(I still have a back-up alarm on my phone though.) It's a light that gradually gets brighter over the course of a half-hour and then it sounds an audible alarm at the end. The light's enough to get me awake enough to realize that my alarm is going off.","subreddit_name":"educationalgifs","author":"AlfredoEinsteino"},{"body":"\r\n\r\nBuy one of these.\r\n\r\nPhilips Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock with Colored Sunrise Simulation and Sunset Fading Night Light, with 3 Months Free Headspace Subscription, White (HF3520) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093162RM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_iep1Bb1KEMFS8\r\n\r\n\r\nYou are welcome.\r\n\r\nThis will make it much easier to become a morning person.\r\n\r\nAlso, in addition to alarms set on this, i have alarms set on my iPhone AND my ipad which charges in my EDC bag at the foot of the bed. When my iPad goes off, I’m forced to get out of bed to silence it.\r\n\r\nYou could also just keep your phone on the other side of the room, which would prevent you staying on it too long (or at all) at night before bed, and forcing you to get out of bed to grab it when it goes off.\r\n\r\nGood luck!","subreddit_name":"productivity","author":"WarSport223"},{"body":"I love mine. Its far less jarring to wake up to, the light being on helps me not fall back asleep and get out of bed. I used to use just a lamp on a timer as others have suggested, and it did work, but the lamp turns on suddenly and would occasionally wake me up early. The gradual increase in light only woke me up early right at the beginning. Now I wake up when the alarm sounds (which is a gentle bird chirping, very peaceful) and feel pretty good.\r\n\r\n[link](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093162RM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_GVF3C83HSRK0P1FDXDVT?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)","subreddit_name":"Doineedthis","author":"klbstaples"},{"body":"If you have stimulants, setting an alarm to take your meds about an hour before you wake up can help a lot.\r\n\r\nSimilarly, recently someone recommended keeping a piece of fruit or something else breakfast-y on your nightstand, and start eating it as soon as your alarm goes off. I've found it to be pretty helpful. (I also leave tea or coffee. No, I don't mind cold tea or coffee, but I tend to make them pretty sweet.)\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's an investment, but I use a wake up light and it's done wonders for my sleep schedule. For 40 minutes before your alarm, it has a very strong light which gradually brightens the room, which makes you wake up far more gradually.

(Make sure you do some research into the cheaper ones - if the light isn't bright enough at its peak, or if it's not gradual enough, it won't be very effective.)","subreddit_name":"ADHD","author":"rumourmaker18"},{"body":"Yeah no problem, it's [this one here](https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Simulation-Headspace-Subscription-HF3520/dp/B0093162RM)\r\n\r\nUnfortunately it's a bit of an investment as you can see! Basically it fills your bedroom with 'natural' light gradually (over 20 mins or so), to simulate waking up to a sunrise. And then it can do the same at night time, where it'll fade out to help you sleep to a sunset.\r\n\r\nAnd it's got birdsong, radio, gentle tunes etc to wake you up. I'd recommend it, but it works best when you sleep in a dark room, not sure how effective it would be in a room like this with those blinds, but I could be wrong. Also it works as a bedside lamp too, with levels of brightness if you need that.","subreddit_name":"malelivingspace","author":"itypeallmycomments"},{"body":"Oops sorry for the late reply.

It's really cool looking on my nightstand and it serves as a pretty functional lamp tbh. It has good settings.

It simulates a natural sunrise about 30 minutes before the alarm goes off, so it wakes your body gradually. You can even have it play bird songs and other shift noises that grow in volume over time.\r\n\r\nThe one downside is that the light did get rather bright (at its highest setting--it's adjustable) and may wake your partner up. I just build a pillow wall between my wife and I and that mitigates that problem a bit.\r\n\r\nReally, though, I don't know how I survived without it.\r\n\r\nPhilips Wake-Up Light with Colored Sunrise Simulation alarm clock \u0026amp; sunset fading night light, White HF3520 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093162RM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5ojmAb69HM589\r\n\r\nThis one is about $110 on Amazon right now.

The main difference is this one has colors. Also this one supposedly never needs to have the bulb replaced. I've been using mine for almost 8 years and it is amazing in every way. You do have to adjust to waking up to light instead of a jarring noise, but since this is what your body is programed to do, it's not as hard as you think.\r\n\r\nI also agree with one of the other posts about drinking water before bed.
