The Lazy Innovation

These days, many alarm clocks have this button called " Snooze" button. Amazing technology. Traditionally, alarm clocks were meant to help you wake up and be on time for that important Tut, or a meeting, or a lecture... until they introduced Snooze. Now, the moment the alarm clock rings, the first thing that I do is press the snooze button.
At first, its very nice to know that ok.. at least you have begun the process of getting up. So why not just rest for 5 more minutes.. then its wake up time. Then again you press snooze.. thinking, No, just 5 more minutes and I would have completed the perfect sleep. Then, the morning is going to be as fresh as ever!!.. The next few snoozes do not trigger any thought process.. you just involuntarily press it. You dont realize it.

After some time, it becomes an ego problem. If you get what I mean. The alarm clock rings and you are thinking " Yes, I already told you 5 minutes right, so shut up... be patient.. I am going to wake up". Without realizing, you have wasted half an hour or so.. and then the next time it rings, you are irritated and simply put the alarm off. That feeling that you get.. Its just too amazing. It is like sweet victory. Like you have just managed to shut up that evil alarm clock. Now you feel like you are controlling time. You can sleep for as long as you want and still you feel that when you wake up, its not going to be too late....

Im sure many people miss their morning appointments because of the snooze button... But anyways, Its one of the awesomest innovations there have ever been, according to me.. :D
