I Tried 8 Ways To Stop Hitting Snooze. Only One Actually Worked.
There is a reason your mornings feel rushed even when you set the alarm early. You are a snoozer.
For six years I set my alarm for six o’clock. I got up at twenty to seven.
The strange part is I always felt more tired at twenty to seven than I did at six. I knew that. I did it anyway, every morning, for six years.
So I tried to stop. I moved my phone across the room. I bought the loudest clock I could find. Then a sunrise lamp. I tried the app that gives your money away. I put the coffee machine on a timer. I went to bed an hour earlier. I asked a friend to ring me at six. And I asked my girlfriend to hide the phone until I was standing up.
Eight tries. I beat every one of them before I was properly awake. And there is a specific reason why.
Here is the one thing that actually worked. And why.
1. I Got Up On The First One.
The alarm went at six. I sat up at one minute past.
I did not argue with it. By the time I was awake enough to argue, I was already sitting up.
Six years of getting up at twenty to seven. That morning I was up at one minute past six.

2. My Morning Stopped Being A Sprint.
I used to do the whole morning in eleven minutes. Shoes on the stairs. Coffee in the car.
Now I make the coffee in a cup. I drink it standing in my own kitchen.
Same alarm. Same bedtime. I just got the forty minutes back.

3. It Was Never Willpower. There Was Nothing To Press.
Every alarm I owned offered me the same deal. Nine more minutes?
This one has no snooze. One button, and it ends the alarm. There is no nine minutes to take.
And it does not buzz once and quit. It gets stronger until you are actually up.

I was skeptical too. But you get 100 days to send it back, and if it does not wake you up, you do not pay.

4. Going To Bed Earlier Did Not Fix It.
I tried it for a month. I was in bed by ten. I still snoozed.
Then I read a study of three million mornings. People who slept nine hours snoozed more. More than the people who slept under seven.*
Being tired was never the problem. Six o’clock was.

5. “I Will Just Turn It Off.”
You can. But turning it off is not the same as snoozing it.
There is no nine minutes waiting for you. Off is off, and you are awake when you do it.
It also sits on your skin and climbs through three levels. Nothing to walk to. Nothing to swipe.

6. The Forty Minutes I Never Counted.
Coat open. Toast in my teeth. Sorry to somebody before nine.
The average snoozer gives away about 324 minutes a month. That is a full six hour night, in five minute pieces.*
I thought that was who I was. It was forty minutes.
Yes, I want those minutes back →
7. What I Tried. What Finally Worked.
The loudest clock. A sunrise lamp. A coffee timer. An earlier bedtime. Two people helping.
I beat every one of them before I was properly awake.
One buzz that keeps climbing did what none of them could. You get 100 days to find out. If it does not wake you, you do not pay.
Yes, wake me on the first alarm →
