The snooze button may seem like the greatest invention ever for a few more minutes of much needed shut-eye. But the truth is -- it’s doing you more harm than good.
That’s because your body has its own way of waking up. The process begins about two hours before you’re actually ready to wake up, and it starts with your core temperature increasing, which makes you feel less sleepy.
When you’re woken up by an alarm, this process gets interrupted. While this is bad enough as it is, the moment you hit snooze, you trick your body into thinking it can go back to its dormant state. So when the alarm then goes off a second time (or let’s be honest, a third, fourth or fifth time), your body and brain are completely lost by your indecisiveness.
The result is that uncomfortable groggy feeling, which can last for up to two hours into your day. So tomorrow, instead of snoozing the morning away, set your alarm for the time you actually have to get out of bed. And then get up when it goes off.
Do this consistently every day and you should naturally begin to feel sleepy in the evening, because your body knows it will have to wake up X hours later. And what’s more, eventually you may be able to ditch the alarm, and rely on your natural body clock to wake you up.
