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.

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!"

basically sleep is just the extremest example of how I am inertia's bitch. It's so comfortable and easier to just stay in bed.

mac often has a hard time transitioning from one thing to another, especially if he does not know the schedule beforehand or if a schedule changes. I feel for him, because at my core, I am the same - it just gets buried deeper as I have less and less choice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wake up to the radio - listen to NPR and they keep reminding me of the time.
This is actually why I moved my alarm time earlier, because now I wake up to the Marketplace Morning Report (10 minutes before 7), and generally notice the switch to regular morning edition. I am sometimes able to sleep through 30-40 minutes of news.
Weirdly, this morning I woke up right when the alarm went off, even though I had moved it off the station in changing the time last night. So the radio playing really faint half spanish news, half english news woke me up.
