While most alarm clocks use beeps or music to wake you up, others bathe you in light or vibrate to rouse you. Lots of people may opt for an alarm that doesn't rely on sound to wake them up: Those who are deaf or hard of hearing, earplug wearers, or someone who's trained themselves to sleep through buzzing.
Many people are also on different schedules than their partners or roommates and don't want to disturb them. Their needs may be different than someone who can't hear an alarm clock but could feel an intense vibration, for example.
If your goal is a completely silent wake-up, the Philips SmartSleep Connected light might work for you. Before your alarm is scheduled to go off, it dimly lights up then gradually brightens as your wake-up time approaches. There are sound options, too, if you need them, including FM radio.
You can increase the brightness level (or fully go without the light if you prefer). It gets pretty intense, which you might need if you're a deep sleeper. I found that I wasn't disturbed by the light when it was on my partner's nightstand if I was facing the other direction. But if your partner is a light sleeper, they may wake up from the brightness.
Almost everything about the SmartSleep Connected is customizable. You can set over a dozen alarms with different light hues; several sound options, from waves to birds to Nepal bowls; and varying snooze lengths. You can choose how long before your alarm goes off you want the wake-up cycle to begin, between 5 and 40 minutes.
Because the Charge 5 is also a sleep tracker, it monitors when you go to bed and get up. I didn't find this perfectly accurate (it said I was awake for much longer than I was one night), but it still offered some useful insights.
There's an optional "smart wake" feature on the alarm that will detect when you're in a lighter stage of your sleep cycle and will wake you up then, up to 30 minutes before your alarm is scheduled to go off. This is supposed to make you feel less groggy than if you woke from a deeper sleep.
The Charge 5 is one of Insider Reviews' favorite Fitbits. It's especially good for fitness and sleep tracking. If you don't need as many bells and whistles, the brand's other wearables have similar vibrating alarms. The Fitbit Inspire 2 is a great budget option.
Despite the name, the Sonic Bomb Extra-Loud Alarm Clock doesn't solely rely on sound to wake you up. Put the puck-like shaker under your mattress, and the vibration will almost certainly jolt you awake.
It's not exactly a pleasant way to wake up, and the vibration isn't silent either. But for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, a physical alarm that isn't sound-based could be useful if a light-based alarm isn't reliable enough.
If you sleep with a partner in your bed, there's a good chance this alarm will wake them up too. Even with a very thick mattress, I could feel the alarm buzzing from the other side of the bed. The resulting sound wasn't very muffled, either.
I liked that this alarm was pretty customizable for the price. You can wake up with just the vibration or a buzzing sound or combine them. The tone of the buzzer can be changed, and you can opt to turn the flashing lights on or off.
For those who like to fall asleep to music or podcasts and wake up with sound cues, a comfortable pair of sleep headphones can be a great solution. AcousticSheep's SleepPhones are breathable and washable and can go days without you needing to charge them.
However, I did need to download a third-party alarm app. This was true of every pair of headphones I tried. Even if they were connected to my iPhone, the native alarm app would play through the phone's speakers instead of to my headphones. That really defeats the purpose if you're trying not to wake anyone else up.
However, sleeping in separate bedrooms every night also may not be healthy for the relationship. Not to mention, it may not even be feasible for people who don't happen to have an empty guest bedroom.
Sleeplessness due to menopause is often associated with hot flashes. Theseunpleasant sensations of extreme heat can come on during the day or atnight. Nighttime hot flashes are often paired with unexpected awakenings.
Most of us wake up to alarms to make sure we get up on time, but not all of us have the same morning schedule. Silent alarms are one of the least disruptive types of alarms that would be beneficial to both you and your partner.
VibeRise was built to improve all kinds of sleep situations, for all kinds of sleepers. From shared spaces to heavy sleepers, we want everyone to be able to wake up feeling well-rested & make healthier sleep habits easier.
Studies on the negative effects of waking up to loud noises show that they raise your cortisol levels and use stress to wake you up. Loud alarms can wake you up abruptly from deep phases of sleep, causing sleep inertia (morning grogginess). That means not just you, but your partner as well are jolted awake by loud alarms, compromising your sleep quality and morning mood & energy.
Sleepwalking usually occurs within those initial 90 minutes. Some form of arousal such as environmental triggers, medical conditions, or sleep deprivation can provoke sleepwalking. Certain medications, unexpected noises, or insufficient sleep may disrupt slow, regular waves or oscillations of brain activity in regions near the brainstem. The brain becomes active enough to initiate movement but not enough to reach full wakefulness.
With this video, we wanted to go completely into the dream world. A lot of my videos from 'Turn Up the Music' and other videos I'm doing now are in a dream state of believing what you want to believe. So that's what Fortune kinda encompasses. So it's basically dreaming and accomplishing your dreams. This video is me dreaming and being taken into this whole kind of maze. I keep waking up within a dream within a dream, almost on some Inception type ... but I don't want to bite that.[25]
There is nothing wrong with what you have mentioned about connecting intimacy to the time of Fajr, before or after the prayer, to help your wife to offer this prayer on time. This is a good intention. But you should pay attention to the rights that your wife has to intimacy and satisfaction, because waking her up for that may make her less keen, and may not be fulfilling her rights. So you must pay attention to that in that case.
The husband has a great deal of responsibility towards his wife, to motivate her to do good and help her to avoid evil, and to protect her from things that may lead to doom and perdition. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
If your wife sleeps and misses Fajr prayer sometimes, then what you must do is wake her up, and use various means of doing that, such as explaining the ruling on being heedless about prayer, encouraging her to pray, explaining the necessity of the husband and wife cooperating in good, and avoiding things that incur sin.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) praised the one who wakes his wife up to pray qiyaam al-layl by sprinkling water on her face, so how about waking her up for an obligatory prayer?
Our sleep-wake cycles, hormone levels, metabolism, and body temperature are all affected by our circadian rhythms, notes the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. When your rhythm is off, you may be at risk for more than just a few groggy days you drag yourself through. Irregular rhythms, the NIGMS notes, have been linked to chronic health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, depression, bipolar disorder, and seasonal affective disorder.
Now that you're clear about what you want to do when you wake up and what it takes to get more sleep, consider trimming down your morning activities. This could let you set the alarm clock for a few minutes (or more) later.
One way to figure out what might work best for you is to set a consistent bedtime that starts about eight hours before your alarm is going to go off. Stick to that for several weeks (including weekends) to get a feeling for how well your body responds. Lack notes that some people are naturally night owls and will still find it hard to go to bed early (at least what's early for them), even if they have to wake up early as well.
Sitting in front of the bright lights of your flat-screen TV before bedtime can make it hard to go to sleep, but bright light for an hour or two once you wake up can help set your body clock to accept your wake-up time. "This can be from sunlight, especially in summer, or artificial bright light if it's cold, dark, and rainy outside," says Lack, who is part of a research and development team that has developed bright light devices for this purpose. If your schedule allows it, a walk in the morning sun or a restful breakfast on the patio would be good for both your mood and better sleep.
Sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, or health issues, such as allergies or depression, could be leaving you with poor quality sleep. No matter how hard you try to get to bed on time and wake up on time, you'll still be tired in the morning and sleepy during the day.
Whatever your set bedtime and wake time are for the weekday, you'll have to stick to them on the weekends, too. According to research published in the journal Chronobiology International, a consistent bedtime on the weekends seems to lead to better sleep and easier waking during the week. Plus, you get to spend that weekend morning time any way you'd like.
I am the primary caregiver for my wife. In January 2021 she was diagnosed with AML leukemia, went through a bone marrow transplant and along the way got terrible peripheral nephropathy in both legs and feet. She is always in pain. It is like being on a battlefield and watching a wounded soldier in agony but you can do nothing. I cook, I clean, I do it all. She takes opiods for the pain and it makes her sleepy. You ask if I think of not waking up? Tonight I sit here alone, again, and want to turn the gas stove on without a flame. 781b155fdc
