    I don't revolve my life around what time I have to wake up. I do what wants being done the night before and then when I'm ready I go to bed. Sometimes there's no limit before I have to wake up and others I'll have to be up in three hours. If I need to set an alarm my snooze button gets a promise that it'll be abused.

    As many times as I can get away with. But recently I set it such that I can only snooze twice then I'm late for work.

    I really need to do this. "Getting 5-6 hrs. of sleep isn't cutting it," I keep telling myself, but I just can't make myself go to bed before 11.
    Me too. Heck, I can't make myself go before midnight.
    Part of me knows that my quality of life would be far better if I slept properly. There are so many things I never do (for example, applying to better jobs) because I never have any energy and basically spend the day wanting to be in bed. But a stronger part of me hates spending half my life asleep. Suppose I live to be 70, sleeping an extra hour every day loses me over 25000 hours of my life that I'll never get back. That's a lot of TV shows / FF playthroughs / etc. It's probably not worth it, but I can't get it through that thick part of my head.

    Alarm to help Danielle start waking up. Snooze for 10 minutes. Then nudge her to ensure she's awake. Snooze for 10 minutes. Actually force her to get out of bed. Turn off that alarm. 40 minutes later, alarm to get me awake. Snooze for 10 minutes. Then either get out of bed or wait 10 more minutes if I'm really tired, but after that extra time I get out of bed. Keep snoozing for 10 minutes until I get out of the flat, because it helps me keep track of the time in the morning as I can get distracted by sites like EoFF.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    I never use it, but I set about 4 different alarms spaced 15 minutes - 30 minutes apart, so it's kind of like a snooze button that I have programmed in myself!

    I don't currently use an alarm clock in my carefree scrounging skiver's lifestyle (skytv 24/7 whatup cameron) but when I do yeah I'm a big abuser of the snooze button because waking up is terrible.

    I don't use it. I chose the most annoying setting for my clock and it's away from my bed so I have to get up.

    I don't use it. I don't have my alarm clock within reaching distance, so I have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. Besides I set it like 7-8 minutes before I have to leave, which is just enough time to throw clothes on and comb hair. I can't stand showering right when I get up, lol, I do it the night before.

    I abuse it intentionally. I set it for ten minute intervals, and set my alarm for twenty minutes before I actually need to be aware of my surroundings.

    I never use the snooze button. It's the enemy as far as I am concerned. I simply set one alarm for when I have to get up and immediately drag my sorry ass in to the shower when that goes off.

    Sometimes, my alarm won't wake me up though which is a problem so if I think I may have trouble waking I'll set a backup alarm.
