that snooze button

its got to be the most senseless invention in human history

you want to wake up early
so you set the alarm
it rings at the designated time the next morning [duh]
you decide its too early to get out of bed
so you press the snooze button
the alarm rings again abt 5 minutes later
you still decide its too early to get out of bed
and the cycle repeats itself 647836342781 times
till you are finally willing to leave the bed

since you were going to "wake up" perhaps 30 mins later
why dun you just set the clock for then?
and save the sanity of your roommate
who very unfortunately has to endure the ringing every 5 mins
some people do want their sleep as much as you do

personal grievances aside, someone please tell me the use of the snooze button. there must be a good and compelling reason for you [general usage of the word, no specific person] to have had set the clock to ring at a certain time, so honour the time you have set to wake up. by hitting on the snooze button repeatedly, are you not making a mockery of the original intention to wake up "earlier".

so what has the snooze button become? an excuse to wake up late "cos i wanted to press the snooze button but i pressed the off button by mistake"? its my personal opinion but anyone who desires to be more disciplined for the new year should/must stop snoozing [pun intended] since what discipline is there in someone who cant make it a point to wake up once the alarm clock sounds? i guess this really is starting to sound jugdemental but seriously till anyone can enlighten me on a good reason for the snnoze button to exist, i shall continue to campaign for its removal from the face of this earth or something to that effect.
