To set my alarm this 'early'?

I want to set my alarm to go off at 6.10am (five minutes before I need to get up).
DH has stormed off to sleep in DD1s room and doesnt understand why I can't leap out of bed immediately it first goes off. Surely that's why snooze buttons were invented???

Considering his alarm goes off 15 minutes later he's being a twat. If it was for a longer period I'd be right behind him. What time does he need to get up (ie does HE use the snooze?).

I think anyone who has a partner that doesn't need to get up as early as they do is being selfish & inconsiderate to use a snooze button if it disturbs the sleeping partner, unless as above it's only 15 minutes until they themselves have to get up OR of course there are children that need seeing to and the sleeping partner should be helping.

OP It doesn't sound too bad but if he is that touchy I would just set the alarm and then quietly get up.

Fucking hell itsme
I think you are not being unreasonable-its bonkers and I would be having very stern words with your DP or he would be on the sofa/in the spare room

I love a fake lie-in. I have an alarm set for 6 and 6.30 and finally get up at 7.

BUT.... DH gets up at 4.45 and I never hear his alarm (or him getting ready) and he's long gone by the time my alarm goes off.

He had the day off today though and I still had the 2 alarms going off, but switched them off straight away and didn't rely on the snooze button.

For that small time difference if dh was getting up first I'd just get up with him. But if I'm up first dh wouldn't move and I'm on the alarm before it goes off so not to disturb him.
Dh is terrible for hitting the snooze button and it has caused arguments in the past as I am a terrible sleeper and he knows it.
I must say after disagreement 500 I said I'd get him back if he did it again, so I carried out my threat and turned his alarm up and put it on the landing and went to work.
He did laugh about it and I always threatento do it again if he slides back!
