The research of 2,000 UK adults found that Brits would spend on average of £49.53 - over six times the hourly minimum wage (£7.83) - for a morning that included an extra hour in bed.

North East residents were most desperate for an extra hour before the alarm went off and would fork out a whopping £73.20 for the privilege. People in Scotland were willing to spend £72.92 for an extra hour in bed and Londoners would shell out £61.30. If it means avoiding the horrendous commute first thing in the morning, then we certainly don't blame you!
