I have always wondered the merit of sleep after the snooze is initially set. I mean -- does your body benefit from this extra 9, 18, or 27 minutes of sleep or would we be the same off if we just got out of bed? Or as someone stated above -- if the longer length of time is beneficial then why not just reset your alarm, time permitting, to a new specified time, say 30 minutes down the road...?
