    @franb0l Год назад +7

    This video is great as always Matt but as a 7-4 Monday to Friday employee it isn't super practical! For my 9-5ers, parents, pet owners, etc, if you try no alarms on your off days (if you get those) but end up oversleeping that's from a BAD SLEEP AVERAGE! Your body is trying to make up for lost time (and who can blame it!) If you have a poor and inconsistent sleep schedule (5 hrs one day, 2 the next day, 10 the next) you are not going to wake up feeling great with or without the alarm. The consistent hours every night create higher quality sleep and a more pleasant wake up, not the other way around!

  • @sjnunez3
    @sjnunez3 Год назад +6

    Best thing you can do to prevent laying in bed vegetating for an hour after waking up is to move your phone away from the bed. I put mine on a charger across the room. Go back to a traditional alarm, or use a smart device such as an Echo to run your alarm schedule.
    Also, don't change your sleep habits (much) on the weekend; It makes Monday that much more difficult.

If i may suggest a tip, what’s far less annoying than an alarm is the way my parents used to wake up in time, i.e. by setting a clock radio (station). At least you wake up with the sound of music and/or voice(s).

It's true that we have sometimes tight schedules or unexpected events coming up, but it would be optimal just trying to follow some night routines and, when possible, allowing your body to wake up right when it is perfectly rested. We should try to be less dependent on electronica devices and pay more attention to what nature tries to tell us.
