Guilty pleasures: The snooze button.

The snooze button was one of the most convenient and the most frustrating, the sleep-related inventions ever. Before that, when the alarm went off, you lost the ball to turn it off, or rose. 

Irving Berlin said it was too creative for each bed in his song of the Army: 
“Oh, how I like to get up in the morning; 
Oh, how I’d like to stay in bed” 

Of course, your song was on the hated army bugles awakened abruptly World War I soldiers every morning at dawn or earlier. Today, we are a bit more sophisticated with pause buttons on our alarm clocks, but concern still remains the question every morning. 

Every morning, except maybe some weekends if you don’t have young kids, your alarm shocks you out of a sound sleep. The bell rings loud, but refuses to get up yet. You’re relaxed because you know the snooze button will do the job so that you can get another five or ten minutes of sleep. 

The alarm is really no consolation or guilty pleasure. You know he will never land of dreams again, because almost awake now knows the buzz is going to happen soon to rise. Thus, after the initial alarm, you lie in bed, unable to go back to sleep, anticipating that damn buzz. It asks: does it really bloody reminder that button? 

Today, due to related inventions reveille more sophisticated, deep sleep may have other features that may attach or remove the snooze button. It can be a simple click on the radio instead of the original alarm. However, this can be a problem, too. 

Remember the movie “Groundhog Day”? It is the story of a guy who uses the radio automatically, click-on to get him up. For a fantasy nightmare, discovers that he must live that day over and over again. 

At first he is horrified at the prospect, but then realizes he can change what you want during that interminable day. So, after weeks and months, it holds many things. 

He hits people upset, gets drunk, and learns foreign languages and courting a girl and win. Even commits suicide by driving off a cliff, but healthy awake the morning radio program itself. 

While there is not much of a chance that you can live through this fantasy by having her wake up radio, but it would be a more pleasant experience of being abruptly awakened by the loud noise, followed inevitably by the snooze button. 

For the person who sleeps more sophisticated, one with money and intelligence to install a line of entertainment equipment which would at the time of awakening. First, if your kitchen is nearby, might be awakened by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. 

Then add to the experience, electronic alarm can turn on the TV, turn on the computer and a host of other tasks that could actually spark a pleasure. 

There’s even a pet feeder that drops of fresh food and water in containers at the same time every morning. Unfortunately, at present there is no automatic system that wakes up your children or spouse. 

It is arguable that the snooze button can never be considered a true guilty pleasure. Of course, if you ignore both the alarm and the snooze button and stay in bed, the fault may be the least of their problems with work, school or family.
