to my bed and get petted.

Ha! yeah. I could use one of those. I'm a terrible, TERRIBLE snooze alarm abuser.
