Can snoozing alarms be hereditary?
My mom never snoozed her alarm. Maybe my Dad, I can't recall. I snooze that damn thing. I have never been a morning person. As many years as I have had to rise early, I still am not GOOD about it. Can I pass this attitude on to my kids? LOL. They SLEEP through my insane buzzing alarm going off every 10 minutes. It is set 1/2 hour earlier that I HAVE to get out of bed...AND the clock is 20 minutes fast. YIKES seriously, that is a lot of snoozing. I am surprise the snooze button works still. My exhusband popped out of bed the minute his alarm went off. I always wondered, "why?"
Buggygirl has this alarm clock. It is a Bratz interactive clock. It is great. Voice-activated. You can ask it yes or no questions, you can ask it what time it is, it has an alarm clock. So with the school year on its way, we have set Adison's alarm clock for her to get up like a "big girl". For hereditary snoozers, voice activated (and deactivation) is NOT our friend. The wonderful invention When this alarm sounds (three different really cute sounds to choose from) you just simply say "awake" and the damn things says "great, have a good day"!! HA. My dear daughter says "awake" in her most sleepy voice and snuggles back in and procedes to go back to sleep. I have been guilty of doing the same from my bed, yelling across the hall "AWAAAKE" to shut it off. Is this a learned behavior? lol. Could my kids be chronic snoozers too?
If I have taught them one thing well it is how to snooze it in the morn. ;)
