Snooze alarm use in a global population of smartphone users.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Snooze alarm use is a common, but poorly understood human behavior. We explore the prevalence and characteristics of snooze alarm use in more than 3 million nights collected in a global sample of users of a sleep monitoring smartphone application. On the nights that participants logged a sleep session, more than half (55.6%) of the sessions ended with a snooze alarm. Of the sleep sessions ending with snooze alarm, snooze alarm was pressed on average 2.4 times (95% CI: 2.4-2.5) and the average duration of snooze alarm use was 10.8 minutes (95% CI: 10.7-10.9). We observed significantly more snooze alarm use in women as compared to men. Long sleep sessions (> 9 h) were more likely to end with snooze alarm use than recommended duration (7 to 9 h) or short (< 7 h) sleep sessions. Sleepers who went to bed earlier used snooze alarm less, while those who went to bed later than usual used the snooze alarm more. Future research is needed to understand the impact of snooze alarm use on daytime performance.
