Do you wake up with the alarm or do you snooze?

For most of my life I've been someone who jumps up when the alarm goes off and starts my day. I'll set the alarm later if I think I need more sleep but I've always gotten up when the alarm has gone off.
Over the past couple of months I've not been sleeping well (for various reasons) and I've started "snoozing". I use my iPhone as my alarm clock so it is easy to just reach over and hit snooze. I've gotten into the bad habit of doing it once or twice almost every morning.
I need to stop this and start making more of an effort to get more and better sleep.
Do you snooze?

I very, very rarely snooze. I usually wake up before my alarm has a chance to go off. Only when I am tee-totally exhausted do I let the alarm wake me.

@NJChicaa Amongst the other things you are dealing with, do you think that it's just the noise around you that's causing you to not sleep as well and thus sleep later?

@ScribbledAdNauseum stress, heartbreak, not using my CPAP regularly, etc.

I only snooze when I am really tired. Otherwise I usually get up around the time when the alarm clock rings.

@NJChicaa The same here due to the effects of the prescribed sleep medicine that my doctor gave to me.

I never snooze . Most mornings I get up before the alarm goes off.

@NJChicaa I always do. Even on the weeks I can't sleep in even when I want to

My alarm is always set for 8:30 am. When it rings I always stop it and then go back into bed. Sometimes I get up soon after I go back to bed. Sometimes I fall back asleep and wake up close to 10 am or between 10 am and 11 am.

Jay hits the snooze one time, each morning. He has full control over the alarm clock, but I'm already awake when it goes off.

Snoozing what is that I know what it is but I don't do it I do not wake up with an alarm clock but I do wake up when the roosters crow I used to do a paper route so I usually wake up at 5 in the morning my body automatically wakes up at this time of the morning every morning without fail snoozing is not an option for me.

I can't. Lily will wake me up. She's my alarm clock.
