DW: Do people actually pay for these studies? I'm in the wrong business...
A new study published in the journal “Sleep” says that people who use an alarm clock to wake up are more tired than people that wake up naturally. According to researchers at the University of Notre Dame, 57% of fully employed, salaried workers hit snooze on their alarms at least once in the mornings.
The study included 450 adult participants and found that the ones who hit snooze on their alarms had more sleep disturbances, and those that woke up without an alarm slept longer and drank less caffeine. Women were also 50% more likely to hit snooze. Participants got the same amount of sleep, but snoozers took more naps and felt more tired.
