How do you wake up in the morning? If you set an alarm on your phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess. So, is there a better way to wake up? A recent study says yes. The answer is music. Researchers say alarms that have a melody, like the beginning of this song, can help people feel fresher in the morning. The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake up. The findings appeared this month in the publication PloS One. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert.
