Some of us wake up and think, "do I want to leave work at 4 or 5 today?"
Not a growing up thing for everyone. Mine isn't a snooze situation. I turn off alarm 1 and wait for alarm 2. 45 min later.
That 45 min nap after waking up can make a big difference for me.

To get up at 6:30 the Gfs alarm starts going off at 5:30, many, many arguments.

If you solve this problem, there should be some kind of Man of the Millineum award

Some people don't get that the rest of the world isn't necessarily like them. Everyone knows people are different but some just don't understand how that's possible. It's okay to admit you're one of those people.

My wife does it to tire me out so that I'm primed to do her bidding.

I set two alarms. One at 5:30 and one at 6am.
If I just set one, I would be in danger of sleeping through it. I'm just a hard sleeper. Always been.
Snooze alarms I find annoying, because they go off too frequently, and I don't want to wake up annoyed.
So I set a 5:30 "heads up" alarm, then I peacefully wake at the first chirp of the alarm at 6am. It's like a 30 minute snooze alarm. It fits me.

The only day I might do this is Mondays. I set one for 5 this morning, rolled over and set another for 530

I set two because I can end up sleeping through them.
Once I'm out, I'm out. I've had the alarm go off for an hour before I've woken up. Slept through a hurricane once where a tree fell on the house and broke through the window.

I used to have this problem until the "Bedtime" feature came out with the latest iOS update. For whatever reason, that bedtime alarm can wake me up peacefully and I always get out of bed feeling refreshed.

I used to get up with my first alarm. Just recently have I had to set two because I don't believe in the snooze. Just like someone else said. Delaying the inevitable work day. I woke up today and thought it was Sunday. Very fricking disappointing. Currently dropping some turds at the office about to pay a few bills. frick Monday's

I set two alarms, one ten minutes before I need to get up and one when I need to get up. When I wake up I am move really slow and don't function well at all so I wake up and ease into getting up. I could set one alarm, but I'd have to get up earlier because of how slow I would be moving so by setting an extra a get more rest.

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.

I set two alarms every AM. They are 10 minutes apart. It is something about having that first alarm goes off and realizing that I have another 10 minutes left to sleep that brings such joy to me every morning.

Lol. That is a stupidly broad brush you have there.

I don't understand it either. Just grow the frick up and get out of bed. You should be used to it by now. If you're that tired go to bed earlier.

I set my first alarm over an hour before my second alarm so I can get that great feeling of knowing I can sleep for another hour.

People are different. I wake up 5 minutes before my alarm almost every day. My wife gets up early to take the kids to school after a 10 minute snooze. I don't begrudge her that because she gets up and busts arse all day so whatever

"A string of constant bitching and kicking her out of the bed when her first alarm goes off. I would also ask her what time she needed to get up and when her alarm was set for at night before bed. "
I swear, almost all of our arguments were either about alarm clocks or what to eat for dinner.
I solved my husbands constant bitching about my alarm clock by quiting my job and sleeping in.

Waking up is the worst part of my day, why the frick would I want to do it 7 times?
Posted on 6/19/17 at 9:00 am to 4cubbies
I hit snooze 6 times this morning.
10/10 would do it again
