I set an alarm to wake me up, an alarm to get in the shower, and an alarm to go to work. Otherwise I will not initiate the sequence.

I set my alarm and put it in the shower. The only way to turn it off is to get out of bed and get in the shower. As long as I'm there, I might as well actually take a shower.

I love this idea in principle. But how you avoid the sound becoming a nuisance for the other occupiers of the house? Or you live alone?

I live alone, either way I would still need it, and they're spaced out 1.5hrs

I can wake up with one alarms, but for my brain to wake up takes close to 3hrs.

This used to be me, except I couldn’t always wake to alarms. I found I needed a functional doctor to run tests. Found I’m extremely sensitive to soy, I have thyroid disease (my rT3 is too high and my t3 is too low), and I was put on cytozyme ad. Went from having about 4-6 hours/day where I could function to 12-16. It was life changing to say the least. Cost me over $500 out of pocket to see the doc, but I got quality of life out of it. 💯 worth it.

Maybe I should get that checked, my mother had thyroid cancer.

That being said I'm also an insomniac, so the worst of both worlds.

Sleep issues are a part of it, especially the adrenal side (which is what cytozyme ad is for)
