Smart lights to wake you up in the morning. Vastly prefer it to a normal alarm clock.

On a similar note, I have an alarm clock that has a thing I can put under my pillow that vibrates to wake me up. (The box said it's made for Deaf people, which makes sense lol). As someone who doesn't wake up to ANYTHING, this works for me almost every time.

Is the vibrating of your phone not enough to wake you? I just use my phone as an alarm clock and keep it by my pillow. All my alarms are set to vibrate so it doesn't wake my husband.

The phone vibrating on the bed doesn't wake me up, nor does the sound at full volume. And the alarm clock is super aggressive lol. It has 15 levels, and I turn it up all the way. The whole mattress be shaking

That is some super deep sleeping you got going on. 😅

This doesn't work for everyone obviously, but I leave my blinds open at night so that the sun will wake me up. Works for me when I don't have to be anywhere before noon.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah the further north you get the less this works on both sides of the sleep unfortunately

A sunrise alarm clock will do the trick, too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had one before but the light was so weak and if you were sleeping on the side with the back of your head towards it, it did nothing. Though to be fair I do have a smart light in my nightstand lamp to do the same, but it is more like extra.

There's better and worse ones, obviously. Mine is so bright it lights up the entire room by itself.
