I would very much like a nap. I may have to go to the couch in the bathroom and have a quick shut eye over lunch.

Gud, I have THREE alarms. It's what it takes to wake me up. Having to do something helps wake me up. Which is why one of the alarms is one the floor out of reach. My only thought when the alarm goes off is NOOOOOooooooo for at least a cycle or two. Eventually it occurs to me I have to get up. But not right away. I'll take even bad sleep.
edit:
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.
hah. Yeah, NPR starts up first for me too.

Morning people are freaky freaks who freak my shit out.
I'm not really a morning person. I just wake up well and I'm driven by guilt to get up and exercise.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If I'm really tired when the alarm goes off, I set it for one hour later and then just go to work at 9:00 instead of 8:00.

Looks like I'm the freak. Typically I wake up about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off.
God, I WISH. Part of the thing for me is, I'm GOING to hit the snooze alarm. I just am. Partly because I'm lazy, partly because I actually really like the feeling of drifting back to sleep. That means that if I set the alarm for when I really need to get up, I'd hit the snooze anyway, so then I'd be late. As it is, I'm already hitting it past the point I need to get up because I'm so tired.

I remember one day last year when I woke up alert and refreshed and instantly realized a power outage must have shut off my alarm and made me oversleep by several hours.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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.
Yeah, this. Sleep bon and awake bon are two different people. Sleep bon is pretty much a craven addict that bargains away exercise, coffee, showering, hair brushing, and being on time for work for more sleep.

Ow, wow. If I could harness my overdeveloped guilt complex to get myself out of bed the moment my alarm went off and to get more exercise, I could rule the world.

not your mom's socks.
There should be a snooze alarm that hits me back after I hit it twice.
bwah. true!
