Who decided that nine minutes is the optimal snooze time for alarms?

If you know your 9s tables (which I will grant you a lot of people donât) it allows you to easily see how many times you hit the snooze button, assuming you set it for a time ending in 0⌠which most of us do.
Time ends in a 7⌠youâve hit the snooze 3 times.
Time ends in a 9⌠youâve only hit it once. (Or 11 times but even in a groggy state you probably have a feel for whether itâs been 1 or 11 times.)
9s table is most conducive to that. And itâs been around since a time when more people knew their 9s tables than today.
If Iâm hitting the snooze bar, no math for me. I just look at the time and decide if I should get up, or if I have nine more minutes.
Times when I have to get up earlier than normal I might not remember why I have to be up early.
But if I see that Iâve already hit snooze twice then I might think to myself âwhy is my alarm going off at 6:30 anywayâ and I might check my calendar.
I canât rely on my brain saying â7:15⌠time to get upâ.
I mean, I often set the alarm on the quarter hour so itâs 4âs 3âs and 2âs.
If I have to leave early I will set the alarm for 6:05 or some other time that I wouldnât usually do.
I RSVPâd for an event that takes place tomorrow. I recently caught a cold, but am feeling a little better and think I would otherwise attend. I donât want to be a germ spreader, but also donât want to no show for something where they are providing food/drink.
Should I attend as is, attend masked up, or bail out?
Attend. If youâre at risk of being sneezy or coughy then take cold medicine to reduce the likelihood of coughing / sneezing.
If youâre still feeling lousy tomorrow mask up when not eating.

Based on your description, this would be my vote. Like some wise poster posted a while ago, one good thing to come out of COVID-19 is that it (somewhat) normalized mask wearing.

I have not been sneezing or coughing. Only symptoms so far are postnasal drip and sore throat, which is a little better today than yesterday. It also is much worse when I wake up. I feel close to normal at the moment.

Sounds like a good antihistamine would be beneficial.
I take antihistamines daily due to allergies. Zyrtec+Flonase have been my daily regimen for years.

Naw, I donât think this post of Lucyâs was first either, but itâs 1.5 years earlier than the one you quoted.
Itâs something weâve been discussing for a while.
