When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?
No. Hitting snooze without hesitation might be lazy, but hesitating before hitting snooze is not. It is a moment of doubt, a fraction of a second when you think to yourself, "I should get up. I should. I won't hit snooze." Then your finger hits the button, and only then could it be considered laziness. I wouldn't know, personally. I hate the snooze button.
