I heard about this from Jacki and searched it and found a definition in the urban dictionary.
unprotected sleep:
Turning off your alarm clock, whether consciously or unconsciously, and falling back asleep, sometimes causing you to be late for your work, school, test and/or exam, doctors appointment, or any other task that is of importance.
90% of the time I am unconsciously doing this. It is so weird. But my sleeping mind tells me its okay to turn off the alarm or reset the alarm or just hit it for an hour.
Today I woke up found that I had been hitting snooze for at least a half an hour, not knowing.
Then I decide to turn off the alarm and get up. Well I turned the alarm off but never got up. So I wake up around 7:00 ish and start adding my hours for the day. This gets me in trouble I am too tired to figure this out so at 8:15 the time I should be walking out the door I roll out of bed, why, because I thought I still had an hour. What the hell.
This has been happening for awhile, my biggest reason for not jumping out of bed is, if I move around too fast I get a horrible stomachache and late for other reasons. I hate that I have a sensitive stomach.
I also am so dead tired when waking up. I just want to sleep. I work these horrible stupid hours. so I really don't get much sleep. I love my sleep.

I have this stuck to my desk.

When I needed to use an alarm clock on a daily basis, I found that putting it across the room helped me. I would have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. This made me not hit snooze as much, if at all! Of course, you have to have it turned up. What time did you get to work? :)
