Is it actually bad to wake up abruptly to an alarm clock?

706 views

Today I installed a new alarm app to help my snooze-addiction. It worked, because it used loud sounds that woke me up instantly and abruptly and I needed to get out of bed to turn them off. I noticed that the sudden loud alarm sound got my heartrate up like crazy. Is it bad for my health? Thanks.

I would not recommend anything harsh like that. Caused me serious issues.

Get dimmable smart lights and google mini or amazon echo. Set up gentle wake to begin 30 min before your alarm clock. This will turn your lights on at 1% and increase them gradually over 30 minutes. Have your alarm be something gentle that increases in volume.

I used to have issues like you, and my old superloud alarm caused me to be very angry in the mornings. Now I’m usually up 5-10min before the alarm even starts due to the lights.
