The snooze button has gotten a bad rap over the years — but a new study published in the Journal of Sleep Research suggests that snoozing doesn’t always mean losing. Researchers from Stockholm University in Sweden found that stealing that extra few minutes of sleep could actually support the waking process. Participants were evaluated in two separate studies, according to a press release from the university.
In the first study, 1,732 individuals answered questions about their morning wake routines. Many of them reported using the snooze button, mainly because they were too tired to wake up right away. In a follow-up study, 31 people who regularly used the snooze button were analyzed in a sleep lab for two nights. On one of the mornings, they were allowed to snooze for 30 minutes. On the other morning, they had to get up right away.
On the mornings when they snoozed, the participants performed better on cognitive tests. They also showed no negative effects on their mood, sleepiness or cortisol levels. 'The key takeaway is that snoozing for 30 minutes in the morning doesn’t seem detrimental for your sleep or how tired you feel when waking up,' lead study author Tina Sundelin, a researcher at Stockholm University, told Fox News Digital.
However, the snoozers did not report feeling tired more often, nor did they take more naps than the non-snoozers. 'There may be cases when hitting the snooze button is actually beneficial,' aid Stephen Mattingly, lead author of the study, in the press release.

If it reduces dependence on caffeine, that’s another.
