If you hit the snooze button more than once, “Clocky” will roll away on his two wheels and hide, beeping and whirling all the way. Meet the Experts: Seema Bonney, M.D., longevity specialist, functional medicine doctor, and sleep doctor for Mattress Firm Shelby Harris, Psy.D., clinical psychologist, sleep specialist, and author of The Women’s Guide To Overcoming Insomnia Our top picksĬlocky will never let you sleep in (and yet it’s hard to stay mad at him!). Here, we rounded up the best options to get your day started-from ones that use extra-loud alarms or vibration settings, to light alarm clocks that help you open those peepers. “Heavy sleepers should look for alarm clocks with extra loud settings, adjustable volume levels, no-snooze button, vibrating functions, and bed-shaking capabilities to help wake them up,” Harris says. “There is research that suggests some people are more tolerant to noises, which explains why heavy sleepers may struggle to wake up to a normal alarm clock.” However, if you find that you’re constantly struggling to wake up, it may be a sign that you’re not getting enough quality sleep due to bad sleep hygiene or even an undiagnosed sleep disorder-in which case you should contact your doctor, advises Harris.īut, for those who just need some extra stimuli to wake up in the morning (or for those hard of hearing), a specific kind of alarm clock can help. “If you’re a heavy sleeper, you may need stronger stimuli to wake up than the typical sleeper,” says Shelby Harris, Psy.D., clinical psychologist, sleep specialist, and author of The Women’s Guide To Overcoming Insomnia. The best alarm clocks for heavy sleepers will help you get up, get moving, and get your day started. Sure, crafting a great morning routine can help you look forward to the a.m., but sometimes, you just can’t seem to wake up when your alarm goes off.
