** If continuing to use a clock, set it for a relaxing melody.**
I like alarms that start barely audible, then gradually get louder. As a kid on the farm, I awoke to my dad yelling up the stairs, “Get up, we got work to do!!”
My clock alarm works like that, gradually getting louder. But the best kind of alarm is one that PURRS. It doesn't stop. It doesn't give up until nutrients for it are distributed.
Pink Floyd’s “Time” is a nice song to wake up to.
My Dad would raile the window shade, shining the rising sun directly in my face.
That and “Let’s go.”
