I feel like the snooze button is just dumb (in my opinion) because I constantly snooze and sometimes I snooze so many times, it passes the time I actually needed to get up. I almost wish the snooze button was like a mother.
"Mommmmmm, five more minutes"
"No, you're getting up right now!"
Because usually, that made me get up. Or it involved me getting my blanket ripped off of me so then I basically suffered hypothermia and had to wake up.
Who in the world decided that we needed to get just 10 more minutes of sleep? Those 10 minutes will literally pretty much do nothing for you. And for a lot of that 10 minutes, you're trying to force your body to go back to sleep. It's just a never ending circle of dumb.
Now obviously, I like my snooze button. It's nice and worn down by now. But I only like it because it's pretty much just an extension of my laziness. It does not increase my productivity by any means - it most likely hinders my productivity actually. And I think this is where procrastination starts early. We know we are supposed to do something, but we keep putting off the inevitable until the last minute and then we're rushed and stressed because why didn't we just do it before now?!
I'm not saying there aren't some weirdos out there (just kidding....but not really) who practically JUMP out of bed in the morning as soon as their alarms go off and they probably don't even know where their snooze button is on their alarm. I know I'm pretty much the polar opposite of that. I like my sleep, my warm bed likes me, and so the cycle continues. But I just WISH that I was one of those weirdos who can just jump out of bed in the morning and start doing whatever I need to.
I guess I'm just curious when the snooze button became a thing! If the snooze button had never been invented, I wonder if how we wake up would be vastly different today. We wouldn't get accustomed to the obnoxious sound our alarms make and would wake up fully the first time it went off.
I'm trying hard to try and rewire my brain to realize how annoying that beeping my alarm is so that it will get so annoyed the first time, it won't want to go back to sleep and I can actually get stuff done. I'm wishing myself all the luck in the world because I'm at college and I'm always tired....and let's be honest, MOSTLY BECAUSE I'M AMY SCHNECK. :)
