I was just thinking, my alarm clock hasn't gone off for a couple of months now, I think the last time I didn't turn it off before it rang was back in January.
I generally wake up a few minutes before the alarm is set to go off and I turn it off, so that I don't wake my fiancé up.

That's generally what I do as well. The last time my alarm went off was about a month ago, when I got up before the alarm went off but I forgot to turn it off so it was doing it's thing in the bedroom for about five minutes before I heard it. Mark

Every day I set it. Occasionally I'll be awake before hand but I'd rather dose and wait for it to ring and make the most of my rest time.
It's not an alarm but Canned Heat by Jamiroquai so it's a pleasant noise.

I have one alarm clock (actually an app on my phone) but it's set to go off at several different times in the morning. I don't hate getting up or anything, it just takes me quite a while to do it in stages. It's actually got harder since I got some blackout curtains because now I don't have the increase in ambient light in my bedroom to kind of spur me on.

Every. Bloody. Morning. At 7am. Just in time for that annoying Chris Evans jingle - the one where he toots horns and they have to re-dub various names if a presenter is replaced. It’s the wife’s idea. Apparently she finds Chris Evans annoying enough to make her get out of bed.
I wish she’d find a better radio station to wake us up with.

I often wake up before the alarm. However, if I didn't set it, I would definitely oversleep. No, I don't get it either.

It's set for 0645 and 0700. Sometimes I'll wake up and will be in the shower before the first alarm goes off. Typically I'll be waking up on the first alarm and get out of bed on the second alarm. I have been known to snooze both alarms and get up at 0720.

Lately it's been a 6am alarm. Snooze for maybe 10-15 mins.
Finally up about 6.30.
Normally, knock about 30mins on those times.

once a day normally. Mostly because someone else in the flat has theirs ringing every 10 minutes for an hour between 6 and 7 am and sometimes as late as 8.30 am :S
