slo's Wednesday poll 8/9 - The Snooze button

[slo]

This is a new poll for 1-17-07
This is not a poll from August
Hitting the "edit" button isn't allowing me to change the thread title



How many times do you hit the snooze button, on your alarm clock, when you need to wake up?



I hit my snooze button approx. 4 - 5 times every morning. I actually have my clock time set way ahead, so after I hit the snooze button this many times, I get up at the precise time I want The reason why I do this, is because many many mornings I don't hear the alarm the first couple of times.



Poll coming!!!!

So I have an alarm with three different settings. I need to actually be up by 6, so I set one alarm for 5:45, one for 5:50, and one for 5:55. When the last alarm goes off, I REset it for 6.

Ok, reading this, I'm laughing at myself. That's a lot of work for an extra 15 minutes.

I'm normally up anyhow I just hit it to get me out of bed and off the computer.

OT SLO if you hit Edit then the Advance button it should let you edit the title.

I don't have an alarm clock, well I guess I do actually...my DH will tell the cat to 'go wake mommy' and the dumb cat stands on my head or stomach until I get up..now if he had a snooze button!!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

I don't use a snooze button. When the alarm goes off I get up.

 

[Beth76]

I hit it twice. DH sets the alarm for 7am and gets up. I don't need to get up until about 7:15. But I guess it's actually 7:18. Does anyone know why the snooze button is set for 9 minutes? I've always wondered that. Why not 10?

 

[helenabear]

Don't use the snooze button at all here. If I want to sleep that long, I set it for that long. Usually though, I wake up before the alarm goes off anyway.

 

[Tazicket]

I wake up before the alarm goes off. It's really more for DH. He hits the snooze button 3 times before I go in, rip off the covers, and turn on the lights.

 

[T1130]

When I worked full time I used to hit the snooze all the time. But since I had my dd I now have a human alarm clock with no snooze button.

 

[NMAmy]

DH always wakes me up so I don't even use an alarm clock, much less a snooze alarm. Even when I DID have to use an alarm clock, I get up right when the alarm goes off.

 

[DaisyD]

We don't use alarm clocks in my house. Everyone gets up when they know they are supposed to.

What's an alarm clock?

Well, yes, we have one, but rarely use it. It's only for certain occasions when we need to get up really early. My wife is normally up very early and she gets me up if I need to be somewhere, but I'm retired and don't usually go anyplace very early.

 

[minnieandmickeymouse]

I hit the snooze alot, 7-8 times I guess. I am not a morning person at all. My husband is able to get up right at the first alarm.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I've never used it. I just turn off my alarm when it goes off, then I climb back into bed...then I oversleep.

 

[ScorpioJeni]

I'm so not a morning person, I have my alarm set 45 mins ahead of real time and its set to wake me up at 5 am. I generally hit the snooze 7-8 times before I decide that I'm ready to get up. OT but I then proceed to drink a gallon of coffee before I wake the kiddos up.

 

[Pooh67_68]

The alarm clock in on John's side, so I don't deal with it.

 

[Bunchkin]

Never hit the snooze botton here!

I have the alarm set for 2 different times to wake up DH for work. I have to wake him up because he has never been able to wake up to an alarm clock.....well, unless it's volume is on full blast and playing hard rock, but that's no exactly how I like to wake up!!!

DD just got an alarm clock for Christmas, so now she has her own to wake her up in the morning for school.

 

[TheGoofster]

Actually, it's kind of weird. My wife usually gets up before me. So she is the one who deals with the snooze, and she tells me that she hits it three or four times before getting up. The thing is, I never hear it. Even thought the alarm is only a couple of feet from my head, and it is very loud, I never, ever hear it, I sleep right through it.
Twice a week, I do have to get up first. All I use to wake up is my cell phone alarm. It's not very loud, but once it goes off, I am immediately up. I guess our bodies know when to repsond or when to ignore. I totally ignore the louder alarm clock that goes off three of four times every morning, yet get up immediately when my quiter cell phone goes off. Go figure.
