I like to wake up gently and process what I’m going to do that day. I like to snooze for around half an hour. For me the period of snoozing is enjoyable in itself. I don’t want to maximise the amount of time I sleep. When Harry suggests setting the alarm half an hour later and getting up then, he’s missing the point. It’s just that the period before 8am is really difficult for me. I enjoy it and it means I won’t be late for things Harry needs to relax and embrace the snooze time. In my book, those are the only two options. If we want an extra half an hour in bed, we should set the alarm for later and get up then. If Regina was able to get up when the first alarm went off, we could use the spare time to have a coffee and chat instead of snoozing until the last second before she has to rush to join an online meeting. There’s also the issue of how she makes me feel if I’m getting up earlier than her: I’m accused of being functional, efficient and boring, when really I’m just organised. A morning person is someone who doesn’t need multiple alarms and gets up straight away, ready to embrace the day. Regina claims to be a morning person but she’s not. The ringtone is also the default iPhone one, a loud clanging noise which is really aggressive. On her phone, Regina has every alarm she’s ever set, as she never deletes them. Sometimes I will have to wait anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes before I get my coffee. I like to make our coffees at the same time, but I can never tell when Regina will actually wake up. It also means I never know when to make my coffee. There have been a few times when alarms have been ringing hours later, while she’s showering or downstairs. The snooze button impacts our morning routine. I like to make our coffees at the same time, but I can never tell when Regina will actually wake up I often feel as though I’m simply an extension of her alarm clock. Sometimes I reach over her to turn off an alarm, which is a lot of effort. I stay over at Regina’s four times a week and I have to adapt. She likes a gradual way of getting up whereas I prefer to do it immediately. Regina sets between six and seven alarms each morning and “snoozes” each one. Why not just set it and get up when it goes off? You’re left thinking about the alarm going off again you’re neither fully asleep nor awake. I don’t snooze because it’s not enjoyable. I’m fundamentally opposed to the snooze button but my girlfriend, Regina, loves it.
