Long-term consequences of fragmented sleep can be negative as just one week of bad or incomplete sleep can lead to stress, inflammation, and lowered immunity. This, in turn, results in a poor quality of last-hour sleep. However, by pressing the snooze button at regular intervals, we end up confusing our body clock. This happens when you go to bed at a decent hour the night before. Other studies have said that our body's internal clock gets ready to wake up once the morning alarm goes off. He said: 'Instead, try setting your alarm for the least possible time you must get up or if you have just enough time to push the snooze button one time.' 'Instead, try setting your alarm for the last possible time you must get up or if you have just enough time to push the snooze button one time.'ĭr Brues also had a word of advice for people who find it difficult to get up at one go in the morning. In fact, while 26 of respondents aged 20-29 snooze at least 3 times, less than 10 of respondents in each age group over 50 do the same. As a result, the last 30 minutes or 1 hour of our normal sleep is fragmented. Snoozing seems to correlate with age: the younger we are, the more we hit the snooze button.
The doctor said the duration of snooze is usually 7-9 minutes long, which does not give our brain ample time it needs to get back into deep sleep.
