the moment the snooze button stops working on your entire life.

means The act of waking up, or—more often when used figuratively—a sudden realization or revival of awareness, feeling, or understanding.

from From the Old English áwrecnan / áwacian, "to wake up, rouse from sleep," built on wake plus the intensifying prefix a-. The literal sense of rising from slumber is ancient; the spiritual and intellectual sense—a soul or a society 'waking up'—grew alongside religious revival movements, where 'an Awakening' came to mean a stirring of collective conscience rather than just opening one's eyes.
