But when I used to work late into the night or struggle to wake up in the mornings (even up to a year ago) these were the problems I faced.
Hitting the snooze button repeatedlyFeeling sluggish during the dayIrritability and annoyance at little things
All of this is a cumulative effort of one problem: Not getting enough sleep.
WHAT IT MEANS
When you hit the snooze button, that means your body is telling you that you didn't get enough rest.

Charge your phone in another room- NOT the bedroom.Invest in an alarm clock OR use a device that is not your phone, as an alarm.Keep the alarm on a table at least 3 feet away from your bed, so you have to physically get out of bed to switch it off.
Sit for a few seconds instead of crawling back into bed.If you are STILL hitting the snooze button after trying these tips, that means you aren't getting enough sleep.
Cut back on activities that keep you awake at night and put the focus back on sleep.
