I thought it was to disorient you a bit. If you typically snooze three times you know you have to be out of the bed at 8:00 sharp (with 7:30 original). Easy for your brain to latch on to that. Now with 9 mins…

Congrats on the launch! You are in a space close to money (Sales) and that will help you. However, the site needs work. It didn't convey clearly what the product is and didn't get me excited enough to try it. I'm your potenti
