Why We Hate Alarm Clocks

by: The Society for the Eradication of Sleep Deprivation

It's not just about being woken up to the dulcet tones of a tinny bell, no, it's about the existential dread that comes with knowing you're about to be yanked out of a perfectly good sleep.

Here are some possible reasons why we hate alarm clocks:

• We're just not ready to face the crushing despair of reality
• We're secretly hoping our bed is a portal to another dimension, and we don't want to leave
• We're allergic to morning light, and the sun is like kerosene to our eyeballs
• We're trying to break the world record for most consecutive hours spent under the covers

What happened before alarms were invented, anyway?
