US EditionReaching For The Snooze Button? You're Not Alone
- A study published on May 19, 2025, in Scientific Reports analyzed data from millions of recorded sleep nights worldwide and found that snooze button usage is common.
- Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital analyzed six months of SleepCycle app data from over 21,000 people to understand snooze usage patterns.
- The study found that 56% of nights ended with a snooze button press, about 45% of users hit snooze more than 80% of mornings, and heavy users snoozed around 20 minutes daily.
- Lead researcher Rebecca Robbins explained that repeatedly using the snooze button can disturb important phases of sleep, often resulting in only brief periods of light sleep between alarms.
- The findings suggest snooze use disrupts important REM sleep stages and morning alertness, so Robbins advises setting the alarm for the latest time and waking immediately without snoozing.
