Don't snooze your alarm

It's probably best to set your alarm for a specific time and get up then.

Delaying getting out of bed for nine minutes by hitting the snooze is simply not going to give us any more restorative sleep. In fact, it may serve to confuse the brain into starting the process of secreting more neurochemicals that cause sleep to occur, according to some hypotheses.

Why we hit the snooze button

It's important to understand why we are using the snooze button in the first place.

What affects sleep cycles

If a person is not breathing well during sleep (snoring or sleep apnea), this will disturb the normal sequences and cause the individual to awaken feeling unrestored.
Sleep quality can be diminished by the use of electronic devices, tobacco or alcohol in the evening.

What normal sleep looks like

Our natural body clock regulates functions through what's known as circadian rhythms: physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a daily cycle.
