When you set an alarm to wake up, do you regularly use the snooze button?

This is my wife, setting the alarm way earlier than when she actually intends to get out of bed and hitting the snooze repeatedly. Makes no sense to me, but I guess since she's back to snoring 5 seconds after hitting snooze it's okay for her, and luckily I'm usually up already or it would be super annoying.set the alarm for like 7am for an 8am
My freshman year roommate would hit the snooze for an hour after the initial alarm would go off - it drove me crazy,Trying really hard to break that habit before boy #1 goes off to college next August.
i broke my habit by putting my alarm clock now phone - somewhere i have to get up to turn offMy wife, however, is a snooze button weirdo. And consequently so are my two boys.

They do, but it's illegal to hit that snooze button in all 50 states.Had a roommate in college that would set the alarm for like 7am for an 8am class. He'd hit the snooze button every 9 minutes or whatever it was until he'd leave for class at 7:55 or whatever (if he'd even go). He said he had a hard time waking up. I tried explaining you'd get more and better sleep if you'd just set the alarm for 7:45 and get your butt moving, but that was too difficult for him. Not that I'm still bitter or anything...
I have young kids. They are my alarm and they don't have a snooze button. But no, I don't use snooze on the rare circumstance I need to set an alarm.
I can relate so much to all of this. My college roommate, who remains a good friend, was my roommate for all four years of college (senior year we had individual rooms right next to each other). But, it was quite the change for me because he was a "go to bed with the TV on and leave it on all night" guy as well as "hit the snooze like 5 ****ing times" guy. In contrast, I went to college as somebody who only ever slept in total darkness with no noise and woke up on the first alarm. So, yeah, my sleep my freshman year was not all that great. What compounded it was that his alarm was church bells and our senior year dorm was very near the college's bell tower so between 7:00 and 8:00 AM I would hear church bell chimes like 6 times. I still have a negative reaction to hearing church bells.Had a roommate in college that would set the alarm for like 7am for an 8am class.

Ok Kramer......just don't fall asleep in a hot tub. It will throw your internal clock off.No. I'm one of those people who just wakes up at whatever time I told myself I was supposed to wake up before I went to bed.
Put his alarm clock on the other side of the room so he has to get up to turn it off (or hit snooze).My wife, however, is a snooze button weirdo. And consequently so are my two boys.

Hint: you still get that "extra" sleep by merely setting the alarm for the actual time you need to be awake.There is nothing more glorious than that extra 10 minutes of sleep. I even hit snooze on mornings where I've had adequate sleep. I slept 9 hours last night and still hit snooze 3 times this morning.
no - used too a long time ago ..... i get up pretty much without an alarm but have one set for the 5:30 I have to get up - usually im up at 4 then fall back to sleep so need the alarm
My wife is a hits snoozer and it drives me nuts
I mean of course not .... I'm not some snoozing weirdo
No. I'm one of those people who just wakes up at whatever time I told myself I was supposed to wake up before I went to bed.
So she never gets up? Like Charlie Bucket's grandparents?No snooze, often wake up before the alarm.
Wife snoozes incessantly. We've been married over 20 years. I learned long ago to never mention the snooze button that she abuses and to just get up and out of her f-ing way in the morning.
My alarm is a clock radio gift I got in 1976. It has 4 buttons (hour, min, time, alarm) and a volume and station knob. The simplicity is beautiful. It goes off, and I get up. What's the point in setting an alarm just to hit the snooze? Set the alarm later.

It's like the people who say - OH MY GOD, WE GET AN EXTRA HOUR OF SLEEP WITH THE TIME CHANGE!!1!!!

Sure, but I have to give up that hour somewhere else. On Fallback Day, the gubmint gives me that hour. For FREE!Hey, don't diss Fallback Day.

Come on man - you can sleep an extra hour any time you want.
Yup same. Although I am kind of a weirdo in that I set one alarm to get my boy up for school so he can eat and get ready, and go back to bed and "snooze" for 30-45 more minutes before I get up, shower, and hit the road (drop him off at school, go to office).I said Yes, but it is becoming less and less frequent.
Ahhh. But I appreciate it so much more when I wake up and think "ah sweet, I can sleep for 10 more minutes".Hint: you still get that "extra" sleep by merely setting the alarm for the actual time you need to be awake.There is nothing more glorious than that extra 10 minutes of sleep.

my wife had a hard time with the snooze button for years. like 5-6 snoozes every day.My wife, however, is a snooze button weirdo. And consequently so are my two boys.

Nice haiku dude. Like the outside the box thinking. Don't be constrained by conventional haiku "rules" man. Do your thing, you're an artist.Ahhh.

But……
When I read this I think to myself how
I want to be a better person. A person who doesn’t judge or get infuriated.
