how do/did you deal with the fear that you'd just sleep through the alarm?
You could always have a proper alarm a few minutes later as a fallback...
that's a really good idea. a gentle wake alarm, followed by a "FUCKING WAKE UP" alarm; that way you can try to wake peacefully and if that fails get jolted awake.
fat lot of that does me now that I've had a child, but I wondered how that could have worked.
My smartwatch's vibration alarm goes off five minutes before my phone does, usually it's enough to wake me and I disable the phone's alarm (if it's close to the alarm time I have the option to bypass it for today)
Put Painkiller by Judas as the third song.
My brother used Sold Me by Seether while we were growing up. He hooked it up to a stereo and would try to get up and turn it off before the heavy guitars kick in and wake up the whole house. That's only 8 seconds. It never really worked and of course I had to share the room with him
well, I don't just immediately wake up to sound, it's sort of gradual.
I can tell how long it's been going on by where it's at but not waking is not an issue.
