Help me understand setting multiple alarms/not getting up with your first alarm

Because people are all different. And as Maurice Chevalier once said, viva la difference (he said that when discussing the difference between men and women, of which I wholeheartedly concur).

In reality, this is primarily because people stay up too late/get up too early so their alarm awakens them from deep sleep, so they have to wake up in stages (which many would technically do on their own if not for abruptly awakening to an alarm clock).

I think back now to a gentleman I used to work with who was part Apache. He told me his grandfather taught him a technique for timing his sleep that involved simply drinking water. X amount of cups of water at bedtime depending on how many hours of sleep before you needed to awaken, then your bladder will wake you up gradually but eventually urgently. Seemed like an interesting yet reasonable idea. I have decided not to try that.

FTR, I am not a snoozer in general. Alarm goes off, I wake up. I do not, however, move about quickly in the AM.
