In my stereo system to wake up to loud blasting tunes in the AM

yeahrightIn my stereo system to wake up to loud blasting tunes in the AM

i need some good "wake up" music, what you listening to?

E-Dubble. Some songs are perfect for the AM, some not so much.

I am a bit biased given that I created the PillowPocket... but there are some sweet apps that work really well when your phone is in your pillow case:

Sleep Cycle - it will help wake you up when you are in your lightest sleep phase Sigmund - made by some guys at Harvard and MIT, it helps influence your dreams Deep Sleep by Prajnu - if you want to try meditation to improve sleep quality Sleep Diary by Proactive Life - if you want to track your sleep quality

The problem with some of the sleep apps (like Sleep Cycle) is that they depend on the phone accelerometer working accurately. The PillowPocket keeps your phone in one place right by your side so the Sleep Cycle app will get consistent readings and actually deliver on the promise it makes to users...

Voted other because I have two phones. Work phone on the nightstand + personal phone (main alarm clock) on the other side of the room. Both set on full volume.

Also, best wakeup song is "Non, je ne regrette rien" by Edith Piaf because it makes you feel like you're in fucking Inception.

BTbankermy wake-up routine:

YouTube is blocked on my computer, so I can't see the video.

I'm guessing it's the intro to American Psycho, will check when I'm on my home comp...

Keep in mind, I used to be a go to bed at 3:30am, start work at 11am types...

That's how I am too. Were you able to adapt to the banking hours pretty easily?
 
OMSmy phone is somewhere in my bed when i sleep.

The PillowPocket is meant for guys like you. So much less stress when your phone is securely next to you in your pillow case...

Sleep Cycle is great app. I had a similar experience and was able to improve the Sleep Cycle data quality when my phone was in the PillowPocket as the accelerometer would get a better reading on my REM movement

My cell charges in the living room, of course i would ignore it if it went off while I was sleeping anyway.

I keep it across the room because it serves as my alarm; this way I have to haul myself out of bed to turn it off. I'm so smart.
