Among the workers who have to go to work early in the morning, many alarms are set in several minutes to wake up at a fixed time. However, there is a study that sets several alarms like this can cause chronic fatigue. According to a study by Professor of Sleep Medicine at Harvard University, Buxton, the human body releases awakening hormones when it wakes up after hearing an alarm. However, when you turn off the alarm and lie back down, the activity of the awakening hormone is delayed and the adenosine, a substance that causes fatigue, is secreted, making the human body asleep inertial state that is not fully awake from sleep. Sleep inertia usually lasts 30 minutes and 2 hours long. If you wake up in an alarm every few minutes and then fall asleep again, sleep inertia lasts longer. If these are repeated, they can accumulate fatigue and lead to chronic fatigue. "Never press the snooze button." Professor Buxton asks. The snooze button is similar to setting the alarm at interval...

However, if you eat a lot of fruit at this time, blood sugar rises, and the pancreas releases too much insulin to lower blood sugar. If this process is repeated, the function of the pancreas may deteriorate or become damaged, resulting in diabetes.
