experiment : stop waking up to my phone's alarm clock

experiment : stop waking up to my phone's alarm clock

why?
i found myself waking up very anxious.
feeling like i wasted my day for having to sleep an extra 5 minutes/1 hour
feeling like people were judging me for this
i was waking up to text messages
thoughts from other people were how i started the day rather than my own

so..
i bought a little puny alarm clock that takes 1 AA battery
and that was it
most days i wouldn't set it
i would let myself wake up when my body was rested

result
i was much happier when i woke up
i let my mind think about what i would like to do today
(usually something i thought of the night before)
and i do what excites me
and that actually helps me get out of bed quicker than hitting snooze 10 million times

now what?
i don't wake up to my phone unless it's very important
like catching a flight
or need to travel to fermilab for science
