How effective is Snoozing our alarms in the morning? Does it make us more awake?

I think that's the wrong question to be asking. The proper question is "how effective is sleeping"? The goal is to wake up in between sleep cycles, rather than to interrupt a sleep cycle--which is what snoozing does. 

Snoozing your alarm is allowing yourself to enter the first portion of a sleep cycle and then abruptly be pulled out of it, so while it may not be detrimental to your awakeness, it doesn't add as much as it would if you slept straight through an additional cycle (talking to the guy who says he snoozes for two hours). If you only snooze for 30 minutes or so, it's just wasting your time, essentially.
