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

My daughter, who would sleep until noon if left to her own devices, has an Echo Dot that starts out with "Good Morning" (Beatles) and then the daily weather report. Ten minutes later starts a series of escalating voice reminders spaced ten minutes apart to get up and go downstairs.

My son has a single alarm set but he always wakes up early and shuts it off. We're pretty sure he's a changeling.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I pretty much always could sleep longer if it was possible, and 9 hours was a nice amount of sleep to have. Then I got to 40 or so, and body was like, ha ha, sometimes you will wake up early for no reason, and you will be unable to sleep in even if you really need to! Sometimes you will get 6 hours, and I will unilaterally decide that's enough!

Our wings are not tired.

Setting the alarm to play "I got you babe" might work to get you moving. DH#1 had his set to NPR and that was okay.

Sometimes we have to put others needs above our own, but dude, bad fonts could be the exception.

It's not bad, just not what I'd like. It's a mug for bridesmaids. I've personalized with names, but I feel the need to do more. Maybe it's the font thing. Considering geeky decals. "Nevertheless, she regenerated ", Dalek "Caffinate!" and "Bad Wolf". Too much?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have snoozed for hours. I actually kind of enjoy the muzzy feeling, and that is usually when I can lucid dream. Now that I have a little kitty, she gets me up.

The snooze button is a tool of Satan. That said, I worship him daily through it's use

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My alarm is NPR. I am not a fan of noise alarms.

Same.

But lookie here, we continue to exemplify the wise words "different people like different things"

Facts!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My alarm is the local classical station. Of course, sometimes I get "Oh Fortuna!" blasting me out of bed in the morning, but generally, they schedule morning-friendly playlists for the early AM.

I've never understood snooze buttons. If the alarm goes off, I'm awake, and it'll take me way longer than 5-15 minutes to fall back asleep again, if I can do so at all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

sometimes I get "Oh Fortuna!" blasting me out of bed in the morning

That would be hilarious if I weren't the one being woken up (if I were, it would be extremely jarring).

I don't understand the snooze alarm. My mind gets stuck at, "if you like/need the sleep, why not set for the latest time possible and just get up rather than dealing with that @!$&#@ alarm noise and interrupted sleep more than once?"

If I have to be up at a certain time, the regular alarm is set for 20 minutes before that, because I absolutely need two snooze cycles to come out of regular sleep and start being aware enough to actually get out of bed. I've tried getting up as soon as the alarm goes off, and it goes poorly.

Our alarm is KEXP, the alarm on my phone for when I travel is Dr. Death Defying's opening speech from MCR's Danger Days album.
