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.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

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

There was some comedian I was watching who talked about his sleep self, and how he would try to get up for work but this guy would say, "Sure, you could go to work, or you could go skiing, but your skis are made of french toast!" And he would say, "Awesome! That's much more fun!"
