Alam clock goes off...you look at the clock and think....5 more minutes.SNOOZE. My husband has to leave for work one hour before he is supposed to be there.But every morninghe hits than snooze button at least 5 times. When he does fially get up he has to rush to get out the door.

I was just wondering how many of us hit that snooze button and how many times.Or are you the type that gets up as soon as the alarm goes off?Let me know howmany of you jump up and how many snooze. We'll make a poll out of it.

I have a bad habit of pressing the snooze as many times as I can before I would be late... So I put the alarm about 30 minutes before I really have to wake up. But there really is a reason for that. I can press snooze 6 times in 30 minutes so I wake up 6 times. It's a lot easier to jump off the bed when you have already woke up six times than if you wake for the first time...

My husbands alarm clock is set 15 minutes ahead. I think its funny that someone else also does that. Thanks for sharing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. lronMaiden (499)  1 year ago

I can relate with you our alarm always set 30 min before wake up time just to have an extra! I'm keen to wake up on the first alarm and I will leave it besides my husband! My husband has this habbit pressing the snooze for 3 times before getting up in the bed, but thankfully I dont have to go back in the room to wake him up.

My husband is my alarm.Everytime the clock buzzes I hear him."oh man not again" That is when I get up. I think it is funny.Thanks for your response.

Yeah me too. My alarm is pointless this way. lol I set the alarm for 5:27am. I hit snooze every time the sound goes off. The interval is about 10 minutes. Guess what time I get to get out of bed? 6:39am. shockedlol The good news is my clock is about 18 minutes advance than the clock at work.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jessbowers (166)   ranked 360 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

At least when you do fially get up you know you have plenty of time to get ready and head off to work. Thanks for your response.

I don't have an alarm clock - mine was broken when I swept it off the side table, trying to stop the ringer.

Now I use my mobile phone to wake me up....the wake-up song is 'Wake Me Up before you go go' (Wham). I'd hear it, but refuse to wake up until it plays for maybe 3 or 4 rounds...!lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jessbowers (166)   ranked 360 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

I think the snooze button is on the alarm clocks to avoid them being broke.LOL.At least you are less likely to throw your cell phone.Thanks for your response.

If I have to really get up in the morning at a certain time, I will try my best to jump out of bed, because I'm so afraid that I might fall back to sleep and wake up late. It ever happened to me and my hubby. We both fell back to sleep and both of us did not hit the snooze button. We were almost late. it was a bad start to the morning. So at the most, 1 snooze for me.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jessbowers (166)   ranked 360 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

Better to be almost late than actually late.I wish I could just jump right up and get the day started.Thanks for our response.

Hi there Jessbowers!

Well, when my alarm clock goes off, I would normally wake up but not get out of bed immediately. There are times that I would give myself few more minutes and set my alarm again. After that, I would get up. I have the tendency to oversleep that's why I can't afford to keep hitting on that snooze button. Otherwise, I might get late.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jessbowers (166)   ranked 360 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

If I were to just lay in the bed I would definately fall back to sleep. I wouldn't be late for anything but my girls would get real upset if they wereour response late for school.Thanks for your response.

i used to do it alot when i was working, now that i am on sick leave, i just naturally wake up at that time, but knowing i dont have to worry about going to work really helps! i like to lay in bed and hear the 7 am news and if the radio comes on before that, i will snooze it...at least once!


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jessbowers (166)   ranked 360 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

My husband hates the fact that he can hardly get up when he is supposed to but wakes up at least 5 minutes before the clock would alarm on the weekends.Thanks for the response.

i love the snooze button hhahaha.. i always hit it few times and its quite funny how we do think a few minutes extra in bed is going to make so much difference lol
i will actually set my alarm 15 minutes before i actually need to get up, just so i can hit that snooze button lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jessbowers (166)   ranked 360 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

I have come to realize that iou tend to feel much f you just get up the first time you feel better than if you stay in the bed and try to get those few extra minutes of snooze time.Thanks for the response.

I used to be horrible. I am still not a morning person but the trick is to find a way that works for you. This way you still get up feeling rested, and at the same time you're not an enemy to anyone who you come across when you first wake up. I used to hit it so many times and would also result in being late for work or school at times. My solution was no matter what time I had to be up, I would set my alarm for 30 min before. When you hit the snooze, you feel like you're gaining that extra time when in reality you're tricking your body into taking the same amount of time. Before you know it you're body will get used to waking up at the time you are supposed to be getting up and you won't feel like you're cheating your body. There are also ways to fix up your room so that you get a better night sleep. There are certain foods and drinks to avoid before bed so that you don't stay up later than you should. Certain ones that include caffeine and are high in sugar or carbs. Also make sure that where you sleep you have the temperature at a mid point. Having it too hot can create a hibernation feeling and having it too cool may make you want to curl under your covers for a bit longer.

Most of the time I get up to turn the alarm off, but only because my alarm is across the room, and to turn it off I have to get up anyway. I figure why get up and walk all the way across the room to the alarm clock just to hit the snooze button, and then have to get up again not even 5 minutes later and do the same thing?


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jessbowers (166)   ranked 360 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

I think it is funny that you have to walk across the room because my husband tried that once. He was the one to get back in the bed and have to get up to hit snooze again and again.Thank you for your response.


myLot reputation of 44/100. cjmobxnc (132)  1 year ago

When I was younger, I had my alarm clock right next to my bed, and every time I would set it to go off, I would end up hitting the snooze button. Was late for school one too many times and had to go to ISS for 3 days, that's when I moved it across the room, and have had no problems with being late.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jessbowers (166)   ranked 360 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

When my husband put his on the other side of the room he still hit snooze and came back to bed.Thanks for the response.
