Lazy or Not…

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

So at first when trying to answer this question, I would say yes. This is because you are too lazy to push the button. You don’t want to exert force to temporarily turn off an annoying sound. However, when talking to a friend about the question I gained a new perspective on the subject. The essence of the snooze button is so that you can postpone waking up. You use this when you are essentially too lazy to get up. Therefore, if you hesitate to push this button, you are maybe thinking about not being lazy and getting up, in which case it would not be considered lazy of you to hesitate. All together, it really comes down to the intensions of your hesitation. If you are hesitating to turn off the alarm because you do not want to, then you are being lazy about being even lazier. However, if you are hesitating whether to actually get up or not, than you are only making a decision in whether or not to be lazy and not to get up.
