Hitting snooze four times is you voting against your own morning, four times in a row.

Each press is a small vote, and the votes are cast by the person least qualified to be voting. Nothing about the extra nine minutes improves the morning; the sleep is broken, the rush is worse, and the day starts with an argument you lost against yourself. The habit is less about tiredness than about the decision being available at all.

Move the alarm out of reach so getting up is the only way to stop it. Decide the night before what happens in the first five minutes, and let the choice be already made.
