It’s a shock. Your body isn’t awake, so it’s not happy about being woken up. Hormones are set for sleep, everything’s still in sleep mode.

If you struggle with alarms.

Get a light alarm.

Because they emulate a sunrise, they trigger the “the sun is rising” hormones so you wake fairly naturally, and not grumpy 99% of the time.
