Just an anecdote:
My alarm clock has a 30 minute pre-alarm (starting very softly with nature noises, never reaching maxing out at 10%), then it starts calm music going from 10% to 80% over 10 minutes. It’s very relaxing to me to wake up like this.
I used to sleep without an alarm clock (work from home and more or less free work starting times) and I usually felt far more tired during the day.
In addition, I used to have trouble falling asleep, now I’m gone 5-10 minutes after I put the book down.
I now usually sleep 6h a night, with once or twice 7.5h (I can tell if my body thinks I need more sleep that night). I’ve often read that 6h is not enough, but ever since I changed it like this, I’m simply far more energized and have no crash during the day.
- chupchap 6y agoThat's awesome! Which alarm are you using?
- theshrike79 6y agoI use Sleep Cycle on my phone. It tries to detect a shallower phase of sleep by analyzing sounds and vibrations and will start to slowly wake you up when appropriate. You can give it a timeframe when you want to wake up so you won't oversleep.
- Semaphor 6y agoGentle Alarm (Android). It doesn’t exist anymore though, the listing and the dev’s site both vanished, and it required manually patching the APK to make it work on Android 10. If someone has a good replacement, I elaborated on my requirements here [0], so far I have found nothing that can replace it :/ [0]: https://old.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/jvbsuz/looking_for_alarm_app_set_alarm_in_xhym_volume/ https://old.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/jvbsuz/looking...
