I am not a morning person — never have been, and never will be. Yet during the past two years, I began valuing sleep more than before, most likely because it served as the one time of day I could go without hearing something devastating. I invested in essential oils, a humidifier, and a Casper pillow, all of which helped me sleep better, but didn’t alleviate the struggle of getting up.
I have a bad habit (see: lifestyle) of staying up late, and while I could rearrange my schedule to aid my sleep, capitalism always seems to be the most convenient option. I sought to replace the jarring iPhone alarm that woke me up every day, which left me irritated and groggy. I strongly believe that anyone who brands themselves as a morning person does not wake up to that sound.
