"Just 10 more minutes"
"Just 10 more minutes"
Then, it's completely past the time you were suppose to wake up!
Personally, whenever I have to wake up early, I set an alarm an hour ahead of when I have to wake up, so I get "an extra hour" of sleep.
I thought that was pretty clever, until I saw this video!
Check it out!
If you're too lazy to watch the video, I'll summarize it for you.
Basically, you have a sleep cycle that you go through when you fall asleep. Your body naturally knows when to wake up, but if your alarm clock wakes you up, it cuts off that cycle.
By trying to regain it with "10 more minutes" you're actually harming yourself!
Instead of feeling more rested, you'll get more tired because the sleep cycle begins all over again every time you take "10 more minutes."
So, you might be thinking you're resting more, but you're really only getting sleepier!!
That's pretty crazy.
I actually experienced this today when I used my snooze button to get my "10 more minutes"
I was extremely sleepy after those extra 10 minutes!
After remembering this video, I forced myself to get up.
I must admit it was hard, but I knew it would only get harder.
This was basically me and my bed this morning... except I'm a girl!
STOP PUSHING THAT SNOOZE BUTTON AND GET UP SLEEPY-HEADS!

This was funny and cute to me, made me laugh a little lol!! But its true I just recently learned that hitting the snooze constantly really doesn't satisfy anything lol its completely useless. Now I just literally roll out of bed and hit the floor to finally wake myself up!! Weird huh? I know but its better than that snooze crap lol
ReplyDeleteWow, well now it all makes sense, i never would have thought about this waking up process of sleep, since when I do I am most likely waking up and never with clear thoughts. You have made me turn off all but one of my alarms just right now before i began typing the comment ^_^ not that its a bad thing but now i hope i will be much less tired in the mornings
