No Alarm, No Adrenaline Rush
As I have been telling my audiences for years, if you wake by alarm clock then by definition you didn't get enough sleep. Receiving sufficient sleep for the night means that you arise on your own, without an artificial stimulant such as an alarm clock.
If you have trouble getting up at time you prefer to arise, experiment with going to bed earlier, to find that time in which you can comfortably arise without an alarm clock. A secondary benefit
to knowing that you've gotten enough sleep for the night because you've been able to arise on your own is not to awake in an adrenaline rush.
"Alarm" clocks and other devices are named as such because they are meant to alarm you. When you think about it however, is that the way you want to start each day? Being jolting out of your revery and thrown into waking consciousness ready or not? How much different would your day be if you woke peacefully, naturally, completely on your own?
