About this listen

Story at-a-glance
  • More than half of global sleep sessions now end with a snooze alarm, and heavy users lose the equivalent of an entire night of sleep each month
  • People who snooze frequently tend to have irregular bedtimes, disrupted circadian rhythms and inconsistent wake times, all of which drain energy and impair focus
  • Late bedtimes, poor light exposure and winter months trigger more snooze behavior, making it harder for your body to wake up feeling alert and restored
  • Women are more likely to hit snooze than men and stay in fragmented sleep longer, likely due to higher insomnia rates and greater caregiving demands
  • To reset your sleep cycle and ditch the snooze trap, sync your wake time with natural light, go to bed earlier and choose a single, gentle alarm
