I HAVE long been a big fan of the snooze button.

As soon as my first (yes, first) alarm went off, I’d immediately hit snooze. This initial alarm was one of many attempts to wake up earlier, set by an overly ambitious version of myself from the night before, someone who longed to call herself an early riser. In reality, it often took four or five alarms, set between five and ten minutes apart, before I got out of bed. Sometimes, I snoozed for up to an hour.
