the innards of alarm clocks had long been standardized.
This meant that the teeth on the Snooze gear had to mesh with
the existing gear configuration, leaving engineers with a single choice:
They could set the Snooze for either a little more than nine minutes, or
a little more than 10 minutes.
But because reports indicated that 10 minutes was too long, allowing
people to fall back into a, " Deep " sleep, clock makers decided on
the nine-minute gear, believing people would wake up easier and
happier after a shorter snooze.
We'd tend to disagree with that logic, but, then, we must be in the lazy minority.
Although today's digital clocks can be programmed to have a Snooze
of any length, many stick with nine minutes because that's what consumers expect.
