Swedes Top the Snooze Button List: A New Study Reveals Surprising Sleep Habits

Swedes Lead the World in Snoozing, Study Finds A recent study by Mass General Brigham in the US reveals a surprising statistic: Swedes top the list of people who frequently hit the snooze button on their alarm clocks. The study, based on data from a sleep app, included over 21,000 people worldwide and showed that Swedes, Germans, and Americans were the most likely to snooze. "I set my alarm late, and then I'm so tired that I hit snooze several times," admitted one young woman interviewed on a Stockholm street. Another interviewee, a man, offered a more philosophical perspective: "Everything good in life kills you, but that's what makes life worth living." The study also highlighted the negative effects of snoozing on sleep quality, specifically disrupting REM sleep. The researchers recommend setting alarms for the desired wake-up time and avoiding the temptation to snooze, ensuring a more restorative sleep cycle. The video concludes by advising against snoozing and setting alarms for the desired wake-up time to improve sleep quality.
