The snooze button has gotten a bad rap over the years \u2014 but a new study published in the Journal of Sleep Research suggests that snoozing doesn\u2019t always mean losing.<\/p>\n

Researchers from Stockholm University in Sweden found that stealing that extra few minutes of sleep<\/u><\/a> could actually support the waking process.<\/p>\n

Participants were evaluated in two separate studies, according to a press release from the university.<\/p>\n

In the first study, 1,732 individuals answered questions about their morning wake routines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many of them reported using the snooze button, mainly because they were too tired to wake up<\/u><\/a> <\/u>right away.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up study, 31 people who regularly used the snooze button were analyzed in a sleep lab for two nights.<\/p>\n

On one of the mornings, they were allowed to snooze for 30 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the other morning, they had to get up right away.<\/p>\n

On the mornings when they snoozed, the participants performed better on cognitive tests.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They also showed no negative effects on their mood, sleepiness or cortisol (stress) levels<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Our findings show that those who snooze on average sleep slightly shorter and feel more drowsy in the morning compared to those who never snooze,” said Tina Sundelin, a researcher at Stockholm University and lead author of the paper, in the press release.<\/p>\n

“But there were no negative effects of snoozing on cortisol release, morning tiredness, mood or sleep quality throughout the night.”<\/p>\n

The researchers also noticed some positive outcomes, including a “decreased likelihood of waking from deep sleep,” Sundelin noted.<\/p>\n

“When participants were allowed to snooze, they were also a bit more quick-thinking right when they got up,” she added.<\/p>\n

The study did have some limitations. For instance, it only included people who are regular snoozers and already find it easy to go back to sleep after each alarm.<\/p>\n

“Snoozing is most likely not for everyone,” added Sundelin.<\/p>\n

In a 2022 study by the University of Notre Dame, researchers found that those who used the snooze button were less active during the day and “experienced more disturbances” while sleeping.<\/span> (iStock)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The snooze button has been around since 1956, when General Electric-Telechron released its “Snooz-Alarm,” which offered roughly 10 minutes of extra sleep with the tap of the bar on top.<\/p>\n

However, the snoozers did not report feeling tired more often, nor did they take more naps than the non-snoozers.<\/p>\n

“There may be cases when hitting the snooze button is actually beneficial,” aid Stephen Mattingly, lead author of the study, in the press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you snooze and you\u2019re more alert when you get behind the wheel to go to work, that might be a benefit and a useful one. If it reduces dependence on caffeine, that\u2019s another.”<\/p>\n
