do you often push the snooze button in your alarm clock?

alarm clock - An alarm clock is a clock that can be set to sound a bell or buzzer at a desired hour. The primary use of these clocks is to awaken people from their sleep in order to start their days in the mornings, but they are sometimes used for other reminders as well. To stop the sound, a button or handle on the clock needs to be pressed, and some stop automatically after a few minutes if left unattended. A classical analog alarm clock has an extra "hand" that is used to specify the time at which to activate the alarm.

Everytime I set the alarm, I always set it 1 hour before my desired time to wake up. This is because when the alarm rings, i usually turn it off or push the snooze button and then go back to sleep. after the third alarm (oftentimes fourth or fifth hehe) that's the time i rise up. =)

I actually don't even use an alarm clock. I have programmed myself to wake up at the same time everyday. It has been years since I have had to use an alarm clock.

Yes it's nice except when it 'breaks'. I was supposed to pick my wife up at the airport at midnight one night and decided (my body decided) to take a snooze. She called me as soon as the plane landed asking if I was waiting for her. I told her I was almost there (though I had never left the house) and an hour later she knew what had happened.

I usually don't use an alarm clock as I tend to wake up on my own without many problems. But, when I do stay up really late and have to set an alarm, I tend to hit snooze 5 or 6 times before I actually get up. I think I do this because I have stayed up late and only get 4 or 5 hours of sleep on nights like that.

I used to be terrible about pushing the snooze button. I found after a while though that I would lose track and ended up sometimes sleeping longer than I intended. I try not to push it at all anymore, although I still will hit it once in a while.

I have such a hard time waking up, so I tend to hit the snooze button a few times. Check out this alarm clock, it shakes your bed! Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker (http://www.laptoplogic.com/news/detail.php?id=2062)

I'm like you. I set my alarm 20 minutes before I need to get up and then I get to push the snooze button about 3 times. It is still very hard for me to get up after that though! Lol. I just simply don't get enough sleep!

Nope, I never hit the snooze button. I set my alarm for the time when I need to get up, and get out of bed when it goes off. I've found that when I'm half asleep, I'm likely to hit the wrong button, and end up turning off the alarm rather than just hitting snooze!
