I wake up to iPhone‘s disgusting alarm, but I shave listening to Slayer - Raining Blood

Yeah, I use The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It starts quietly and peacefully so doesn’t startle me but builds to a crescendo which guarantees my awake attention.

I use Your New Morning Alarm by Marc Rebillet

“Just Us” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

I use the radio, so that I don’t get conditioned to hate one specific song, but still have something more pleasant than an alarm tone (which I’d also grow to hate)

I have others for other alarms. I set multiple so that I can gauge on who I want to be for the day.

sometimes I want to be Donnie Azoff, most the time I want to be almost unemployed.

“Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until… well, let’s just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.”

That followed by ‘marc rebillet - wake up’

I wake up to this beautiful Spanish Anarchist song

I have created a perfect loop of “Picture this / I’m a bag of dicks / put me your lips” from the intro of Run The Jewels & DJ Shadow’s “Nobody Speak”

We actually use a 90s clock radio that has a “radio alarm” feature! So we get whatever the radio station we last used is playing. It’s nice.

– Frost

Nine Inch Nails - The Frail

A++ would wake up again

Guiles’ theme gets the blood coarsing straight away

My body is now cursed, so 99% I wake up before my alarm.

For the first alarm, I use the default iPhone setting. For the second emergency alarm, I use Entombment of a Machine by Job For A Cowboy. I already wore that song out the better part of 20 years ago and it’s guaranteed to wake you up every time

Brennan Hart and The Prophet

The Sir Digby Chicken Caesar song

The To These Gods You Cannot Pray monologue from Hellblade

And if you really need to wake up, this sound effect can be very effective
