Arg, why 9 minutes?

5 mins here, would prefer less though. The morning is already rushed enough to spend 5 minutes lounging around if I don't wake up the first time.
 
Dont know how long mine is.
In the ~45 mins it takes to wake up, i hit the snooze button ~7-8 times :D
 
Thing is, bar the technical answer above, ie. 1956, it's also that any longer and you would fall back to sleep. 9 minutes or less ensures you don't drop back into a deep sleep. Waking you from that would be even more of a strain.

What would you prefer? 12 minutes? 7 minutes? Or is it just that waking up in general is a pain in the arse?

Waking up is a pain in the arse aye, i meant the fact you cant change it to whatever you want is a pain in the arse, you just have to wake up every 9 minutes and snooze again and again and again and ag......
 
Odd, I was thinking about this the other day. I begain scheming and hatched an ingenious plan. Pick up alarm clock, smash it, sleep. I mean then this would never bother you again. I hate getting up.
 
Alarm clocks are for noobs......its being able to know what time to get up and actually doing it that matters!

I ALWAYS seem to wake up just as its about too late to actually make it to college on time.

Got quite a big gay alarm clock to get me up in the morning though.

Its 5 minutes between each beeping session on it aswell. :( you end up throwing something at it,if you cant find the remote for it,and then it takes it upon itself to keep beeping like **** while its lying behind my tv :mad: then you go to get it to shut it up and you knock the arial down.....oh god.
 
Mines 9 minutes. I hate it so much I don't bother with it.

Not long enough to annoy you before you sleep, not short enough to catch you before you've nodded off for 3 mins.

I know put it on the other side of the room, once I'm out of bed I'm awake.

Ant :cool:

Erm yeh, if your reactions are so fast that you can wake up, and hit the snooze button in under a second ;).
 
I've never actually counted either of my alarm clocks snooze timings. I just know that once i've stopped it about 3 times I really should be getting up. That's after my phone alarm has gone of about twice before hand. I have to get myself up gradually :p
 
Dunno what mine is, the radio starts playing when it goes off, then i sit and listen to a bit music for 20 mins then get up. Much better than a load of beeping or sirens.
