All my life I have battled the alarm clock, pummeling the snooze button over and over with mounting self-loathing until the shame is finally strong enough to lever me upright.

Isaac Marion

I'm so lazy I've got a smoke alarm with a snooze button.

Tim Vine

There is too much life to be lived for you to hit the snooze button. In fact, I believe it is 'seize the day', not 'snooze the day!'

Hal Elrod

Discipline starts every day when the first alarm clock goes off in the morning. I say 'first alarm clock' because I have three, as I was taught by one of the most feared and respected instructors in SEAL training: one electric, one battery powered, one windup.

Jocko Willink

It was an impressive achievement, of course, and a human achievement by the members of the IBM team, but Deep Blue was only intelligent the way your programmable alarm clock is intelligent. Not that losing to a $10 million alarm clock made me feel any better.

Garry Kasparov

There is no snooze button on life - Tara Daniels

Jill Shalvis

I don't need an alarm clock, for habit is the best alarm there is.

Jane Stanton Hitchcock

Trust me: I do hit the snooze button about 4 times.

Tamron Hall

This morning did you wake up to an alarm clock or an opportunity clock?

Zig Ziglar

The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.

Brene Brown

I write everything as a wake-up call to myself and others, to anyone who may have gotten tired of hitting the snooze button.

Anne Lamott

...people don't respect the morning. An alarm clock violently wakes them up, shatters their sleep like the blow of an ax, and they immediately surrender themselves to deadly haste. Can you tell me what kind of day can follow a beginning of such violence? What happens to people whose alarm clock daily gives them a small electric shock? Each day they become more used to violence and less used to pleasure.

Milan Kundera

Every morning is a battle between the superego and the id, and I am a mere foot soldier with mud and a snooze button on her shield.

Catherynne M. Valente

I use a progressive alarm that makes a soft sound at first and then progressively gets louder. But I usually wake on the first sound, so it doesn't disturb my wife. When I used a loud alarm clock, I was more likely to hit it on the head and go back to sleep.

Edwin Catmull

Our EMF meter was jumping off the charts. We found her alarm clock was causing crazy electro-magnetic fields around it. We spent $22.99 on a nice digital clock, and she never saw an apparition again.
