Best Alarm Sound for Better Sleep and Energy

What is the best alarm sound for better sleep and energy?

Want to wake up more energetic and happier tomorrow? (And no, this isn’t a trick question!)

By adjusting the sound settings of your alarm, you can make a simple change to your sleep hygiene that can have a significant impact on your day.

Researchers actually found that the best way to start your day is NOT with a loud, obnoxious alarm. This can actually raise your blood pressure and increase your stress hormones. Instead, start your day with a melodic alarm that gradually increases in volume.

Some of our staff favorites are:

Katrina & The Waves – Walking on Sunshine

Beatles – Here Comes the Sun

Bill Withers – Lovely Day

Sam Feldt – Post Malone

Coldplay – Viva La Vida

Pharrell Williams – Happy

Some other things to consider for your song choice according to a study conducted by Spotify and music psychologist David M. Greenberg are:

• It should build gently and gradually to get your energy levels up
• It should be positive (Sad songs will not get you out of bed)
• It should have a strong beat to get you moving, out of bed, and maybe even dancing
