If you read about the snooze alarm, you might have seen it doesn't make sense to delay action when you're still half asleep especially if you already made a different decision when you were fully awake.

So let me bring you up to date on some real-life drama.

Who would have the nerve to be against the snooze alarm? Why would you want to be against such a helpful "sleep aid"? 

Many people have trouble going to sleep - so they want a pill to help. Others can't stay asleep so they want a midnight tonic with no morning hangover. Some haven't had enough sleep when the alarm goes off so they keep hitting the snooze button. Still others get out of bed only to find they cannot really wake up until the first dose of caffeine hits the spot! 

Wouldn't we be rich if we could find the perfect answer to all four problems?

But at least one person out there has a crusade against the ubiquitous snooze alarm. And it starts with ancient history. Can you feel a story coming?
