      Ah the snooze game...

      For some reason I've abandoned the traditional snooze feature on my phone.
      Now after the first alarm goes off I switch to my timer and set it to varying intervals after each alarm. 10 minutes, 8 minutes, 8 minutes, 5 minutes...

      It's amazing how quickly I can grab my phone, reset the timer and be asleep again...

      It's also amazing how 5 minutes can feel like an hour...

      But seriously, what kind of ridiculous game am I playing here?

      Wow. You really carried it to the next level, haven't you?
      I 've read somewhere that snoozing is bad for the quality of your sleep...

      I think I'll call it 'Extreme Snoozing!!' and say it with a giant reverb to make it sound epic. I know that last hour of sleep is all busted, but there's something very satisfying about telling the world to &#$^ off for a few more minutes. Waking up is the most difficult thing I have to do on a daily basis.

      I have the same type of problem. Sometimes on the weekend when I'm determined to wake up early, I hit snooze for a long time, 0.5-2 hours before waking up. Then on weekdays, I almost always hit it 1 or 2 times, until I absolutely have to get up. For years I didn't know what the huge snooze button on my alarm clock did, and would always reset it the normal way. Even once I figured out what the button was for, I was so used to resetting it normally that I couldn't get into the habit of using it.

      I've always found it funny that alarm clock companies have recognized this strange urge people get to reset their alarm clocks for a few minutes in the morning, and have actually added a button for it. It doesn't seem like the type of thing there should be a button for, but I guess the fact that there is shows how common the need to 'sleep just for a few more minutes' is.

      Fortunately, I don't use the snooze button. o-o
      As soon as you wake up, roll to the floor without blankets.
