WHAT’S the deal with snooze buttons?

Nine minutes is in no way a snooze.

A snooze is generally at least two hours long (ideally three), usually after a laksa at the weekend markets.

Some alarm clocks even allow you to shorten the “snooze” time to five minutes or less.

It’s an outrage, and alarm clock manufacturers need to change things urgently.

The “snooze” button should be re-labelled more realistically “not yet” or “I’m pulling a sick day”.
