I think what contributes the most to that bad habit is dependency on alarm clock app in our smartphones.

I need to finally buy two alarm clocks with snooze and weekly schedule.



i've been working from home for the past 10 years and for the past 10ish months i just stopped using an alarm clock. work is flexible enough that as long as i'm up before midday, i won't miss any meetings.

it has been such a pleasure to wake up when my body tells me it's time to wake up!

also, i found that after giving up alarm clocks, i'm waking up between 7:30~8am naturally which is perfect.


I bought an alarm clock last year and its been huge for my mental health/morning routine. Now my day starts exactly how I want it. No phone. Straight to exercise.


If you have an old dumb-phone without a sim-card you can use it as an alarm instead. For me it turned out to be cheaper and better!


Should uninstall any browsers too :)
