Bought a sunrise alarn clock then felt some benefits of waking up easier
Then used it with combination of opening curtains and that energized me a lot
Now thinking the final evolution will be to have a curtain setup that auto-opens at the set time, and changeable when needed. Not sure yet if anything already exists product-wise for that but that's something that will very likely help you a lot too (Hopefully you have a window next to your bed)
It is super underrated waking up millions times easier via the sun (Pair with consistent sleep schedule of when you sleep and wake)
You sound like you'd really benefit from "Home Assistant" if you're not already using it and the addition of smart bulbs that can change colours to sync with circadian rhythm (and possibly smart switches)
Thanks for the suggestion it does sound like something I would use. I'll give it a go. Appreciate it
They absolutely make “smart” curtains rods.
My sleep schedule doesn’t always have me needing to wake up after sunrise, so I instead have two of those umbrella-looking photography lamps at each side of the foot of the bed. Works great, but hard to convince dates I’m not filming them, so sometimes I have to remove them.
Haha sounds like a good problen to have
