Snooze button
I hate the snooze button on alarms. Whoever invented it must not have been in their right mind.
Every morning, my husbands’ alarm goes off at 4:30am. He’s not a morning person, so of course he must hit the snooze button at least ten times before getting out of bed. I AM a morning person so as soon as his alarm goes off, I’m awake. I don’t actually have to wake up until 6:30am, but because once I’m awake, I’m AWAKE, I am forced to get up when my husband’s alarm goes off.
Today I swear, he laid in bed until 5am and of course our cat Phyre was on the bed meowing and meowing, telling his daddy to get out of bed! I told my husband it just isn’t fair that I have to wake up two hours before my set time, just because HE wants to hit snooze. I never got back to sleep this morning, so I am SO freaking tired right now. Yuck. The coffee isnt working, and I’m still at work for seven more hours. I could cry!
They should invent a limit on snooze buttons… like make them stop working after you hit them 3 times. That would be ideal. Plus most snooze buttons postpone the alarm for nine minutes, but my husband’s phone alarm only does it for five minutes, I believe. So I think there should be a 15 minute rule. No more snoozes after 15 minutes. What do you think?
