Id thst true though? I have always thought that, that was a myth because it doesn't really make sense to me

I don't have any scientific evidence, but an extra 5-10 minutes of sleep before being woken again isn't enough to provide any benefit. Better to set the alarm for when you mean to wake up and leave it at that

Personally I set three alarms over the course of ten minutes just in case, but usually I'm either fully awake after the first one or tired enough to sleep through all three
