One alarm doesn't feel like enough to get you from asleep to actually up. So you build a whole sequence, each one meant to catch the version of you that dismissed the last.
- setting alarms for 6:30, 6:35, 6:40 and every five minutes after that
- giving each alarm a more urgent label as the morning gets later
- putting one device across the room and keeping another beside the bed
- waking to an alarm you don't remember turning off
Looks vs reality
The same Experience can look very different from the outside than it feels on the inside.
Looks like you just love sleeping in.
Feels like an intense fear of not waking up at all.
Looks like a lack of willpower or discipline.
Feels like a necessary defense system against letting people down.
Looks like you're just bad at mornings.
Feels like a daily battle to get your brain online.
Looks like you don't care about being on time.
Feels like you care so much that you build a fortress against failure.
