Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.

I do this. Also, by setting my radio alarm to the same time and just leaving it on (radio plays for 2 hours, and then shuts off), I never have to worry that I've accidentally turned it off.
The sole function of my snooze button is for Sunday mornings, when the radio plays some stupid and boring local program for the first half-hour, which annoys me enough that I'll hit snooze so as not to have to listen to it while waking up. (After that it's the ordinary national morning show, which I like just fine.)

Oh, I do that too. "And the last word in business today is..."
At that point, I should be getting up.
Someone needs to install a snooze alarm on my toddlers.
My biggest problem is when the dog wakes me up (by getting up and walking around the room) well before my alarm. Because then I have to get up, carry him downstairs and outside, wait for him to do his business, wait for him to make his way back in the house, give him a treat (good boy!), wait for him to follow me back upstairs, and then I always think I deserve more sleep after that. Even if it's, like, 15 minutes. But then 15 minutes is not enough so it turns into 30 and so on. When really I should just get up with him and then go for a long walk.
Why isn't it time for lunch yet? I disapprove.
The radio part of my clock radio stopped working about five or seven years ago. So I just get the annoying electronic buzzing instead.
Huh. Morning news for an alarm might be nice. So instead I go online and check the weather. For some reason I like to do that before I get into the shower - apparently so I can think about what to wear while I'm showering.....
That is awesome.
