You Become A Loser
Granted that we are able to sleep for few minutes after the alarm clock rings. It feels so good, right? Yes because during the onset of sleep, our body produces serotonin which produces satisfying feeling, no wonder why we hit the snooze and sink our self to sleep again. But here is the catch: your body will confused itself later on in the long run to produce what type of neurotransmitters that match with the time either time to wake or time to hit the bed. If serotonin produces good feeling during sleep, dopamine is being released during time of before getting awake because this acts as sleep suppressant.The Logic
So if your body produces serotonin and dopamine because of irregular sleep-awake-pattern, your body become a cocktail of neurotransmitter that gives you the feeling of exhaustion and disorientation. During our sleep, we go to two important phases of sleep which are deep sleep and Rapid Eye Movement (REM). Deep sleep occurs during the early night when our brain is processing the activities we experience the whole day while REM provides plain rest. This pattern is disturbed if we keep on hitting the button to sleep again then wake up afterward thus makes less receptive to memorial function during the day especially if we wake up during the REM phase.The Cheat
Snooze might rather be compared to nap because according to study, a 20-minute of sleep gives a some sort of refreshment feeling, so we can trick our mind by snoozing the alarm to a less than 20 minutes in order to minimize the bad effect because nap that is done during the day is effective and not during actual sleep like in night.Source
