It’s amazing how your first few waking moments can set the tone for your entire day. I used to have my alarm clock set to the loud buzzer setting on the alarm clock. I used to be a heavy sleeper and the grating buzz buzz buzz was the only thing that would wake me up.
Now, I opt for music. But that took a while to work out too. Something too light, like classical, and it wouldn’t wake me up. Something too hard, and it’d wake me up, but then I’d usually start my day off in kind of a sour mood. Now, I have ye olde clock radio set to a nice middle of the road station. Enough energy to get me up, but not enough to jar me out of my skin. Now sometimes that first song I hear right out of bed gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day, but that’s a different story.
So what about you? Do you prefer music to wake you up? If so, what kind? If not, what gets you up in the morning?

My phone has a nice, cello piece which I’ve chosen for my alarm. I, like you, used to have a buzzing alarm. It worked fine, but it always startled me and left me woozy and shaking with adrenaline. Before that, I had a clock radio and set it to classical music.
I would have left it on classical, but every once in a while, a aria would rip out in a high C above C and leave me pinned to the roof. At least with the cello piece, all 30 seconds of it, I know what to expect!
Hope you had an awesome weekend!
I wake up to my cell phone at 5:50 every morning. It has a nice melodic bubbles kind of thing it does – enough to wake me up, but not enough to get stuck in my head or pin me to the ceiling.
Often, though, my cat, MissyBrat decides to come in and allow me to pet her. If I happen to be asleep, she wakes me up, usually a bout 5 min before the alarm. That’s usually about the time Dad and her MissyBrat’s dogs go for a walk. Since I am still in bed, I have nothing better to do than pet her.
