Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! $MACK!
Did you hear that? That was the sound of me hitting the Snooze button. It happens about 7 times every morning. By the last time, I barely have enough time to get out the door on time, but yet and still, I do it every single morning.
I think the snooze button might possibly be one of the worst inventions ever.
Do you hit snooze?

I agree. The snooze button is the worst thing around. I never use it, but studies have proven that the five minutes of interrupted sleep is less effective and more harmful than not sleeping at all.

I believe that, but I don't believe it at 430 in the morning, lol.

@RussTeed Yeah, I like that cushion. I call it a pillow.

I set it early so I can hit snooze, lol. Maybe I should stop.

@cindiowens I used to do that, but after much thought, I stopped. I figured that being woken up once, twice, or three times is lost sleep. But, some folks like that cushion to wake up slowly.

Ever hear of the Ruggie alarm clock? It is an alarm clock that is a rug that you place near your bed. The only way to shut if off is to stand on it. LOL. No more snooze!
Ruggie requires users to stand on it to stop alarm.

@cindiowens I was going to get it for my husband. He hits that snooze bar way too much.

The invention ever until there isn't one for awhile. Then you'd be singing a different tune. LOL I am glad that I am retired. Ugh!

@cindiowens ...I was lucky enough to get an early retirement and then got on SSD rather quickly soon after.

Never ever, my thought is I would rather sleep soundly until I have to get up instead of being woke up every 9 minutes or whatever it is.

Mine is five minutes, and each five minutes is like a little piece of heaven to me, lol.

Try to go to sleep just a few minutes earlier at night. Yes, you may end up laying in bed until your actual sleep time, BUT, eventually you will fall asleep that wee bit earlier. It may help, as it has me in the past.
I work third shift, but do set an alarm on the nights I work so that I can be up and about to do things. I prefer to the things I need to before work instead of doing them before bed and then going to sleep and having to essentially wake up, eat and go to work. That makes me nervous / antsy.

@cindiowens I am probably one of very few that actually like the night shift. I might not actually like the work sometimes, but the shift itself is fine.

I have tried that. I still hit the snooze. I am a terrible morning person. Third shift is the worst. My hat is off to ya.

When the alarm goes off I'm up. My son is the one who hits the snooze button. I go in at 7:30 and tell him to get his butt out of bed so I'm not late for work.

@irishidid I have to be at work at 0630. Getting up early is not my thing, but we gotta do it.
