So do you guys use an alarm clock to wake you up? I mean I of course used to when I was younger and even you know in past years I used to but I have this level of panic and urgency where it actually really hurts my chest when I use an alarm clock even when I leave it on vibrate. So over the past I want to say two-ish years, three years I've just been waking up when and I wake up and usually I wake up because of other things going on. If there's lawn mowing, if there are birds chirping, that's how I usually wake up. And most importantly, if I sleep at a decent hour, then I'm able to wake up relatively early. So what do you guys do to, you know, wake up? Do you guys use an alarm clock? I just can't use it anymore. It's like really bad. I don't know why, but it's just, It's really bad when I try using one.

I no longer use an actual alarm clock, I just use the alarm clock that's on my phone right now.

So I do have an alarm set at 4:30 AM to go to the gym but sometimes my body just kind of reeks up a little bit before then I go back to sleep and just wait for my alarm but it's it's a little bit of both

I used to but it jarred me awake too much so I have like, it's still an alarm but it's like it plays calming music like little chimes so it wakes me up gently instead of like shocking me awake but I try not to use it. I kind of train my body to wake up at a specific time because I I've tracked how many hours I tend to sleep if I just let my body sleep.

I know what you mean. It can traumatize you, like the alarms. I got the same feeling, maybe not as strong as you described, but I prefer to use vibration on my watch. That's working for me because I need to wake up 3 a.m. once a week or sometimes twice a week so it's not regular, regular things.

So it depends like if I have nothing on the nerve but if I do have like work or something then yeah but not like a traditional alarm clock I just use my phone

Yeah, I'm using an alarm clock and lately I'm really not working out.

No I don't need an alarm clock I don't wake up any later than 8 am on average I wake up at 6:30 am

yeah I use an alarm clock every day

Sometimes, it depends how early I need to get up, but yeah, sometimes I do. So yeah

Yeah, I have to use an alarm clock. I cannot wake up with that one.
