This is in contrast to some of the more drastic things out there that may actually be harmful to you. This is an easy to implement system that doesn't require you to drastically change your lifestyle, but can improve how you feel when you wake up and throughout the rest of the day. You want it loud enough to wake you up during 'light' sleep, but not so that it'll wake you up during 'deep' sleep.

The second thing you need to adjust is the alarm itself. Alternatively, you can just set the first alarm 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes early and hope that you're in 'light' sleep during that time. You can use the 90 minute rule to estimate when you'll be in 'light' sleep and set the alarm accordingly. The first is when to set the first alarm. You'll have to adjust two things in this system. My alarm clock lets me set two alarms I set the first to use the radio with the volume set low and the second alarm to buzzer. I personally use a dual alarm clock that lets me do this easily (I didn't buy the alarm clock to do this, it just so happened that I had this alarm clock when I created this system or the alarm clock led me to create this). You can use two alarm clocks to accomplish this. The second alarm is the back up to make sure that you wake up in time :). Waking up in 'light' sleep should leave you feeling more refreshed than waking up in 'deep' sleep. The whole point is that the first alarm should be so quiet that it will only wake you up if you're in 'light' sleep, like a whisper in your ear.

This is your regular alarm that will wake you up no matter what.

Set a second alarm to go off at the latest time you want to wake up.

Make the alarm really quiet radio or music.

Set an alarm to go off before the latest time you want to wake up.

I can't remember when I first started doing this, but it's been at least 7 years. I use a very simple system that can be done by even the most frugal of people. The downside of course, is that they're expensive, you have to wear them (so they can be lost or fall off at night and of course, you will be laughed at by your friends and loved ones), and worst of all, if they measure incorrectly, you can be woken up at the wrong time. SleepTracker is a watch that claims to be able to read your brain's EEG from your wrist. One product that I've seen, SleepSmart, makes you wear a headband or something around your head while you sleep. There are commercial products that attempt to measure your EEG and wake you up during 'light' sleep. The end result is that you can still be woken up during 'deep' sleep. Plus, if you wake up during the middle of the night, that'll kill this system. Even more, there's no guarantee that you'll fall asleep right away, so it's hard to set the alarm to wake you up in multiples of 90 minutes from when you think you'll fall asleep. Further, it's not like a person's sleep cycle is constant – it varies in length through the night and is affected by things like exercise, alcohol, and drugs. The problem with this is that 90 minutes is not a hard cut rule – every person's sleep cycle is different.

This guy claims to sleep in 90 minute intervals to attempt to wake up during 'light' sleep. Nature did not intend for us to wake up during 'deep' sleep. The traditional alarm clock has a set time to wake you up, but you could be in any stage of sleep when that happens. Conversely, when you wake up during 'deep' sleep, you feel groggy and are more tempted to hit the snooze button. When you wake up during 'light' sleep, you wake up rested and feeling good. The 5th stage is REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is when you dream. Stages 1 and 2 are considered 'light' sleep, while stages 3 and 4 are 'deep' sleep. There are 5 stages of sleep and over the course of a night's sleep, you cycle through these stages, with each sleep cycle taking approximately 90 minutes. Sleep is not just a single thing that happens to you at night. What I can say is that this has worked for me for the past 7 years and throughout university. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor (yet) and while I'm an expert, it's not in sleep. I don't need to use any sort of caffeine to stay awake.

I use a very simple, safe, and free (as in beer) system that I think works quite well and is more natural than suddenly waking up to a buzzer. The problem lies in what you're doing when you're suddenly woken up from your slumber. Other times, you can wake up after 6 hours and feel completely rested. Sometimes you can wake up after 8 hours and feel like crap. Waking up abruptly by the sound of an alarm clock is an inherently unnatural thing to do.
