Alarmclock puzzle

[Steven **]

I have a similar problem, but came up with a slightly different
approach.  I tend to snooze too much, so mine focuses on the snooze
button.

You'd start with 1 big snooze button that snoozes for x minutes.
After x minutes, alarm sounds again, but there are now two or three
buttons. Maybe you have to hit them in a particular order. Maybe pick
2 that are the right color. Snoozes for another x minutes.
Next, has a screen with 9 buttons (big enough to use with fingers).
The buttons flash (maybe play a sound) in a pattern. You have to
repeat the pattern to snooze again.
Etc

Have snooze time configurable. User enters comma-separated list. Last
number in list is repeated. Ie "10,9,5"

What do you think?
