A load of rubbish or a genuinely clever hack? We asked the experts to weigh in on whether we should all be calling our alarms “opportunity clocks”.
have found that our brains are incredibly adaptable and actively thinking positively can help us counteract negative beliefs.
“Simply changing the name of your alarm clock may make it easier to get out of bed,” agrees Martin Seeley, CEO and sleep expert at“This is because the word ‘alarm’ is negative, with the dictionary stating that it means ‘an anxious awareness of danger’. Combining this with the fact that an alarm clock essentially screams at you at a time when you may be deep in sleep, it’s extremely understandable why so many people feel that they don’t work for them from a mental perspective.
Still not swayed? We can’t blame you. However, if you are still looking for helpful ways to make winter mornings easier, keep reading.“If you’re struggling to wake up in the cold, the last thing you want to do is set a super loud alarm which is going to scare the living daylights out of you in the morning,” says Seeley.
“This is because a five-to-ten-minute snooze time only gives you enough time to go into ‘light sleep’ as you wait to enter the deep sleep state, otherwise known as REM. Your body is, therefore, put into a fight or flight mode, which triggers a response that increases your blood pressure and heartbeat as you wake up, leaving you on high alert. This makes you feel stressed despite it being the start of your day,” Seeley explains.
