I set so many alarms and reminders.

Alarms to get up. Alarms to tell me to go to bed. Alarms to time my lunch break. Alarms to remind me I'm making tea. Calendar reminders to put the bins out and to pay bills. A timer to go off to make me start a task. A timer to make me stop a task.

And yet I am still able to snooze them all.

Hitting Snooze Could Actually Give Your Brain a Cognitive Boost

Hitting the snooze button in the mornings might not be as bad for us as previously thought, according to new research.

Hitting the snooze button in the mornings might not be as bad for us as previously thought, according to new research. In fact, for some people, it might even improve levels of cognitive performance. Previous studies have looked at the damage snoozing can do to our sleep patterns, suggesting that mini-cycles of five or ten minutes aren't great for our body. However, researchers at Stockholm University in Sweden and Monash University in Australia, challenge that idea in a recent study. They looked at 31 habitual snoozers in lab conditions, and found that 30 minutes of bonus snoozing either had no affect or actually improved their cognitive abilities on a task undertaken immediately after waking, compared to regular snoozers who were forced to rise abruptly. "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," says sleep scientist Tina Sundelin from Stockholm University.

Snoozing your alarm is like temporal Russian roulette. At the push of a button you may well experience a century, millennium, epoch of dream saga condensed into 5 brief but restful minutes wherein empires rise and fall, whole planets form from the swirling chaos to be populated by little weird guys or an entire life long love story plays out in excruciating detail.

Or, you push the button and BANG! gonna be late for work.
