»įor many people (this writer included), waking out of a deep sleep to the sound of a blaring iPhone alarm is not the most peaceful way to start the day. My name is Jehos, and I used to be a snoozer.We’ve recently re-reviewed all of our top sunrise alarm clock picks and added new feedback from the testers in our lab – so you can rest easy that if it’s on this list, we’ve personally tested it and stand by its recommendation. Same bed time and same waking time every single day, and your only slight problem times will be when daylight savings changes. If you get up at 7:30 on weekdays then stay up godawful late on the weekends and sleep in until noon, you'll never get used to waking up at 7:30. Oh, and it's not critical, but don't switch your wake-up time on the weekends. If I do #1 and #2, it takes me about 90 seconds to wake up fully and roll out of bed. If I forget to set it, I feel like ass when I get up. Having a light on makes a huge difference. That lamp dims on over 90 seconds when the alarm goes off. I bought a Stem TimeCommand alarm clock that lets me mount an iPad and hook up to a lamp on my night stand. If I don't, I end up snoozing my alarm several times and feeling like ass when I get up. For me, it means going to bed around 9pm every night. #1 means fixing your apnea, going to bed early, make sure you don't have things that wake you up, whatever. There are two very simple keys to getting up in the morning: I kept up the habit and I roll out of bed now between 5am and 5:15am, if I've snoozed once. I used to be a snoozer and couldn't make it to work on time half the time by 8am.Ĭurrent job I didn't want to lose, and after hurting my back I started getting up ridiculously early to have time to stretch it out. Even if the cycle stuff is bupkus, which it very well could be, just seeing the data of when I'm in bed has helped me get more sleep. It also gives you a bunch of whiz-bang charts on length and quality of sleep, which is actually the best feature for me. You can select from a variety of mellow or upbeat alarm sounds, and also sounds that it will play to help lull you to sleep. If you assume all sleep is equal, you would think the extra 19 minutes would be better, but this lab's premise is that it's more important to wake from light sleep than to get that extra 19 minutes and have to wake from deep sleep. If you're going down into deep sleep, it will just wake you at 6:30, and you'll (supposedly) have a harder time. If it senses that you're trending up into light sleep, it might wake you at 6:11. The counter-intuitive part, that might help your BF, is that you may actually wake up easier, and more refreshed, with a few minutes less sleep.įor example, you can tell it to wake you up between 6:00 and 6:30, and it checks in to see where you are. It uses the motion sensor to calculate the ideal time to wake you up out of your natural sleep cycle (we go from light to deep and back to light again several times per night, typically on cycles of 1 - 1.5 hours). I dropped $2 on a sleep app for my phone. I've had mine for about 8 or 9 years and I'm currently on my third replacement alarm disc. It's not that big of a deal, and I make sure to check it every once in a while now. The only real criticism I have is that the wiring into the alarm disc is prone to breaking off at the connector after a few years of use. It's also supposed to be quite loud, but since my hearing is really bad and I live in a large apartment complex, I've never tried using the audible alert, and have it turned all the way down to make sure I don't accidentally enable it. As a bonus, it doesn't tend to wake up my wife, or at least not right away - it's fairly localized to your pillow. It is very difficult to sleep through it when it goes off right under your pillow. I use one of the Sonic Alert alarms myself - a variation on the SB200ss - with the vibrating alarm disc shoved into my pillowcase. I'm profoundly deaf, and have tended in the past to be a heavy sleeper (less so these days, but I'm still difficult to wake up).
