This morning I had the most interesting thought. Where would the world be if alarm clocks did not have the snooze feature? I set my alarm every day for 6:45 when I almost always actually get out of bed at 7:10. 7:10 you ask? Yes 7:10, because in some vain attempt to trick myself every morning I have my clock set 10 minutes fast. Well I guess fast isn't the right word, although a lot of people use that word to describe clocks. I guess to be correct my clock is 10 minutes ahead. But anyways, I never am able to trick my self into thinking that is actually the time that is displayed but fully am aware that it is 10 minutes ahead.
Okay, well that was a pointless tangent, but than again the this whole blog is a pointless tangent. Back to my first thought. So the real question is, why not set my alarm to 7:00 in the first place instead of going through this whole ordeal if I am going to wake up at 7:00 everyday anyways? Well I for one love the snooze feature. Your kind of like in the semi-sleep state and in bed but still somewhat awake so you relish in just how comfortable you are and lament that fact that you have to go to work. It kind of eases me into the day, I guess.
Which brings me to my point, where would the world be if we didn't' have snooze, I know I would be just late to everything in the morning. I mean really, how many people actually get up soon as their alarm goes off? Almost everyone I know uses snooze, we are a society of snooze depended plebeian. If that feature was never invented would everyone one in the world just be late or would the opposite be true? Would everyone be super productive since the just get up soon as their alarm goes off? (Again, this is common terminology, but really if your alarm "goes off" wouldn't that mean that its not really making noise since its off, I guess the right word phrase would be alarm goes on??" haha)
I also find it interested that blogger doesn't NOT have the word "blog" in thier dictionary. I mean really, this is a blog site, and you guys can't even have the word in the dictionary?

If I'm going to snooze, I manually set the damn alarm 30-60 minutes ahead, because honestly, if I'm tired when I wake up, 5 minutes can't begin to remedy the situation.
If I'm not going to snooze and be late, I get up with the alarm. If I'm well-rested, I wake up just before the alarm.
Fin.
