When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?

No! I am being lazy when I don't set the clock, but since whether I rise at 5:00am or 3:29PM is of little moment. I can write the kind of drivel I produce at pretty much any time of the day or night. That's been verified by a man with a watch with two extra dials and several sets of extra hands; but he wouldn't tell us what they were for.
