Abstract

Snooze alarm use is a common, but poorly understood human behavior. We explore the prevalence and characteristics of snooze alarm use in more than 3 million nights collected in a global sample of users of a sleep monitoring smartphone application. On the nights that participants logged a sleep session, more than half (55.6%) of the sessions ended with a snooze alarm. Of the sleep sessions ending with snooze alarm, snooze alarm was pressed on average 2.4 times (95% CI: 2.4-2.5) and the average duration of snooze alarm use was 10.8 minutes (95% CI: 10.7-10.9). We observed significantly more snooze alarm use in women as compared to men. Long sleep sessions (> 9 h) were more likely to end with snooze alarm use than recommended duration (7 to 9 h) or short (< 7 h) sleep sessions. Sleepers who went to bed earlier used snooze alarm less, while those who went to bed later than usual used the snooze alarm more. Future research is needed to understand the impact of snooze alarm use on daytime performance.

全球智能手机用户的闹铃使用情况。

使用止闹闹钟是一种常见的人类行为，但人们对这种行为知之甚少。我们从一个睡眠监测智能手机应用程序的全球用户样本中收集了300多万个夜晚，探索了小睡闹钟使用的普遍性和特征。在参与者记录睡眠时间的晚上，超过一半（55.6%）的睡眠时间以贪睡闹钟结束。在以止闹结束的睡眠时段中，止闹平均被按2.4次（95% CI: 2.4-2.5），使用止闹的平均持续时间为10.8分钟（95% CI: 10.7-10.9）。我们观察到女性使用闹钟的次数明显多于男性。与建议的睡眠时间（7 - 9小时）或较短的睡眠时间（7 - 9小时）相比，长时间睡眠（10 - 9小时）结束时更有可能使用贪睡闹钟。

期刊介绍： We publish original research from all areas of the natural sciences, psychology, medicine and engineering. You can learn more about what we publish by browsing our specific scientific subject areas below or explore Scientific Reports by browsing all articles and collections. Scientific Reports has a 2-year impact factor: 4.380 (2021), and is the 6th most-cited journal in the world, with more than 540,000 citations in 2020 (Clarivate Analytics, 2021). •Engineering Engineering covers all aspects of engineering, technology, and applied science. It plays a crucial role in the development of technologies to address some of the world''s biggest challenges, helping to save lives and improve the way we live. •Physical sciences Physical sciences are those academic disciplines that aim to uncover the underlying laws of nature — often written in the language of mathematics. It is a collective term for areas of study including astronomy, chemistry, materials science and physics. •Earth and environmental sciences Earth and environmental sciences cover all aspects of Earth and planetary science and broadly encompass solid Earth processes, surface and atmospheric dynamics, Earth system history, climate and climate change, marine and freshwater systems, and ecology. It also considers the interactions between humans and these systems. •Biological sciences Biological sciences encompass all the divisions of natural sciences examining various aspects of vital processes. The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants. •Health sciences The health sciences study health, disease and healthcare. This field of study aims to develop knowledge, interventions and technology for use in healthcare to improve the treatment of patients.
