Interesting observation but why should you just closely model the physical inspiration when creating applications for screens? Snooze is actually not very helpful even though it feels good in that very moment [1]
Definitely a good point -- however, that article leans more toward the elimination of the snooze function entirely. (Which may indeed be advantageous for sleep!)
If they do choose to include a snooze button, though, I'd prefer they get it right.
