Alarm clocks were invented to help us wake up on time, but they often feel like humanity’s greatest enemy. Their loud, sudden sounds interrupt peaceful dreams and force us out of comfort far too early. No matter how useful they are, being woken up by an alarm rarely feels kind or gentle.
Over time, alarm clocks have trained us to associate mornings with stress and resistance. We hit the snooze button, promise ourselves just five more minutes, and begin the day already tired. While they keep society running on schedule, alarm clocks may have also robbed us of calm mornings making them both necessary and deeply disliked. Shutdown123
