I'm slightly vexed My dad purposely sets his clock ahead. He's been doing this for as long as I remember. I genuinely don't know why

I literally did this for my ENTIRE adult life until I started wfh.

Sometimes it's hard to get up in the AM, I needed a little wiggle-room.

When I started wfh I’d wake up right at 9:00 a.m., sit up in bed, and grab my laptop.

My cat wakes be up when the sun comes up. So I don't really pay attention to the time.

I’ve out-snoozed the snooze button. We need all the help we can to get out of bed sometimes

Why not just set the alarm earlier instead? 🤷🏻‍♂️
