How many times do you hit

[Greedo]

the snooze button on your alarm in the morning before getting out your pit.



I'm a 2 snoozer. Set the alarm for 6.45, snooze it twice till 7.05 then Mrs G gets up and I lie listening to the radio till after the 7.30 news then jump in the shower.

Normally none, I get up when it first goes off. It always seems a waste of good, solid sleeping time to be disturbed every 10 minutes - why not just set it for later and sleep until then?

About thirty.

My snooze button reduces time between each snooze, so it goes 10min, 5 min, 3 min, etc. so by the thrid snooze you either get up or turn it off altogether.

Because there's nothing like a morning bit of fun If I set it for the right time then there would be no chance of that!

 

[Aperitif]

Twice if need be.
05:15 - but often I am prowling around by then and the alarm (on my phone) makes me jump, often when I am digesting Cyclechattery!

Granted, an excellent reason.

So, is 10 minutes enough or do you have to keep on pausing to hit snooze to get another 10 minutes?

 

[BrumJim]

None.

Problem was that I was never awake enough on the first alarm to work out if I was awake or not. So I turned the alarm off thinking that I was fully awake, and then fell asleep again.

I now listen to 30 minutes of Radio 5 live before I can finally face the world. And another hour or two before I reach fully functional, unless I cycle in.

Why is it that it takes me this long to go from asleep to up and functioning?

Once... switch alarm off (it's my mobile), and I'm up and outta there...

I am one of those lucky people who doesn't need an alarm.
Seem to wake up at 7am on the dot every day... including bleedin' weekends when I need a good lie in...

I am a bit sad. I get up at the 1st buzzer, manage to shave and shower before the 2nd buzzer, get my breakfast and then pop back into bed to eat my cereal and allow 2 more buzzers before I actually get up and get dressed.

no such thing as snooze on my alarm, hence why i have 6 alarms, and set my TV to turn on inbetween the first and the second at 50% volume. I still slept in this morning.

 

[Gromit]

0 never I'm always awake before it goes off.

 

[potsy]

Phone alarm goes off 1st-snooze that 10 mins.
Then radio alarm snooze that for 5 mins.
Then I think shall I get up now or have another 20 mins and take the car? Luckily the car option never wins
Usually up for 6.15am out of house at 6.45am

Just do it twice during each snooze

 

[Aperitif]

Up at 6 every week-day morning on the dot!
Up at 8 at weekends.

Oh. So the "...sorry everyone, I had a puncture..." excuse was just a load of baloney then Crock?
