When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?
No, I like listening to quiet talking and music as I try to wake up. It reminds me of waking up to the "stock report" on cold, dark, wintery mornings when I was growing up and it gives me warm fuzzies inside. (By the way, I grew up in Wyoming, and where I was that early in the morning, the "stock report" meant the price of beef and other animals that day, not the stock market.)
