I don’t use my snooze bar on my alarm clock. Being a lazy man, and a creature of habit, if I started using the snooze bar, I’d never get up.
Unless I had a Clocky, that is. Hit the snooze bar on it, and it will roll away and hide someplace in the room.
Gads. Just what I need — an alarm clock that acts like a four-year-old.

I read about this today too, and thought it sounded kind of endearing 😉
Another alarm clock, that’s probably as effective but sounds drastically more annoying, has a four-part ‘off’ button in the form of a jigsaw puzzle. When it goes off, the button is fired into the air, so you’d have to a) find all the pieces (Down the back of the bed? Swallowed by a startled cat? In yesterday’s discarded sock?), b) assemble the jigsaw, and c) reattach the button to the clock, all before it’ll stop ringing. Every single morning.
I have an alarm clock now that requires the pushing of three buttons (well, I could probably get by with one button, but it would reset it automatically for the next morning, which is *not* what I want). That’s confusing enough.
I could NEVER use that! I do 10 sit-ups EVERY morning. I mean, well, ya can only hit that snooze bar so many times.
I hate snooze alarms! I had a roommate who would use his repeatedly. He had to get up about four hours before I did, and for a half hour each morning, his snooze alarm would wake me up every six minutes before he finally got up. Why not just set the alarm a half hour later and get 30 minutes of uninterrupted sleep?
Yup.
When I was in college, I had a wind-up alarm, a kind with bells to wake the dead. No snooze on that, and it’s a habit I’ve stuck with.
Of course, over the course of the two years I had it, I’d managed to slam it off hard enough to require its replacement.
