Snooze button

Hehehe, I've often wondered that myself! For me, I think it has more to do with getting those few precious extra minutes of stolen time. Yeah, I know I should get up on the first ring, but there's something self-satisfying about grabbing those stolen minutes. I don't usually remember my dreams, but I often will go right back to dreaming and when I do get up I tend to remember them more. I wonder if it has to do with the stage of rem sleep we're in or something? It'll be interesting to see if somebody has a good answer for this one!
