Present in all smartphones, the alarm is also one of the most overlooked applications… And yet, simple tips could improve your daily life.
Whether it’s getting out of bed or just planning the time to ring, waking up is often a complicated part of the day… But did you know that it was possible to make it less painful? To make your mornings easier and save you stress in the evenings, we have grouped together 5 little-known alarm tips that should improve your getting out of bed.
Plan your awakenings
Let’s start with the simplest, which you probably know, but you never know: you can schedule your wake-ups and set a recurrence. This option is especially useful for regular alarms like waking up from work.
It could not be easier, just create a new alarm and click on the letters below of the time corresponding to the different days of the week.
We won’t hide it from you, it’s not the least known, but we had to start with the obvious before moving on to the less popular features.
Delete notifications while you sleep
This option is not strictly speaking in the alarm, but reuses all the functionalities. If you have trouble getting off your smartphone before going to bed, The “Sleep” option helps you stop being prompted by your screen.
By configuring your sleep zone, your smartphone will automatically activate and deactivate airplane mode, but can also activate other options such as:
- Dark mode,
- Visual comfort: to reduce blue lights,
- Energy saving mode.
Of course, this mode can be activated and deactivated manually, but the best thing to do is to plan it in advance to automate the process.
Personalize your wake-up music
When you create a new alarm, you can certainly select the time at which it will sound but also the ringtone. But did you know that you can pull out classic ringtones and link your Spotify account to play your favorite tunes when you wake up?
This tip is both the best for waking up to music and the worst for becoming disgusted with music in just a few days.
Create a gentle visual awakening
If you don’t want to wake up with a start every morning to just the sound of an aggressive ringtone, you may prefer to have a delicate alarm clock accompanied by an image of your choice. To do this, simply go to the settings of one of your alarms and configure a new background.
The sound will still be as aggressive, but at least you will be soothed by a comforting visual.
