Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Need multiple alarms to wake up in the morning? Here’s what could be
happening, according to experts
Some people use a snooze button or multiple alarm settings to wake up
in the morning, say 10 minutes, another 10 minutes, and finally, they get up
after 10 or 20 minutes of “extra” sleep. But is this a good habit? Actually,
this is not “extra” sleep but “interrupted” sleep, which undermines one’s sleep
quality because the last hours of sleep are essential to refresh brain
function. If you have difficulty waking up with the first alarm, you might not
have gotten enough sleep, or your daily schedule doesn’t match your internal
body clock. If you’re sleep-deprived, you need to turn off your smartphone and go
to bed earlier unless you can get up later. If you’re a night owl but still
need to get up early, you want to shift your body clock gradually to match the
required daily schedule or change the job. Ideally, your body clock matches
your daily routine, and you get up even before the ugly alarm sound goes off. If
you still need to rely on your alarm, try to get up with just one alarm to maximize
your sleep time.
Read the article and learn how to sleep better and longer without hearing
multiple alarm sounds.
