With a less awkward musical alarm clock in the morning

The tone we choose for the alarm clock can make a difference on how awkward we feel in the morning. A musical, melodic alarm clock can improve the alert level, make us more awake, while harsh tones are connected to an increase in morning stun levels. This is indicated by the research of the Australian Rmit University published in the journal Plos One.
"Although more research is needed to better understand the precise combination of melody and rhythm that - highlights the first author of the research, Stuart McFarlane - could work better considering that most people use alarm clocks, the sound chosen can have important consequences. This is particularly important for those who may find themselves working in dangerous situations shortly after waking up, such as firefighters or pilots, but also for anyone who needs to be on the alert quickly, for example, must drive to a hospital in an emergency. " . The research involved 50 participants, using a specially designed online survey that allowed them to remotely contribute to the study from the comfort of their own home. Each person recorded the type of sound they used to wake up, then assessed their stiffness levels and readiness for standardized sleep inertia criteria.
Professor Adrian Dyer, from Rmit University's School of Media and Communication and Digital Ethnography Research Center, said the research could help design more efficient interventions that people can use on their devices to wake up properly.
