An expert explained how to set an alarm clock correctly so as not to harm your health and wake up easily.
Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova shared her recommendations on her Telegram channel.
The melody of the alarm clock plays an important role. Thus, a sharp sound provokes stress in a person due to sudden awakening.
At such moments, the brain receives a false signal that a person is in danger. In fact, he is not in danger, but an adrenaline rush occurs.
What happens next? The heart starts beating faster, blood pressure rises.
It is even worse when the alarm goes off while the person is in a deep sleep phase. In this case, a condition called sleep inertia occurs.
A person feels tired for several hours after waking up. The consequences are even more serious when several alarms are set with a difference of 5-10-20 minutes.
First, you need to establish a sleep schedule, the doctor advises. You need to sleep about 8 hours a day.
A sharp or loud alarm melody should be replaced with a gradual one. In this case, the body will not experience stress.
You can also use a light alarm clock that simulates the sunrise.
