We have all done it ... we set the alarm at night and plan to wake up at the assigned time, but when morning rolls around, we groan, roll over and slap that button. The snooze button is the most ickle of objects and yet it serves such a

gigantic purpose. Those extra nine minutes that result from hitting a tiny button are the most wonderful minutes of the day. The only bad part is: it's addictive. We can hit it again and again, each time receiving nine glorious minutes; however, after the tenth sequence of rolling over, slapping the button, and snuggling back into the covers, we realize what time it is and we say f***!
