Namaste, iam Pam Carpenter, Good luck today!

Ugh, that alarm! I’m so over it. Every morning it’s the same thing - blaring away and yanking me out of my slumber. But hey, at least I’m not sleeping through it anymore!

Why Can’T I Hear My Alarm When I’M Sleeping? [Solved]

Well, if you’re a heavy sleeper, don’t worry - it’s totally natural! Dr. Meadows says research shows that deep sleepers have more sleep spindles, which is a type of brain activity during NREM sleep. So there ya go!

  1. Set an Alarm: Setting an alarm is a great way to ensure you wake up on time and get the rest you need. It can also help you establish a consistent sleep schedule.

  2. Avoid Caffeine Late in the Day: Caffeine is a stimulant that can make it difficult to fall asleep, so try to avoid drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages late in the day.

  3. Exercise Regularly: Regular exercise can help improve your sleep quality and reduce stress levels, which can make it easier to fall asleep at night.

  4. Establish a Bedtime Routine: Having a consistent bedtime routine helps signal your body that it’s time for sleep, making it easier to drift off when you lay down in bed each night.

  5. Avoid Electronics Before Bed: The blue light emitted from electronic devices like phones and tablets can interfere with your body’s natural circadian rhythm, making it harder for you to fall asleep at night.

I was sound asleep when the alarm went off, jolting me awake! Ugh, I hate it when that happens. It’s so annoying. Still half-asleep, I stumbled out of bed and got ready for the day.
