However, it is difficult to get an ideal sleep for various reasons. For example, if sleep apnea occurs, the sleep cycle will be disturbed and recovery will not be obtained.

You can extend the sleep time a little by pressing the snooze button when you are tired from the alarm of the alarm clock or if you think you're out of bed by all means.
