Snooze Button Pressed Over 55% Of Time After Sleep, Alarm, Study Says

Snooze Button Pressed Over 55% Of Time After Sleep, Alarm, Study Says

The snooze button seems to be a popular choice for many people, with over half of sleep sessions ending with a press of the button, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. Participants in the study tended to hit the snooze button multiple times, averaging 2.4 presses per sleep session for an extra 10.8 minutes of snooze time. But is this behavior really beneficial, or could it be causing more harm than good?

The study used data from the SleepCycle app, analyzing sleep sessions from over 21,000 individuals around the world. The app allowed users to choose between a traditional snooze function or a “smart snooze” feature that takes into account their sleep cycle. The researchers excluded sleep sessions shorter than four hours, focusing on over 3 million recorded sessions from July to December of a particular year.

Interestingly, snooze button usage varied depending on the day of the week and the month of the year. It was more common to hit the snooze button on weekdays compared to weekends, likely due to work schedules. Additionally, colder months with shorter daylight hours saw increased snooze button activity, indicating a reluctance to get out of bed in less favorable conditions.

Country-wise, Sweden had the highest snooze button usage, while Japan had the lowest. Women were found to hit the snooze button more frequently than men, spending more time in snooze mode as well. This raises questions about the potential impact of snooze button habits on sleep quality and overall well-being.

Despite the temporary comfort of hitting the snooze button, it may not provide the restful sleep needed for optimal health. Sleep consists of different stages, including light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep, all of which contribute to the body’s restoration and rejuvenation. Hitting the snooze button repeatedly may only lead to shallow sleep, disrupting the natural sleep cycle and leaving you feeling groggy and unrefreshed.

If you find yourself relying on the snooze button regularly, it may be a sign that you need to adjust your sleeping habits. Going to bed earlier or setting a later wake-up time can help ensure you get enough restorative sleep without the need for multiple snooze alarms. Ultimately, prioritizing quality sleep over extra minutes of dozing can lead to better overall health and well-being. So next time your alarm goes off, consider getting up and starting your day fresh and energized, rather than hitting that tempting snooze button.
