Days of Your Life Spent Snoozing

A few minutes each morning does not feel like much. Stretched across a lifetime, it becomes weeks, then months. See your number.

Your habit

Minutes you snooze per day: 10

Your age now: 30

Started snoozing at age: 16

Live until age: 80

The rest of your life

You will spend about

127 days

hitting snooze over the rest of your life. That is about 4 months of lying half-awake between alarms.

And you have likely already spent around 36 days snoozing so far.

Get those days back

Never snooze again.

The hidden math of the snooze button

Ten minutes of snoozing a day sounds harmless. But it happens every morning, for decades. At ten minutes a day, you spend more than 60 hours a year in that fragmented, low-quality sleep, and across a lifetime it adds up to months of your life spent neither asleep nor awake.

And that time is the worst kind of time: not restful sleep and not productive waking. It is the groggy in-between that often leaves you more tired than if you had just gotten up.

You cannot get those days back, but you can stop losing new ones. Last Alarm replaces the snooze button with a task you have to complete to turn the alarm off, so getting up becomes the only option.
