\"\"Daylight saving changes<\/strong> can disrupt our sleep patterns<\/strong> and leave us feeling groggy<\/strong> and tired<\/strong>. The app Gentle Wakeup provides a gentle time change alarm<\/strong> which can let people wake up smoothl<\/strong>y during daylight saving changes<\/strong> without feeling tired<\/strong>. By gradually shifting the wake-up time<\/strong> by 10 minutes per day<\/strong> before the time change occurs, Gentle Wakeup offers users a seamless transition<\/strong>, allowing them to start their day refreshed and energized<\/strong>.

Setting up the gentle time change<\/h3>\n

Setting up the gentle time change<\/strong> is very simple in the app. When you add a new alarm clock in the app, you can choose your alarm time<\/strong> from a list of different alarm clock types<\/strong>. Scroll down<\/strong> and select \u201cGentle Timechange\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The app will shift the wake-up time<\/strong> every day a bit to adjust to the new time<\/strong> until the day of the time change is reached<\/strong>. Just set the wake-up time for the day of the time change<\/strong> and let the app calculate the number of days to shift the alarm<\/strong> or the number of minutes to shift<\/strong> for each day.<\/p>\n

Waking up to light resets your circadian rhythm<\/h3>\n

Now that you have set your alarm<\/strong> for time shifts<\/strong>, it may start very early in the morning<\/strong>. For many people, it can be a big challenge<\/strong> to wake up at this time<\/strong> and get out of bed<\/strong> without feeling dizzy<\/strong>. But with the help of the app, you can wake up very gently<\/strong> and even feel as refreshed<\/strong> as when you wake up at your normal time<\/strong>. The app uses slowly rising light<\/strong> to simulate a natural sunrise<\/strong>. Even with your eyes closed, your brain will notice this<\/strong>, bringing you out of deep sleep<\/strong> and preparing your body<\/strong> to wake up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The chirping of birds<\/strong> will sound as well with slowly increasing volume<\/strong> at wake-up time.<\/p>\n

Wake-up times and sleep timers<\/h3>\n

Tap on wake-up times to see a list of shifted start times for the corresponding days. Plan your week according to the shifted daytime. The list also included sleep times. The app assumes a default sleep time of 8 hours, but you can change this value if needed. When the sleeping time is reached the app starts a sleep timer with a sunset which increases slowly in brightness. The sound of a night owl is played in the background. This is the right time to go to bed and get yourself calm for sleeping.<\/p>\n
