I dont know what community to post this in but here goes. I made my alarm clock in the morning birds chirping, because I like birds and thought it would be a good sound to wake up to. Wrong. The sound of birds chirping now gives me anxiety :deeper-sadness: because I hate waking up. This morning I awoke to the sounds of birds outside by window an hour before my alarm is set to go off. My other alarm sounds are really fucking weird and I dont like them. I hate it here.
Yeah, I find that noise-based alarms tend to fuck with my anxiety too
Which is why I bought a cheap sunrise alarm clock
It's basically just a lamp with a soft light that turns on at the allotted time and gets brighter and brighter until you turn it off
It's a lot less stressful than being jolted awake by noises
i second this. waking up to increasing light levels is way less shit than sound. i have a failsafe for a sound alarm on my phone which plays random music, which i've only ever needed like once in the last 7 months. that morning, i was like wiped out from staying up way too late to watch some bullshit movie. it went off and started with Gunship's Tech Noir, which has this spoken word part with this guy saying (in scratchy radio transmission):
which snapped me out of bed immediately and put me on full WTF alert until i recognized it and started laughing.
I do this by sleeping near the window
My bedroom doesn't get any sunshine because whoever designed my house is in league with the dread lord Nocticulon
I hate how that guy has such a hold over the construction industry
yeah that fucks with my brain

Yeah it doesn't work that well for me either, the sun often comes up around 6am which really interferes with my sleep
Do you a link to where I could look at one of those. Sounds pretty neat.
Here you go
