Everyone does it, you know you do it, sometimes you do it with someone else in the room. You know where to find it and your not afraid to use it. It's made bigger then the other buttons and most of the time it's written in capital letters, "SNOOZE."
So you tell yourself just one more time and you basically give up one more thing you can get away with in the morning without doing. You then think to yourself that your bigger than this and try hard in your half awoken sleep to try to beat the buzzer that you know will come in ten minutes. But to your surprise and depending how dead tired you are you realize that you have pressed the button three times and now your thirty minutes late. You can't help it, it's the only thing you can find on you alarm clock to stop whatever sound is breaking that oh so comfortable silence of sleep. The dreaded snooze button.
A lot of manufacturers make it that way so you can not turn off your alarm because let's face it, if they did made it that way then a lot of us, OK maybe all of us, will not have a job, make doctor's appointment, or even get to the airport. It's a part of our life that without snooze, we would proably developsomething, and we would call it awake rage, or some type of anger issue. The snooze button is a guilty pleasure that most of us indulge into everyday of our life. There are a few of us that have a special abilityto wake up with nothing,at the crack of dawn but we are all not that fortunate. We need it and in some cases, it can be a dangerous drug that alters the path that you take. If your like me, and most are, you have to share your palace of well rest and bountiful dreams with someone and if your like me than you have to go through two, yes two, different sounds to snooze.
Whatever you lifestyle is everyone has one, and throughout the years companies has jazzed it up in many things you can think off. My favorites is on the bottom of a dancing chicken, attached to a phone that also is a radio, that one is great when you have limited space, or on your life source, your cell phone. I believe that the one on your cell phone is the hardest maneuver because if you don't look before you touch you could be calling someone.
No matter how you deal with your beloved snooze button just make sure your not snoozing someone else's.
