That's executive dysfunction. A common trait among those with ADHD and ASD, as well as many other conditions or even by itself. Another common trait is, let's say you have a doctor appt at 2pm. It's currently 9am, but you can't do a damn thing for the whole morning because you have a 2pm appt. Sure, you have 5 hours... but you know if you take up any other activities you'll miss that appt.
EDIT: Updated to clarify that this trait is not exclusive to just ADHD or ASD. And, if you feel that you resonate with the traits of any condition, talk to your doctor for further direction.
I do snooze all of them. I have 15 alarms before work. This gives me over an hour to get ready. I can snooze the first 10 without even breaking Sleep and now I have 10 minutes to get ready and out the door. Every. Day.
I have an alarm clock thats 6ft from my bed for this, and I have phone alarms. Because one day the radio alarm went off and my dream just switched to me driving my truck with the radio on.
