Wouldn't it be easier just to put your alarm clock on the other side of the room, so if you want to hit snooze, you actually have to get up to do it? (which is what my husband does when he really needs to get up).

This is what I do.

For a while, I had my alarm clock on my desk, out of simple reach. After a while, I developed this ability to get just enough out of bed to hit the clock with one overhand whack (this clock was a sphere, the whole top was the button) and get back into bed with one motion. Now I figure if I put the clock on my dresser (the furthest piece of furniture) I'll get up, walk to it, turn it off, and walk back to bed, all without really waking up at all :>.

But there are some times- frequent times, really- when you want to smack the snooze, get that 10 minutes more sleep, then be up on the second or third snooze alarm. That said, there are plenty of people who do just that, put the alarm clock away from the bed.

But that's not as *fun* as Simon.
