Timebomb

I had another little disagreement with Philippa this morning.
For some reason that I don’t quite grasp, she has her alarm clock beside the bed set 15minutes early. She then sets her alarm for the time she needs to get up, so that when it goes off she knows that she still has 15minutes in bed.
This is ridiculous to me. Surely you’re getting less sleep than if you just set the alarm for the right time? Because now you’re being woken up 15 minutes earlier than you need to be, and then struggling to get back to sleep when you could have been asleep all along?
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, after she HAS been woken up 15 minutes early, she then keeps hitting the SNOOZE button so the pissing alarm keeps going off every 2 minutes until she eventually decides to get up, which is always at exactly 7am anyway. SO WHY NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TIME ON THE CLOCK AND SET THE ALARM FOR THE TIME YOU WANT TO GET UP??????
It perplexes me, and when I work a late shift and fancy a lie-in it bloody annoys me as well, so this morning when the alarm went off for the sixth time I quietly and calmly raised the issue by shouting “If that frigging thing goes off one more time I’ll throw it, and you, out of the window.”
I’m such a sweetheart.
