For those that use their iPhones as alarm clocks or have some sort of device with an approx 10 minute snooze, how many snoozes do you like to have to feel super fresh and ready to kick ass?

I sometimes wonder how many times I can hit the snooze button and still be able to sleep for those 10 minutes.

I prefer to wake up to the radio. Hitting the snooze button 6 times is just disrupting your hour of sleep.

I think the last time I used an alarm clock was 1994.

When the alarm sounds, you might as well just get out of bed - a normal sleep cycle is 90 minutes, so a few extra minutes sleep have no real benefit.

I never hit snooze. In fact, I barely use an alarm clock at all, thanks to my 'built-in' clock which appears to be alarmingly accurate.

I have so many alarms set and snooze so many times I can't even keep track of them. My wake up strategy at this point is for my alarms to wake up my wife who then wakes me up.

I personally hate how iOS behaves with regard to the alarm clock. Why does it think I'm trying to unlock it when all I want to do is turn off the alarm?

I can't do snooze. I either turn off the alarm and get up, or I don't get up. I had a really very unpleasant experience with this sort of thing WAY back in high school, and it's made me exceptionally attentive to getting my carcass out of bed at the time I've set the alarm for.

On the other hand, my son is a pro at snooze. He uses his phone (I think it's a Windows phone at the moment) as his alarm, and it has less than stellar results in getting him up. I don't blame that on the phone.
