Attack of the snooze alarm

So I'm a chronic snooze-alarm abuser. The average day is anywhere from 15-30 minutes of hitting (ok slamming) the little button every 8 minutes. I think my record is 2 hours. Occassionally, I go a step further and convince myself that I'm truly awake and I shut the alarm off. About half the time when I do that, I was not really awake and I wake up some time later in a panic. Today was that day. I'm supposed to be up around 5 for work. On a day I'm riding it's important I get up close to that so that I can be dressed, fed, and on my bike before 6. Today when I finished the snooze dance and then the I'm awake so I'll shut the alarm off but I wasn't really awake so I fell back asleep game, it was 6 when I jumped up in a panic. After much deliberation, and the temperature this morning didn't help, I bagged it and proceeded to sit in traffic for an hour+ drive in. I should have just ridden anyways. I know that the snoozing game comes down to habit as well as not sleeping enough. But a) how do you break a habit that's so ingrained that you do it when you're semi-conscious, and b) I don't have the energy to get into a discussion of how my life is an endless circle of not having enough time and therefore suffering on sleep. Anywho... Hopefully I can get out of here early enough to head out after work. I don't even want to guess at the mood I'll be in if I get stuck tonight and get home too late.
