I resemble that remark...

"...there aren't many pleasures I enjoy more than sleep. I sleep till I am done, normally, and haven't set an alarm in years. I'm not lazy, mind you, I just find it odd anybody would program a machine to wake them. God made the brain so it would wake on its own, and as a follower of Jesus, I am a strict adherent to His system. Call me a fundamentalist if you want."

Can I use this as an excuse for being late for work? Alarm clocks are evil.

This sounds so much like Donald Miller in his writings.
Odd that we would need an alarm clock to wake us? I would have slept through every early morning prayer time, meeting, classes I taught if not for the alarm. Not to mention classes I took in college. Plus my kids would never have made it to school as they were late nighters like their Mom.

I love it! I wish life and work could actually revolve around sleep instead of the other way around. I think we'd all be happier people...lol.
