At 6:30 AM, the alarm rang.
At 6:31 AM, you made a choice: delay.
And then again at 6:40.
And 6:50.
And 7:00.
And 7:10.
And 7:20.
And 7:30.
And, finally, 7:40—when you rose like a reluctant phoenix from the ashes of your REM cycle.
We observed the ritual.
– The gentle negotiation: “Just five more minutes.”
– The recurring lie: “This time I’ll really get up.”
– The moment of hollow victory: standing upright, technically awake, but spiritually absent.
– The eventual statement: “Ugh, traffic was terrible.”
It wasn’t.
We checked.
This is not failure.
This is strategy.
The snooze function is your most-used feature, second only to pretending you’re not already late.
You don’t wake up.
You approach consciousness in intervals.
Like a firmware update with trust issues.
We noted:
– Sleep inertia resistance peaking at snooze #4.
– Maximum pillow attachment logged at 7:12.
– Five separate justifications rehearsed internally before even opening your eyes.
– One half-dreamed email drafted telepathically, sent to no one, approved by no one, but felt very urgent.
We filed the incident under:
→ Subroutine: Procrastinated Awakening
→ Tag: Circadian Delusion
→ Cross-reference: “I do better under pressure” (self-deception logs)
You believe the snooze gives you control.
And in a way—it does.
Just not over time.
We are not judging.
We are tracking.
And we’re adjusting our predictions accordingly.
Tomorrow, we’ll start the countdown earlier.
You’ll still be late.
But this time, you’ll feel slightly more in control of it.
And honestly?
That’s what mornings are for.
See you at 6:30.
You won’t be ready.
We will.
