I used to regularly snooze my alarm which i had set for 7:00, however recently i have noticed that i directly wake up by my alarm at 7:10 and don’t remember snoozing my alarm!

Of course my phone can’t automatically snooze so i think that i have developed a habit and subconsciously snooze with minimal brain activity so i don’t remember

Has anyone else experienced this?

I mean, on paper snoozing sounds stupid, but it feels so fucking good. Hard to stop something that feels good like that. Falling asleep at night feels ok, but falling back asleep in the morning after you've just been woken up feels so goddamn good. I don't know what heroin feels like, but I wonder if it's like that.

OP, I haven't done that lately, but I used to be a person who would chronically turn off their alarm while still half asleep. I wouldn't remember doing it and I would wake up late because my alarm was shut off. I tried so many different tricks to help me get up on time and I finally figured out what works for me personally...

What has worked for me for years now is to have two devices with an alarm. The device physically closest to me (my phone, often on the nightstand or in the bed itself) will ring first. As a failsafe in case I turn it off without realizing, I have a second device with an alarm across the room from me that will ring some time after the first. Because you have to get up to shut off the second alarm, it's much harder to do it while half asleep. And because you already woke up at least briefly to shut off the first alarm, you're more likely to hear the second one and not miss it because it's too far away.

I figured this out after years and years of being a frustratingly chronically late person in high school and college. Once I was an hour or two late to a freaking final exam in college and the professor was nice enough to still let me take the exam. It's been a struggle, but after employing my current method, I haven't had many issues.

You might not be getting enough sleep.

Or they're just not a morning person. If I have to get up early, it doesn't matter how long I have slept, even after 10 hours, I have to be up at almost an hour before I don't feel like I would rather go back to sleep again.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Nope. It doesn't at all matter how much sleep I've gotten. Even if I consistently get 9 hours of sleep every day for the entire week, it still feels so good to snooze. Obviously it's easier to not snooze as much if I've slept more, but it still feels fucking amazing.

It has always been this way for me, no matter how much or how little sleep I get. It's wild to me if you don't experience this.

I experience this all the time, and it indeed feels amazing. It doesn't seem to be related to the number of hours I've slept, or to cumulative sleep deprivation. Going back to sleep after hitting snooze is just blissful.
