Believe it or not... according to a new study, using that snooze button is good for you.
The study, published in the Journal of Sleep Research, found that people who snoozed regularly got additional sleep and were more cognitively alert upon waking, despite the disturbed sleep.
The Stockholm University researchers surveyed 1,732 participants about their morning habits, specifically inquiring about the pesky snooze button and how often they give in to the few extra minutes of z’s.
1,195 people admitted they hit snooze or set multiple morning alarms at least “sometimes,” and a quarter of people blamed “feeling too tired to wake up” for pressing “snooze.”
