Hello Today as usual I woke up very early with my phone alarm, did some morning bible study and now I'm preparing my breakfast. Well in the morning the alarm usually gives me a shock when it starts to ring and all the vibration This in most cases makes my heart start beating very fast than usual, and all over sudden I'm just sweating and some how feeling wired Well that is what usually happens to me every time I use the alarm What about you guys, do you use alarms? How do you feel when waking up? picture is from pixabay

I set my alarm if I have to be up. I do not sleep well anyway. I set my alarm on my phone to go off for reminders as well--appointments, etc. It's helpful. I don't set mine on loud, I hear it no matter what.

@thebos No, waking up is something we all have to do every day, it's a normal activity, nothing weird about it.

I only use an alarm if I have to be at a specific place at a specific time. I usually wake up early on my own, but I’ll set my alarm as a precaution in case for some reason I sleep longer on a day of an appointment. The alarm doesn’t bother me though; I wake up immediately, but it doesn’t startle me to a large extent. I guess I’m used to it.

@thebos On purpose? I’ve set my alarm for 3:30am before, but that was because we were leaving for a trip. Just for a regular appointment maybe 6am.

@thebos I only set mine on days when I need to be up early - otherwise no, but I generally get up early most mornings anyway

I do use alarms just in case I would wake up late. Even though I usually wake up before my alarm rings. But sometimes I don't hear my alarm even at maximum volume because I'm tired all the day

Yes I use the alarm every morning. I set the time to 3 AM. I woke up to pray for a while and went back to sleep to wake up during the dawn call to prayer around 4.45 AM.
