I have always set my alarm clock anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before the time I actually want to get out of bed. I do this for a very practical reason - I tend to hit the snooze button at least 5 or 6 times before getting up. I know that the little bit of sleep I catch in between hitting the snooze really doesn't do much, and I would be better of just getting an entire hour of uninterrupted sleep, then getting right out of bed. But, I have always liked burrowing back under the covers for a few more minutes before getting up. Since Jack's arrival, I have had little need for my old alarm clock. However, I still have a need for the snooze button. And I have discovered that the pacifier works as a pretty decent substitute. He starts crying, I stick the pacifier in, and I get at least 6 or 7 more minutes of sleep before it falls out and the alarm goes off again. I can do this for about 30 minutes before I absoultely have to get up. It's almost just like the pre-kid days.

Here's our alarm clock with his snooze button.
