I can do this with any alarm clock I've tried, and after three or so days it doesn't even wake me up anymore. @Tony LaRocca:

Mostly because I paid for a clock with a snooze button and I want to get my money's worth. I hit it once. Mostly because I paid for a clock with a snooze button and I want to get my money’s worth.

Now you're up - might as well stay there. Trick I learned from a friend in the army - put the alarm clock on the other side of the room, so you have no choice but to get out of bed and turn it off.

I for one hit the snooze button ~3-4x a morning. However, it's a pattern I've developed as a college student, to have 2 alarms. One for gradually waking me up over a period of 15 minutes or so(alarm'll sound every 5 minutes), and one loud oh-crap-purposes-only alarm, usually preventing me from oversleeping. My ex-roommate had an alarm clock that, when it went off, it would send this helicopter-propeller flying above and out into the room, and the only way it would turn off was to find that propeller and put it back. Nifty little thing. I agree. I for one hit the snooze button ~3-4x a morning. However, it’s a pattern I’ve developed as a college student, to have 2 alarms.

I always hit the snooze button and realize I'm late for everything when I wake up feeling good then look at the clock flashing 1 o'clock. :( Then it's a mad dash with a haphazard shower, horrible shave, a glass of milk and a piece of bread.

After I moved out I never used an alarm clock. Dads years of wake ups let me develop an ability to tell myself when to get up and I just did. I know it sounds weird, but, I was never late for work ever. I was raised as a military brat, Dad was your alarm and you best get up.

I ended up buying one of those alarm clocks that runs away from you so you have to chase it down to shut it off.
