Dear Sophy,
To snooze is to sleep for a short amount of time. Kind of like a nap. One example of that is when you hear the alarm clock in the morning but you don't get up right away. You stay in bed for a few extra minutes in sort of a sleeping state until you feel like you are ready to get up. Of course, some people actually fall asleep again and never get up.
