    I usually have a harder time getting to sleep rather than waking up. I often lay in bed for 30-60 minutes before I fall asleep and if I wake up in the middle of the night for whatever reason it can be a real chore getting back to sleep.

    I hit snooze on average 3-5 times. My wife hates it too.

    No matter how hard I've tried, I'm not a morning person. I really thought that would change when I had a kid.

    I don't need an alarm clock normally. I am up before the sun and plenty of time to get going for work. If I have to get up earlier for a trip or something out of the ordinary, I use my phone and never use the snooze feature. I like to get up and get going as soon as I wake.

    If I pulled Hooker's stunt every morning, my wife would have me killed.

    The snooze people are beginning to catch up. Looks like they are beginning to get up.

    I am guessing a direct correlation between snooze users and supporting the legalization of pot. Just sayin. :evilgrin:

    :lol:

    I value sleep. I hate waking up. I'll squeeze every ounce of sleep I can get out of each morning.

    The wife can suck it. She sleeps till 9 am every morning.

    No snooze for me. Same routine every morning. The alarm goes off, a Lab's tail begins thumping the side of the bed as she makes her way from her bed over to mine, two paws appear on the edge of my bed and then a shove in the shoulder by a cold nose. She goes out to go potty and I take a dump.

    I'm a morning person so I never have to hit the snooze.

    I either wake up before the alarm or get up after the fifth alarm goes off.

    My cell phone alarm is set for 12:10am and 12:20 am....I have the coffee pot starting at 12:09am. I used to pop right up and at'em when the first alarm went off, but since I started using a cpap machine for sleep apnea, It is so hard for me to wake up, so it depends, sometimes i'm up with the first alarm sometimes the second!!

    I rarely hit the snooze. And most times when I do its just cause that's the quickest way to shut the alarm off, then I get up within a couple minutes. Now I set my phone to a 3 minute snooze and most days it never gets a chance to go off.

    It all depends on how well I slept the night before and if a damn storm front is rolling in... my secret superpower is that I'm a human barometer.

    Some times I turn it off and get up, or I could hit it 3 or 4 times and the wife gets mad.... or like this morning I was up and tossing and turning from around 0300 so I just got up at 0430 when my alarm is set for 0500.

    Damn fibromyalgia...

    I would give anything to be able to sleep for just 6 hours straight. Looking forward to the time when I have to get up to pee 3 times a night. I wake up long before the alarm if my back pain does not wake me up the hip or the shoulder do.

    The boss is exactly like that and that is his wake up time too. It sucks cause it just gives him more time to come up with crazy ideas for us to do at work.

    My snooze button is broke on my alarm clock. They just don't make them tough like they used to take the beating they get when it goes off.

    So no I don't use it. Wife hated it anyways so she won't buy me a new one.
