Reaching For The Snooze Button? You're Not Alone

Researchers analyzed six months of SleepCycle data from over 21,000 people and more than 3 million sleep sessions, with results published May 19, 2025.
The study found frequent snooze button use, with about 56% of sleep sessions ending with a snooze press and 45% of users hitting snooze on most mornings, especially weekdays.
Long sleep sessions over nine hours were likelier to end with snooze use, while short sleepers of five or fewer hours rarely used it, possibly due to time constraints from job responsibilities.
Lead researcher Rebecca Robbins explained that repeatedly using the snooze button can break up important sleep phases, often resulting in only light sleep between alarms.
The findings indicate snooze use disrupts REM sleep and morning alertness, so Robbins recommends setting the alarm for the latest time and avoiding snooze for best sleep.
