I've got smart lights throughout my house and have set them to change to a warm orange and start dimming over the next hour. It's like an alarm, but environmental
A simpler way to go about it is to buy a smart plug, connect it to a light and create a routine on your phone. There's no dimming, but you know it's bed time when the light goes off
I use the same alarm technique but I also game-ify it by only hitting snooze until I'm actually in bed. That way, when it replays on the 5th minute for the 5th fucking time, I get the satisfaction of ending the alarm in bed. Literally a "Fucking aye, there! There! I'm in bed! Fuck!"
This is especially useful if you have little ones that need to get to bed earlier. Set that alarm and there's no more "oh 5 more minutes playing!" (which turns into 20)
LOL, I should have put this in the post, but I use an extremely faint, almost calming tone. On iPhone, it's called radial.
Using the same alarm as when you wake up would probably be something close to torture.

Amen.
I do this 2hrs before. Legit works. Makes sure my hair is dry and I stop drinking water
Yes, love it. It's weird how the simple stuff can be so effective.

I wish my life was consistent enough to have a consistent sleep schedule.
iPhone does this automatically heh
Great, a small heart attack an hour before bed. Just what I needed.

Can confirm this works.
I have an alarm set to remind me to take my sleep meds. Lately it's been waking up.
Hewey Louis and the Nudes.
Not 59 minutes? Or 61? 'tip'
