A snooze button is a feature found on alarm clocks that allows the user to temporarily stop the alarm from making noise for a short time so that they can rest for a few more minutes. When the snooze button is pressed, the alarm is reset to sound again after a set period of time, usually around 9 minutes. This delayed waking process is called a "snooze" function. However, snoozing the alarm can be harmful to sleep quality and can confuse the bodys circadian rhythm, leading to feelings of grogginess and tiredness. It is recommended to establish a consistent sleep schedule and avoid using the snooze button to improve sleep quality.
