hitting snooze
Buying more sleep
Hitting snooze is pressing the button on an alarm clock that silences it temporarily, typically for nine or ten minutes, delaying the need to get up: I hit snooze three times before finally dragging myself out of bed.
The phrase extends to any postponement of something you know you'll have to face eventually.
