Alicia Roth

Alicia Roth is a behavioral sleep medicine psychologist who has contributed significantly to the understanding of sleep habits and their impact on health. Recently, she has been in the news for her insights on the common practice of hitting the snooze button on alarms. Roth's research suggests that while many believe delaying the alarm negatively affects sleep quality, new studies indicate that it may not be as harmful as previously thought, particularly for those who experience a strong need for extra sleep. She emphasizes the importance of individual sleep needs and the potential implications of frequently hitting the snooze button, which may be indicative of underlying sleep disorders.
