Very late (or early) Huddle Debate: To snooze or not to snooze?

[pstall]

Snooze button or not? I fall prey to this time consuming gremlin almost daily.

Go

[cookinwithgas]

I tell myself what time I need to be up the next day before I go to sleep and always wake up within 10 or 15 minutes of my goal. I've set alarms but maybe only needed them once or twice out of every 10 attempts. It seems like a weird ability but a lot of other people have told me they can do the same thing.

I'm almost always awake before my alarm but i want to make myself feel i got more but really does no good. Lol

I haven't set an alarm in years unless it involves something like catching a plane.  I'm lucky enough to have a job that I don't have to be there at a specific time.  Most mornings I arrive around 7am so no one says anything if I sleep in one day a week and show up at 9am.

When school starts i will have to have my youngest at high school by 710. So i will be bright eyed at 6. Maybe that's why im sandbagging now. I know that goes away fast.

I can't sleep much past 6:30, regardless of the day of the week. 

I can't sleep during the day- a nap makes me feel worse than I did before.

If I'm not awake long before the alarm goes off, I'm up a few minutes before it goes off.

Us too, it's going to be a shock to my stepson who has had more of a 9AM start time his entire school career to this point.

Exact same thing here....I can wake up at any point during the night and know within about 10 minutes what time it is without looking at the alarm.

 

Alarm probably wakes me up 10 times per year, and I set it every work night.

My snooze button gets hit on more than a female huddler.

I used to be like this.

But now? I set alarms to go off at 4 (sometimes 5 spending on if it's earlier than usual) times. I will hit snooze while still in REM sleep. An actual alarm clock is almost useless because I'll cut it off in my sleep. It seems the only time it wakes me up is when I can't find the button. Even then, I'm not fully awake.

No. If you need an alarm, set it for when you MUST get out of bed. And get out of bed.

[stirs]

I find no redeeming qualities in a snooze button.

I want to stay asleep for as long as possible.  The heck with getting woke up every 10 minutes for my last hour of sleep

But, like ABH, I seldom need one anyway

Same here. 

When I need to be somewhere it's like a have my own mental clock. No alarm clock needed.
