If You Snooze, I Lose

Mike is a snoozer. I am not. What I mean is that every night, Mike sets his alarm, and every morning, he hits the snooze button several times before he gets out of bed. One thing I have noticed throughout the years is the enviable ablility "Snoozers" have of falling asleep quickly. Within minutes of his head hitting the pillow, Mike is sleeping soundly. I have to normally lay in bed for a half hour or so, even when I am tired, to fall into the blessed oblivion of sleep. So, once the alarm goes off, and then again 10 minutes later, I have not made it back to sleep yet and am less likely to the more I hear it. When I ask the obvious question : "Why not just set your alarm for the time you really want to get up and sleep well for that last half hour?" I get the "I like to wake up slowly" response. My "Well, I don't want to get up this early" gets me a bit of sympathy, but no results. The compromises we have to make in married life.....
