I never understood this thinknig. Veronica used to do the same thing. Why set it fast? now not only am i groggy, but I have to do math at 5am to figure out what time it is. If it was the exact time, i could just glance at it and know what time it was

But I wouldn't ever do that, because in my mind it would always know to deduct 15 mins. I wouldnt' be able to trick my mind. If I saw 7:15, I would know its only 7. So to me there isn't any reason to do it

because for some of us we dont have the ability to think first thing when we get up... I set it fast to trick myself into thinking im late.. if i didnt id be going " i have 5 more mins.." hit the snooze and be out again... and again and again and again...
