Whoever invented the snooze button for alarm clocks must have felt very pleased with himself. What a concept! Hit the button and have nine more minutes of sleep before the alarm goes off again. Everyone is going to want this feature on their alarm clock!
As much as I hate the button, I do use it. On occasion. Okay. I set my alarm specifically for 5:51 so I could hit the snooze and get up at 6, feeling like I've got to sleep in.
It's a trick my body does not appreciate. For as soon as I hit snooze, I fall back asleep. Like sound, having dreams, asleep. Nine minutes later I am once again jerked awake by that beeping, and do not feel rested at all.
I tell myself to just jump out of bed. Ignore that easily pushed button that stops that terrible noise. Instead, fumble for the right button to turn the alarm all the way off. Do I do what I tell myself too?
Sometimes. But usually I fall for the old trick of just needing to rest nine minutes more. Snooze....ZZZZZZZZZZZ
And let's not get me started on who made alarm clocks beep in that heart stopping way.
Ugh...I totally agree...my snooze button is the reason I keep getting up at 7:00 instead of 6:00 and getting to work late! :)
ReplyDeleteI asked for an alarm clock for Christmas a few years ago but I'm too lazy to figure out all the buttons! I just know my "snooze button" will make sure I get up before he leaves for work.....
