The early bird truly catches the worm. A German study shows that morning people tend to be more successful because they are often more proactive than evening people. But how do you change your ways if you’re stuck on your night owl routine? Try this genius smartphone application.
When working to transform yourself into a morning person, you may begin to set earlier alarms. You will likely press snooze on these alarms and try to go back to sleep.
Snooze settings were added to alarms in order to allow the person to get a few extra minutes of sleep without actually entering into a deep sleep cycle. But as we night owls surely understand, a few extra minutes can quickly turn into an hour.
Certain apps are known as “smart alarms” and force you to solve a math problem before turning off the alarm, which awakens your brain and gets you ready for the day so you aren’t tempted to get some more Z’s. The simple math problem gets you out of the drowsy sleep state so you can make a clear decision on if it’s worth it to hit that snooze button.
