So many of us use an alarm of some sort to notify us of when it’s time to sleep or when it’s time to do something.

Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor in chief of the Huffington Post shares, “I love waking up without an alarm. Just think about the definition of the word “alarm”: “a sudden fear or distressing suspense caused by an awareness of danger; apprehension; fright,” or “any sound, outcry, or information intended to warn of approaching danger.” So an alarm, in most situations, is a signal that something is not right. Yet most of us rely on some kind of alarm clock; a knee-jerk call to arms; to start the day, ensuring that we emerge from sleep in full fight-or-flight mode, flooded with stress hormones and adrenaline as our body readies itself for danger.”
