QotD: Just Five More Minutes...

What time is your alarm clock set for?  Do you use the snooze button?

Currently, it's 8:06 AM. I did this so that hitting snooze once (a 9-minute snooze interval) brings you to 8:15 AM, which is a nice, even time that I intended to psychologically stimulate me into getting out of bed. So far it hasn't worked, though, and I keep snoozing until about 8:33 AM, when I generally drag myself up. Most of the time. Sometimes I sleep later than that. And yes, I'm supposed to be at work at 9:30, though arriving anywhere in the 9:30 - 10:00 zone is generally acceptable.

I am a constant, inveterate snoozer, and nothing has ever worked to stop it. This is actually the smallest amount of snoozing I've consistently done for a while -- I used to have the alarm set to 7:45 AM and I would consistently snooze over and over for an hour. And before you suggest it, putting the alarm clock across the room doesn't help -- I'll always stretch as far as I can to hit it (my room isn't very big), stand up and hit snooze and fall right back into bed, or half-wakingly move the alarm right back next to my bed so I can keep delaying the inevitable. Uncool.
