Alarm Tag

Ever play alarm tag?

Alarm Tag is when you set your alarm to wake you up at like 8:00 or whatever, yeah? And then it wakes you up but you cannot get up so you hit snooze or you say, alright I can be motivated when I get up and move fast so I'll get another 15 minutes up sleep. 15 minutes later and you still don't get up. You say alright I don't need to be up this early, another 15 minutes.

Boom
     8:30 in no time.

"You know, I can do this, sleep is good for me." Another 26 minutes.

8:56
   No things are getting tense, you can't fall asleep because you know it's coming.

Finally it's 9:29 and you know you have to get up or else you're going to be late to work/class/whatever.

You get up and start rushing around to get ready. Then you hear it again. The alarm buzzing off at 9:31. Because we always add that one extra minute as if it's really necessary.

This is Alarm Tag and everyone plays it. It's us bargaining with ourselves possibly just giving up on being awake just because we want to sleep longer.
