I'll be back in 5 minutes to answer.On average, how many times are you hitting the snooze button before you finally get out of bed?
My wife is one of these. Will hit snooze for 30 minutes.Will never understand the snooze hitters (dated several and it drove me nuts). I want to maximize as much quality sleep as I can, so I’m setting one alarm for as late as possible.
Ugh. Why??Usually 3 in 10 minute intervals
so alarm might go off at 6, snooze till 630
Ugh. Why??
I take it you’re also into S and M?
just kind of always done if this way. Sometimes it’s only once or twice, or the dog decides it needs to go out mid snooze and then I’m up
ive tried the get right up routine, I just don’t like it
This is ,meUsually 3 in 10 minute intervals

I like to ease into the day, don't like just popping out of bed...... unless I'm late.Ugh. Why??
We could never be friends. IF YOU KNOW THE CLOCK IS FAST, JUST SET IT CORRECTLY AND ACT ACCORDINGLY!!!I like to ease into the day, don't like just popping out of bed...... unless I'm late.
ETA: I also have my clock set 23 mins ahead. Not 22, not 24. 23.

You are literally the worst.
This morning, I fell back asleep with the radio on, woke up panicked that I was late for my meeting. Looked at the clock it said 8:00.... I was like whew It's only 7:36, I have 24 minutes.
How many hours of consecutive, solid sleep do you get then?I like to ease into the day, don't like just popping out of bed...... unless I'm late.

So weird.

She's right., I don't know..... I have always done that. My wife thinks I'm nuts
I'm a snoozer - I get 8-9 hours a night.How many hours of consecutive, solid sleep do you get then?
This sort of half-asleep/knowing an alarm is going off shortly nonsense just seems like a total waste of time for me.
Knowing exactly how fast the clock is defeats the purpose. In that case you might as well just set the proper time. Now the shark move is to have your wife/kids randomly set the clock ahead some amount but a time you don't know. Then you have to treat the time as basically correct (it could be one minute, it could be 15 minutes) and that way you are always a bit early for wherever you are going.I like to ease into the day, don't like just popping out of bed...... unless I'm late.

This is somewhat understandable to me. There's a least a method to the madness (I get the idea of needing a few moments to wake up and fear of falling back asleep) and you're only spending about 10 minutes on it.I am a one snoozer guy. This is more because the alarm goes off and I hit snooze. I then slowly come out of sleep mode giving myself about 10 minutes to get my bearings. More often than not I get up before it goes off again and just turn it off. It's a way to ease into the day. I used to be a no snoozer but a couple times I turned the alarm off and did the slow rise and fell back asleep. Ever since then I just hit the snooze and that way if I stay in a haze I get the reminder to get up. Then I just turn it off and get up.
My wife did this as well as setting an alarm an hour early and just hitting snooze 10 times. The time change did not even work, she would just add back the time, and the snooze thing would make me up super early while she slept through it. The worst.

Exactly this for me. Always hit snooze once as "insurance" in case I nod off while easing into the day.I am a one snoozer guy. This is more because the alarm goes off and I hit snooze.

My dad always had his alarm clock set 2 hours ahead. I think it was a mental thing because he got up between 3:30-4:00 AM for 50 years. "Oh, it's 5:30. Time to get up and go to work." My mom had hers set at some random time ahead also.I like to ease into the day, don't like just popping out of bed...... unless I'm late.

Yeah, dating a snoozer is the worst well maybe not as bad as a woman who snores but both equallyZow said:Will never understand the snooze hitters (dated several and it drove me nuts). I want to maximize as much quality sleep as I can, so I’m setting one alarm for as late as possible.
#### you and your snooze! Eat these schillings, NERD!DaVinci said:Most days I wake up before the alarm goes off.
I don’t get the snooze hitters. Set the time for when you need to get up, and then get up when the alarm goes off. If you can sleep for another 30 minutes, why interrupt your rest every 10 minutes? It’s especially egregious when you share the bedroom with someone who doesn’t need to get up. I briefly had a roommate in college who liked to repeatedly hit snooze. I kept a jar of pennies at the head of my bed. Starting with the second morning, I threw a handful of pennies at him every time his alarm went off after the first. He changed rooms a couple weeks into the semester.
If I'm lucky 4hrs uninterrupted, but rarelyZow said:How many hours of consecutive, solid sleep do you get then?

I see what you did there
1. Wake up
2. Fall out of bed
3. Drag a comb across my head
4. Find my way downstairs and drink a cup
This. I'm a 2 timer snoozer so 14 minutes. I like a slow transition to waking up.Mr.Pack said:I like to ease into the day, don't like just popping out of bed...... unless I'm late.

I rarely if ever take a nap. Just can't do itI wonder if their is a connection between those that hit the snooze and those who like to nap?
I'd bet there is.
Having an actual clock is the weird thing to me. I use a phone and hope the Apple or Android gods don’t fall asleep at the time wheel.So weird.
I assume most of us do. However, phone alarms have a stupid snooze button too.Having an actual clock is the weird thing to me. I use a phone and hope the Apple or Android gods don’t fall asleep at the time wheel.
