Hi,

I saw this on Slate.com and liked the graphics so I am sharing.

Don’t Hit the Snooze Button (2:20 minutes)
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/..._explains.html


The body begins preparing an hour before you naturally wake up . . ..

. . .temperature becomes higher . . . ..
. . . hormones such as dopamaine and cortisol are released, . . . .

===========
. . . this groggy and tired state is known as Sleep Inertia . . . .
. . Fragmented sleep is less restorative . . . .
=============
My sleep doc has explained this. So has pdoc.
But I have NEVER used a snooze alarm. Those are against nature!!!! One time I had to room with some one for a few days in college who used a snooze alarm. I am really suprised that I allowed her to live (that was back in the day when I was strong, capable of anger, and impulsive).

Thank you, Mari,

that was interesting!

I think apart from gravitating towards night-wakefulness, my body also has a natural 25(ish?) circadian rhythm.

Whenever I reset my schedule and attempt to get up/go to sleep the same time each night i end up going to bed later and later and accordingly waking up later and later and later.

Even though i feel more comfortable being awake at night... my sleep is never 100% stable.

Yes, the 25 hours clock is difficult.
