Goal —delay waking up
Set the alarm
Snooze the alarm when it rings
Calculate how long it takes to get ready
Figure that you can sleep for 5 minutes more
Reset alarm
Snooze
Switch to Plan B — skip bath to save time
Recalculate time to get ready
Reset alarm
Snooze
Panic about having overslept
Another round of calculation about the time required to get ready
Switch to Plan C — pack breakfast, eat in the cab
Another 10 minutes saved
Reset alarm
Wake up
Panic
Goal achieved — successfully delayed waking up by half an hour!
