Waking up without stress
When we wake up, cortisol (the stress hormone), peaks for about 30 minutes. During this time, the adrenal glands produce 50% more cortisol than normal.
If you need to wake up earlier or you haven't slept for any other reason, you're in a bad mood, stress worsens!
How to reduce waking stress:
If you wake up to an alarm clock, let its sound be soft, not annoying. It is good to use the sounds of nature.
You can also use a light alarm clock instead of a sound alarm clock. Such alarms mimic the sunrise, so waking up is smooth and as natural as possible.
You can use apps that track your sleep phases and wake you up at the most appropriate moment in the time interval you specify.
