The final and fourth stage of the sleep cycle, known as rapid eye movement sleep, is often entered and exited during the final hours of sleep

This phase is especially crucial for digesting memories and stimulating creativity. It could affect brain function if that stage of sleep is broken up

Every time the alarm goes off, she explains, the body goes into a "fight or flight response," which can be considered stressful

Over time, the adrenaline response can cause long-term stress, depression, and cardiovascular problems

The tensions building in your body from a lack of consistent sleep can also contribute to weight gain

Ms Bruss suggested setting only one alarm. "Don't keep traumatizing yourself! When that alarm goes off in the morning, get up!" she said
