Why Hitting the Snooze Button is Bad for Your Mental Health / When the alarm goes off, it’s time to wake up. Do not ever (EVER!) hit the snooze button again. You’re completely screwing up your day when you do this for the following reasons:

✅Snoozing ruins the behavioral conditioning between the stimulus (your alarm) and the response (getting your butt out of bed).
✅When you hit snooze and start to fall back asleep your body gears up for another full cycle of sleep. When the second alarm jerks you awake during the beginning of your next sleep cycle, that incomplete cycle leaves you with something called sleep inertia grogginess for hours after you get up. This makes you feel more tired, for longer, than you would have been had you just gotten out of bed.
✅This sleep inertia grogginess also creates lapses in thinking, planning and judgment and diminishes your emotional regulation
✅Lastly, this is your first commitment of the day and you’re not keeping it so now your word to yourself means nothing. “Oh, I promised to eat healthy today? No need to keep to that, I don’t keep promises to myself or trust what I say.”

A little pro tip for helping you get up? Use a real alarm clock instead of your phone. ⏰
