Hitting The Snooze Button

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah, my roommate hits the snooze button 1 to 5 times every morning. This confuses me, if she's not ready to get up at 8, why doesn't she just set her alarm to later? Why hit the snooze button at all? She's only delaying the inevitable. I'm the type to put my alarm clock on the other side of the room so I have to get up to turn it off, so I'm awake enough to not go back to bed. What do you guys think? Do you hit the snooze button?

^^Yaye greetings Erisad. I am very sorry as I believe I do not press the happy snooze button upon my alarm clock when he awakens me (I named my lovely alarm clock Carlos). I believe he is a very loud clock. Also, I believe that I attempt to exit my bed very fast when I hear the lovely alarm so that I do not enter the land of dreams again.

I hit the snooze button a lot too. Then I realized it's just a better idea to put the alarm clock across the room, as you said, so I have to force myself out of bed .

You don't have to apologize to me. I don't hit the snooze button at all. It's a waste of time. I could be getting ready in those 5 minutes.

bggallag - Even when I would have my alarm clock right beside my head (this is when I'm at home) I still don't hit the snooze button. I guess my alarm startles me enough so that I don't feel sleepy anymore.

Sometimes I press the snooze button but I haven't often done it, it's only on some occasions I do it though just to get some extra sleep.

mmm snoozy

I don't use snooze but I do set 2 alarms, 30 mins apart, as I never like to get up the first time I wake. I always set the later one to the time I actually need to be up though!

I never used the snooze when I was in college, and sometimes I was late for class. I still don't like the snooze button. What's the point? So one can go back to sleep in 5 minute increments? So hitting the snooze button 5 times for 5 minutes each time equals 25 minutes. I hope your roomie takes that into account when setting her alarm time. If she's like most people, though, she doesn't, and she will then rush to get ready before class.

I set 3 alarms a few mins apart on my phone plus set my tv to come on loudly at the same time. and I still snooze it up:|

I've got a truly awful sounding alarm that I put across the room. I hate the sound it makes so much that I have trained myself to wake up in time to shut it off before it rings. I also set the alarm so that I have only enough time to get ready.

I also use my phone's alarm in addition to other alarm. 2 alarms are actually pretty helpful.

I have my alarm acrossed the room so that I'm too alert to go back to bed, after I turn it off.

i usually hit it at least twice, because i wake up in stages.
by the third or fourth time it rings i'm usually, awake enough to resist the tiredness and sit up.
then i just sorta sit there in a daze for a few minutes while my mind unfogs, rub the sleepyness from my eyes, and struggle to remember why i needed to wake up so damn early

If I hit the snooze button, I'll need to hurry to get ready and I might be late to class. It's not worth it. Plus, I have to get out of bed to turn the alarm off, anyway.

I use cell phone, so sometimes I take it and turn off the ring and sleep again. I do it while I'm sleeping, so when I wake up and I see that my cell is in my bed, I know I'm late.

I think that putting the clock far away from bed is good idea.

Yeah. I'm trying to get stuff done but I have to keep the light off. Not to mention I keep hearing her alarm go off over and over again. Such an annoying sound. >.<

She rushes to get ready for class a lot of days. Hell, she is still in bed when she has class in half an hour. My old roommate would either get up when my alarm went off or set her own a bit earlier since she was student teaching and had to be out of the door REALLY early.
