Why does my alarm clock always go off when I'm the most comfortable. I hate that!
Anyone else here like to hit the snooze button 3 or 4 times?

Hiya!,
I have to set at least two alarm clocks in order to get up...and they have to be out of reach. If in reach, I will unknowingly shut them off and return to sleep.

I have had two alarms with in the last year. My old one got so bashed up the face was broken and the snooze button would stick keeping the alarm from going off. I got a new one and the led was so bright I ended up pitching it out the window. My new one has a dimmer on the led and a normal loud switch on the buzzer. It is next next to my head and I still have to set in an hour early in order to get up on time.

Have no idea. I haven't set an alarm clock in 15 years. It must be for you young folks.

so when your girlfriend tries to wake you up in the morning do you punch her in the face?

I set up 2 alarms, so I HAVE to get out of bed to turn them off, otherwise I'll sleep in and be late.

One wierd thing I've noticed is that the sound of a clock is very important to me. If I change clocks, and the alarm sound is different, it won't wake me up.....almost like the sound is build into my subconcious, and it wakes me up because I know the sound means wake up.
I never sleep in quiet....I hate quiet, but even if my clock has less decibals than the sound going on....it wakes me from memory or something. Everytime I buy a new clock.....it won't wake me up very well until I get used to it......strange I think. I have even had new clock alarms enter my dreams, but not wake me up....one time I was dreaming, and the dream was me trying to figure out where this sound was coming from.
On a side note......it seems the sounds around me always get in my dreams....I sleep with the bedroom TV on ALWAYS because I like sound when I sleep.........whatever show is on often enters my dreams, so with this is mind.....It makes sense why a new clock with a different sound doesn't wake me up.....it just enters into my mind and dreams instead.
I can sleep through a war, a flood, and a marching band outside playing for a guy mowing his grass, but my alarm clock's sound is burned into my brain, and always instantly wakes me.....I do hit snooze a few times, but it wakes me every time even if other sounds don't that are MUCH louder......strange I think.

I can't risk hitting the snooze button! I'll fall back asleep, forget I ever woke up, and somehow turn the alarm clock off in my sleep-never realizing it. Oh well, when the alarm goes off... I hop out of bed.

Errrg! you have hit a really sore subject for me!! My wonderful husband, hits the snooze button for and HOUR! before he gets up everymorning, Now I on the other hand have been up multiple times during the night due to a screaming baby or the same wonderful husbands grizzly like snoring. So forgive me if I would like that extra hour of sleep. Drives me crazy if you didn't notice. For those of you who hit the snooze a million times and are not attached, do your future spouse a favor and learn to get up when the alarm goes off the first time!! It is nothing but lazyness IMO.
