Sleep Experts say, ‘Don’t Use the Snooze Button’
November 15, 2012 Getting an extra couple of minutes of sleep in the morning by hitting the snooze button seems like a good idea but doctors are saying, 'Don’t use the snooze.' Some people hit the snooze button 3 or 4 times in the morning giving them and ‘extra’ 15 or 20 minutes of sleep, or so they think. Sleep expert Dr. Neil Stanley explains like this; ‘If you hit the snooze button you may go back into a deep sleep and you’re not supposed to wake up from a deep sleep, you’re supposed to pass to the lighter preparation stage first, then you open your eyes. So snoozing creates a huge shock to the body and it makes you feel awful’.
