Everyone's different, I think, and what works for me might even seem counterintuitive but after a lifetime of setting multiple loud alarms to bully myself into waking up, instead I use my phone alarm along with this gentle start-up it has coming from zero volume very slowly into full audio, like over a 5 minute period. This way I'm not mad about waking up, and it's not even the experience of waking up so much as slowly realizing at some point that I'm already awake.

Like a veil thrown over the skin to secure its modesty, the screen partially removes from the mind the inner states of the body, those that constitute the flow of life as it wanders in the journey of each day.”
