Comparison: Phone alarm vs sunrise alarm | Result: mixed

[cb0806151]

One of the things I really enjoyed about the whoop reddit was people sharing their before/afters of different things they did to optimize sleep and such so I'm starting that here.

Recently got a Hatch sunrise alarm:

and was able to run a comparison with just a plain old phone alarm to see how it compares.

Phone alarm on the left and sunrise alarm on the right:

While it's clearly making waking up easier it doesn't seem to change the bpm jolt that an alarm does. Based on this data my bpm is still spiking ~40 bpm upon waking. The bpm spike might also be tied to movement so I might just need to lay in bed for ten minutes and see how the two compare. Based on all that, I'm giving a result of: mixed.
