snooze buttons
Morning procrastination enablers
Snooze buttons are the controls on alarm clocks that temporarily silence the alarm, allowing a few more minutes of sleep before it sounds again.
The interval is typically nine or ten minutes.
Figuratively, to hit the snooze button on something is to delay dealing with it: Congress hit the snooze button on immigration reform.
