One of the most difficult parts about sharing a bedroom with someone else is the process of getting up in the morning, especially if you both have to wake up at different times.
And one woman has been left at her wits' end thanks to her boyfriend's infuriating alarm clock habit - which she claims has been ruining her mornings for months.
The woman said her boyfriend has to get up for work at 7:30am, and although she usually wakes up at the same time, she works from home so is able to stay in bed while he gets up and gets dressed.
However, instead of setting an alarm for 7:30, the man instead sets one for 7:00 and hits snooze on it a total of four times before he eventually gets up - which drives his girlfriend insane.
The woman said she eventually "snapped" at her boyfriend because the annoying sound kept starting her day off on the wrong foot, and told him he needed to either get up straight away, or set his alarm for slightly later.
In a post on Reddit, she said: "I work from home, and I usually wake up at the same time [as my boyfriend], but I don't tend to leave bed until my boyfriend has gotten ready and left for work.
"My boyfriend has to leave for work at 7:30, and he sets his alarm for 7:00. He used to snooze it like four TIMES! One day I kinda snapped and told him he needed to stop because it was annoying, and he should just get up and get it over with or set it for a few minutes later.
"I'm not a person that ever hits snooze when they set an alarm because the noise is always so annoying, so whenever I heard that same noise every five minutes from an alarm that’s not even mine, it was definitely not the best way to start my day.
"He stopped snoozing because his work schedule changed and he was coming in late. But now he's the past few days he's been hitting snooze once again. The first couple of times he would do it once, but now we're up to two snoozes again.
"This morning I told him he can’t go back to this because it's too much EVERY SINGLE DAY."
The woman's boyfriend has branded her "selfish" for demanding he changes his morning routine for her, but she thinks he's the one being selfish, as he should "respect" her need for comfort.
She also pointed out that she goes to bed at the same time as him because he doesn't want her to "disrupt his sleep" by coming into the bedroom later, so he should have the same courtesy toward her in the morning.
She added: "I've been told I'm selfish and since I can stay in bed if I want, I can just keep sleeping later. I personally don't feel it's selfish because when you live with someone else you also have to respect them.
"I go to bed earlier than I'd like because he doesn't like me walking in later as it would disrupt his sleep, so how is this fair and okay?"
Commenters on the post were largely on the woman's side, with many of them admitting they also can't stand it when someone they're sharing a room with repeatedly hits snooze in the morning.
One person wrote: "Repeat snoozing is one of the rudest things a roommate commonly does. My roommate did it to me when I was in the Army. Hated it."
While another added: "Partners with snooze habits honestly drive me a little crazy - we're not always at our most patient when we're barely awake and the alarm keeps going off."
And a third said: "He needs to move his alarm clock across the room so he can't easily smack the snooze button every five minutes."
