On: New Office Hours Aim for Well Rested, More Productive Workers

I've never understood the snooze button. Either it's time to get up or it's not.

I find it INCREDIBLY difficult to wake from sleep. As do many others, apparently.

Getting enough sleep is a first step, but we know most people do not -- so very few are in the great position you are to treat it as a 100% conscious choice to snooze or not to snooze.

The point is if you have the time to snooze for an hour, would you not get better sleep by just setting your alarm an hour later?

No. I can naturally wake up after 6 or so hours of sleep on weekends when I go to sleep at 4am, but the entire work week I have to ease myself up with a few hits of the snooze button, even after 7-8 hours.

(My snooze is also set to 5 minutes, not an hour)
