The great soul who invented the snooze button might indeed have wanted to help people. But they just invented a way of making workers and students late.
It is simple: you start hitting the gentle button to stop the weirdest wake up sounds up. And you can turn side, get even more comfortable and sleep again. Then it sounds once more, and you hit the snooze, and you sleep and… on and on till you don’t have enough time to brush your hair or your teeth and rush out.
The Stiod I saw this morning on facebook was an Alarm App that has the two traditional snooze and off buttons with a little change: The button for turning off is free and the other one costs money (say $0,99) for snoozing. Cool and upsetting at once! Isn’t it? I wonder who the money goes to, but that is another discussion, maybe to the App ower – Man, a gold pot!
With that, being lazy will cost you a bit more – by the way, to me it cost some taxi rides sometimes and later breakfast at the baker’s.
