Question: Lately, I have struggled to get out of bed despite waking up at a decent time to go to my lab. The result is that I fall asleep again and end up going to the lab in about 1-1.5 hours later than I really want to. How do I make myself actually get up when I wake up?
●Ayush Sekhari: Sometimes, I use Sleep If U Can Alarm app on my phone. While setting the alarm, you’re asked to choose how to turn it off. There is an option which says to turn off by using an image. While setting, you can set an image as the off key. When the alarm rings, it forces you to capture a similar image and turns off only if it’s similar to the pre-set image. I have set my turn-off image as a toilet basin, so when I have to turn off the alarm, I have to search for my slippers, walk to the toilet and click the image of the basin. This is annoying, but wakes me up.
●Aditya Deorha: I use Alarm Clock Plus on my phone. I have to solve a maths problem in order to turn off the alarm. Right now, it’s at medium difficulty. Once I set it to the hard level, I really have to work hard to figure it out. You just can’t sleep again after that.
●Shivam Agrawal: I use Flying Alarm. This digital alarm clock launches a rotor (旋转体) into the air that flies around the room as the alarm sounds, and it won’t stop ringing until the rotor is returned to the alarm clock base, compelling even the most stubborn sleepers to get out of bed on time.
●Ellen Vrana: We got cats, which is the working person’s version of kids. I get up at 6: 30 a. m. every day. No alarm. So worth it.
