1 Minute Hack: Alarm Clock

1 Minute Hack: Alarm Clock

If you are constantly hitting your snooze button every morning, try putting your alarm clock across the room. I know what it’s like, you are very warm and cosy, and your well-intentioned plan of getting up early, to start ticking off your to-do list items, seems to disappear as the thought of leaving your warm bed comes up. 

If the alarm clock is across the room, when the alarm goes off, you will need to leave your bed and move across the room to turn it off. Once you are out of your bed, you are less likely to go back to sleep, as your body and mind will start to wake up as you stand up, and the warm sleepy cocoon you have made for yourself is broken and the fresh air starts to wake you up.

If your alarm clock is near your bed, it is too easy and tempting to simply, stay warm, flick the snooze button and go back to sleep. If you need to get out of bed, the fresh air will start waking you up and once up, you’ll stay up and start chasing your goals and achieving things in your day!

It is very easy to set, the light is touch activated, the alarm is very loud and repetitive and you can’t sleep through it. Well worth using to make sure you get up earlier!

About the Author
I’m a podcaster who interviews great examples of people to discuss and highlight the methods, hacks, tips and procedures you can use in your own life to help you develop and better your life. I would definitely not consider myself an expert, so to improve, I ask them and action it in my own life! My personal journey has been marked by awkwardness and awesomeness, OCD and ‘OMG’. I have suffered with depression, shyness, unhappiness and lack of focus and motivation so I know what’s it like to feel lost and hopeless. Back then, I wished I had a podcast to listen to and find actual fixes and concrete action steps and not just unobtainable suggestions and promotion of their products but couldn’t find it … so I made my own!
