Dear Loui #2 – The Perpetual Snoozer

(Why You Keep Hitting Snooze, Even When It’s Ruining Your Life)

✉️ Dear Loui,

I hit snooze so many times every morning, and I drive my partner nuts.

It’s been this way since high school. I’ve tried everything—multiple alarms, morning playlists, guilt-tripping myself with inspirational quotes. Still, I wake up, groan, and make deals with the devil to buy “just nine more minutes.”

Now I’m constantly late for work, I’ve gotten formal warnings, and I’m starting to think this isn’t just a bad habit—it’s my whole damn identity.

I need help.
Level 13 me, Loui. I’m not getting it.

Dear Still in Bed,

Let’s molt some truth feathers:
This isn’t about the snooze button.
This is about avoidance in a hoodie.

You’re not just tired.
You’re unwilling.
Unwilling to wake up to a day you secretly hate.
Unwilling to get out of bed when the rest of your life feels like a to-do list you didn’t make.

Let’s be clear:
You’re not “not a morning person.”
You’re a morning fugitive.
Because mornings feel like punishment—not possibility.

And no playlist, no fancy sunrise lamp, no “rise and grind” TikTok is gonna fix that if your soul clocks in to someone else’s schedule every day.

🕯️ Here’s your spell:

Tomorrow morning, don’t hit snooze.
Just whisper:
“I deserve a life I don’t want to sleep through.”

And if that makes you cry?
Good. That’s called waking up.

Still feel the urge to snooze?
Fine. Just set one alarm.
Label it: “This Is the Life You’re Settling For.”
Let it ring.
And then ask yourself if that’s really the day you want to loop forever.

Bless your denial.
Now get your crow-ass up.

🖤

Dear Loui,
Okay, rude.
But also… fair.

Here’s the thing—I do hate my mornings.
I hate my job. I hate my commute.
I hate that every day starts with dread and dry shampoo.

But I can’t just quit.
So what if I can’t change the job yet?
How do I make mornings suck less in the meantime?

Still hitting snooze… but thinking about it now.

🪶 Loui’s Final Mic-Drop:

Ahhh. There it is.
The real alarm just went off—and it wasn’t the one on your phone.

Here’s the truth, baby crow:
You don’t have to love your job to love your morning.
But you do need to make the morning yours.

Start your day with something that belongs to you.
Even just five minutes.

A stretch. A spell.
A scream into a towel.
A weird dance.
A song you only play when no one’s watching.

Because when you wake up and go straight into someone else’s rules?
Of course you want to stay under the covers.
The snooze button becomes your tiny protest.

But if the first thing you do is choose you?
Even for one weird, sacred moment?
Everything shifts.
You stop hitting snooze—not because you “fixed” yourself…
But because—for once—the day starts with you. Not despite you.

🖤
Now go put on real pants and scare capitalism a little.
