DID YOU KNOW? Why the snooze of your alarm is set to 9 minutes?

Most smart phones have set the snooze alarm…
(snooze button) in the 9-minute, time limit that you can of course customize then you, depending on your needs. But why he has chosen this odd, random number?
In accordance with the network i100 in the Independent, this choice was made in the 1950s and was of a purely practical nature. Although it has not been proven that you need nine minutes to “fill up” extra sleep (on the contrary, most research shows that it is best not to use the option of deferment), the more modern alarm clocks and smart phones regulate automatically the snooze button, nine minutes.
According to the Independent, when the decade of the 1950’s, the watchmakers added for the first time, the mechanism of postponement of the watches, found that to fit the mechanism should not exceed 9.5 minutes. For this reason, I chose to adjust automatically the postponement in 9 minutes.
Today, in modern watches there is no restriction of space and -literally – time. However, the manufacturers choose either randomly, or for reasons of tradition to regulate the snooze button is 9 minutes.
