How long to hit the snooze button to reap the benefits |
The snooze button has gotten a bad rap, but a new study found snoozing for 30 minutes or less led to no major differences in cognitive performance or any of the other measures compared with when participants weren't allowed to snooze. "The findings indicate that there is no reason to stop snoozing in the morning if you enjoy it, at least not for snooze times around 30 minutes," Tina Sundelin, Ph.D., one of the study authors and a sleep researcher at Stockholm University, said in a press release. "In fact, it may even help those with morning drowsiness to be slightly more awake once they get up."
