If so, which song?
Seems like I’d condition myself to hate that song.
Yup. I tried it because it sounded like a pleasant way to wake up. Instead I just started hating some of my favorite songs.
This.
Now I just have a generic alarm signal because I would like to keep enjoying the music I like
When I was in my teens I used Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, by Led Zeppelin as my alarm, over 15 years later and I can’t help but feel like I’m being yanked out of dead sleep every time I hear it.
The correct way is to use a song you already hate…
But why would I want to make waking up even more horrible by playing a song I hate? I don’t think there is a way for the songs to win
Mornings are rough, true. But when you hate the song enough, you can make your morning at least slightly better when you make that POS stop.
Right now I use a mix of these two:
+1 for Marc Rebillet
Vanessa Carlton’s “A thousand miles”, mostly for the piano part at the beginning.
Not to mention it’s an absolute banger
austin powers theme.
That’s a pretty groovy tune
Concerning Hobbits. I picked it to try to set the tone for the day, and it usually works. I’m not a morning person so this is about as good as I can get.
No
I had devil dogs by sabaton as my alarm for a while because all the instruments come in at once and it would jolt me awake.
I use FM radio for a random song or ad to wake me up. It’s the only time I hear the radio on purpose.
Luke Skywalker’s theme from Star Wars: A New Hope.
Yeah, I use The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It starts quietly and peacefully so doesn’t startle me but builds to a crescendo which guarantees my awake attention.
This is an amazing choice. I just changed all my alarms.
I use the middle chorus from Gloryhammer’s Masters of the Galaxy, and it’s worked really well for a while. But I’m thinking of changing it to the opening of Powerman 5000’s Bombshell
I use the radio, so that I don’t get conditioned to hate one specific song, but still have something more pleasant than an alarm tone (which I’d also grow to hate)

I love his work especially with Laura Brehm and this one specifically has a nice slow build without any vocals for a while which I find more pleasant to wake up to.

I have a Garmin fitness watch that only vibrates to wake me up. It’s mildly annoying since it is not as gentle as my old Apple Watch from many years ago. The Apple Watch’s vibration alarm felt like a finger gently tapping my wrist. It was a nice way to gently wake up without disturbing my partner. My Garmin watch vibrates entirely on the lowest setting. I can also hear it audibly vibrate, too.
