Why is there a snooze button if it's bad for sleep habits?Updated a year ago

Hanna (our sleepy leader) battles chronic insomnia. While developing Arc, we learned the best practices for working through insomnia via her CBT-i programs (CBT-i is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia - think physical therapy for insomnia). One of the key learnings was that it's important to celebrate progress over perfection when working to build a sleep routine. We learned that the majority of people rely on a snooze button. We also learned from user testing that people are more likely to go back to their phones as an alarm if we remove the snooze button.
