The top three reasons people gave for running late in the morning are general laziness, family/household duties and commuting problems. The survey of 1,000 American adults set out to discover what makes people rushed in the morning and late to work.

Hitting the snooze button too often is another morning obstacle, with 57 percent of Americans saying that they have hit the snooze button as many as six times before getting up at one time or another.
