gimme 10 more minutezzzzz

My current alarm clock allows me to adjust the snooze time up to 30 minutes, then from there I can snooze for 2 hours. As lovely as this sounds, this is NOT a good thing. I have progressed to setting my alarm at 5AM to ensure I am finally up by 7:30, only to rush and still be late to work.

The solution?

I hope it's dog attack proof. The pooch loves moving targets...
