Here's my idea for what should be a standard feature on all alarm clocks. We are modern people living in modern times and we need this.
My
radio alarm is set for 7:00 AM. When it goes off, I press snooze once.
When the snooze alarm goes off, I get up and go wake one of my kids. The
other is already up - no idea why. Lately, I've been waking up at 6:55.
Then I lie there half asleep, hit the snooze at 7:00, continue to lie
there dazed or maybe catch a few more minutes of sleep until the snooze alarm goes off at 7:09.
I
want a preemptive snooze button. At 6:55, I no longer need the 7:00
alarm. I want to press a button that bypasses the 7:00 alarm but goes off
at 7:09 when that first snooze would have gone off. It's probably easy
to program. Something like double tap the snooze button would work.
I actually remember buying the clock that is on the night table next to my bed. It was late August in 1989. I got it at a
Caldors while gathering stuff to bring to college in Boston. It's a pretty basic clock but it has served me well. I can set it in my sleep, but if I could get a preemptive snooze button I'd ditch it tonight.
Why don't we have this?

I like this idea. We too own a Sony 'Dream Machine' clock radio purchased sometime in the mid to late 80s - you can tell because it has simulated wood grain side panels. BTW, Caldor - no s. ;-)
