Switch Your Chime Alarm Clock On to Calm Down
Calm yourself for sleep. Stress—from a job, or relationships, or impossibly high expectations—creates an inability to switch off at night, and lack of sleep makes us irritable, emotional, and unable to think clearly. “I tell my patients to take five minutes every few hours to calm, breathe, and bring the buzz down,” says Catherine Darley, MD, founder of the Institute of Naturopathic Sleep Medicine in Seattle. Another tip? Jotting thoughts down in a sleep diary can help you track what sets you of versus what sets you up for a good night’s rest.
Our Zen Clock’s long-resonating Tibetan bell-like chime makes waking up a beautiful experience – its progressive chimes begin your day with grace. When the clock’s alarm is triggered, the acoustic chime bar is struck just once … 3-1/2 minutes later it strikes again … chime strikes become more frequent over 10 minutes … eventually striking every 5 seconds until shut off. As they become more frequent, the gentle chimes will always wake you up – your body really doesn’t need to be awakened harshly, with a Zen Clock you’re awakened more gradually and thus more naturally.
