but why 5.47 and not 5.45 or 5.50???
If the snooze alarm sounds after three minutes, she can set the alarm for 5:47, hit the button once, and get up at 5:50?
Because I fight for every minute of sleep I can get in the morning
.
5:50 seems too late, but I do NOT want to wake up at 5:45, lol. "A quarter to six", that sounds much too early. But 5:47 is "shortly before six" - sounds much better, don't you think? Psychology, or how to cheat on yourself
.
And yes, the snooze button is taken into account. It goes off again after 7 minutes, so normally I get up at 5:54. And even if I'm not successful with that, the third time it goes off at 6:01. Then I know I have to jump out of the bed immediately, or else.
With "else" meaning my emergency alarm clock will go off at 6:02. The emergency alarm is at the door, not beside the bed, to make sure I HAVE to get up to shut it off.
But at 6:01 or 6:02 I really have to hurry (and my oldest daughter will growl at me).
Can you guess I have some problems with getting up early?
There are some mornings when I would bet that the normal alarm clock did not go off (let alone three times) and I'm surprised by the emergency alarm.
