Difficulty getting out of bed in the morning? Hating your alarm clock? Do you have an irresistible urge to snooze?
Tip for today
Install an “other type” of alarm clock app on your smartphone and start your day on time and with a smile (although some of these apps are definitely not designed to make you smile 😉 – but they will get you out of your bed!).
The 3 best alarm clock apps to get you out of bed
For those who like a challenge: Alarmy
Alarmy does what an alarm clock should do: get you out of bed. And that by putting your body to work immediately.
Choose a task that you have to do in the morning:
- Take a picture of a specific object in your house (preferably far away from your bed),
- Make a calculation
- Shake the phone for a long time.
- Play a memory game
- Scan a barcode
Only then does the ringing stop … and you are wide awake.
For those who want to wake up at the right time: Sleep Cycle
If you like to wake up softly, install Sleep Cycle. This alarm clock tracks your sleeping patterns. This way you will be woken up at the best moment. How does it do that? Your phone analyzes your movements in bed. In the half hour before getting up, it picks out the moment when you are in the lightest sleep phase. The intelligent snooze function allows you some time to wake up gently so you’re still ready at the right time.
For those who have trouble waking up: Walk Me Up Alarm Clock pushes you out of bed
Walk Me Up Alarm Clock literally pushes you out of bed. It counts the number of steps you take immediately after going off. If there are enough steps, the ringing will stop. Please turn off the snooze option beforehand!
For those who don’t want to install an app and still want a nice wake-up message
Instead of the text ‘Alarm clock’ with your standard alarm clock on Iphone, a positive or motivational text can appear on the screen!
Very easy to set up: Open the Clock app – Go to the Clock tab – Add an alarm clock via the plus and set the time – Tap Label, and add your own text where it says ‘Alarm Clock’- Tap ‘Done’ and ‘Save’.
