can you not change the alarm sound on an iPhone?
This is what got me past using alarms. Wake up before the alarm enough times and you just stop setting them.
Isn’t it amazing that a human can be conditioned to respond behaviorally to a stimulus that requires precision tracking of time and also this occurs while sleeping. ?
I mean think about it.
You wake up 5 min before the alarm goes off. Consistently.
Your brain kept track of the time the whole time you were sleeping. And was able to wake you up at the right moment with a specific thought “turn off the alarm”.
Honestly, conditioning theory is fascinating.
yeah but my brain is a bitch too, and sometimes i wake up, turn off the alarm, and then go back to sleep fully believing my alarm will wake me up
Back in the alarm days of college I used Pink Floyd - Time because the couple seconds of ticking before everything went off would send me into conniptions to prevent the calamity.
Then I found sleepyti.me and now I only use 'em when I can’t/haven’t gone to bed at the right time or really can’t risk missing a plane. Would recommend.
People at work have heard my alarm tone and think its hilarious that as a middle aged man my alarm tone is so flowery and gentle until I explained that being awoken suddenly by a harsh abrasive noise puts me in a very combative and abrasive mood for the next several hours and I come to work 45 minutes after it goes off…
Try Android lol
Reminds me of this funny video exaggerating the difference between default Android and iPhone alarms:
And hear I use an air raid/tornado siren as my alarm noise
All “good” alarms are like this for me. I hate them to much my body itself will wake me up a minute before it goes off.
