Theroadlesstravelled Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 She gets up at 8am for work but recently has changed her alarm for 6am. 2 hours of snoozing the alarm. This morning I was fully awake by the second snooze and went on my phone. “Can you put you’re phone away? It’s too bright and I can’t sleep.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK Hibee Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 So final day of the Chinese NY holiday here and we are invited over to a friend of my Mrs for some drinks and food. Friend lives out in the sticks so we are driving and I am designated driver - no issue except when we are there the Mrs barely has any. When I suggest that maybe she could drive home she tells me she will have a couple of glasses later - does she? Does she f*ck. every time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarm starts at 5am, and goes off and on constantly until about five minutes before he leaves the house at 8am, then there's a flurry of activity before leaving the house late, complaining about being tired.

Alarm set 2 hours before they wanted to get up, and complained constantly about being tired. Wound me right up, and I’m someone who does use the snooze button a couple of times in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people need to be put on a couple of months of 3am starts , will knock that habit right out of them ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I use the snooze but two hours before is mental. I usually hit the snooze twice at 8 minutes each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Id always juat assumed the snooze button was some sort of quirk, like it HAS to be on there or you cant call it an alarm clock. Not for one second did I ever think its use was commonplace among functioning adults, far less folk who share a bed, but not a getting up time with someone else. Cant think of anything more selfish than denying sleep..... Genuinely, someone waking me out a sleep for no good reason has been my peak heads gone kryptonite basically all my life. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tourette Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I only use the snooze if I don’t really have to get up, like on a weekend or a day off. To get up for work, I’d always assumed the correct procedure is to set the alarm for when you want to get up, and get up when the alarm goes off, thus ensuring the maximum amount of unbroken sleep. Maybe I’m missing something? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
