The best way to wake up

Nova Podcasts
About this episode

What noise do you wake up to every day? Even the best alarm sound can create a negative association and fck up your day. There’s evidence to suggest that picking your fave song as an alarm can make you more alert! And one study found people turned off their alarm more quickly if they were woken up with music rather than beeps. It’s the easiest change to make and we’ll talk you through it.
