There’s really nothing more annoying than being woken up to the buzzing of your alarm clock every morning. Well, maybe the noise of the vacuum at 6:15 am or the obnoxiously loud footsteps of the giant in the apartment above you. You can go from sleeping peacefully to one angry human in about half a second. Thankfully, pretty sounds do exist to wake you up in the morning.

Radio
There are many apps available that play the radio. Waking up from your sleep to the sound of your favorite radio station might soften the blow that it’s morning and you have to get up now.

Your Favorite Song
Please just don’t jump out of bed and turn your swag on. If that’s your favorite song, maybe just keep sleeping. Otherwise, set your alarm to wake you up to your favorite tune, it might make you happier to be forced to get up.

Harps, Violins & Musical Instruments
Peaceful music can be your best friend in the mornings. Thankfully there are many sleeping apps available to wake you up gently in the mornings, even though you wish you were still sleeping. Soft and gentle music can wake you up gradually rather than the harsh and startling buzzing of annoying alarms.

Nature
You probably weren’t sleeping too well in that tent because a rock was digging into your back, but at least nature woke you up nicely. The gentle blowing of the breeze through the trees might make up for the fact that you thought you were going to wake up toe-less this morning.

Waterfalls
There are many apps that will wake you up with the sounds of waterfalls and running water. While this might make you have to make a quick run for the bathroom, it’s still a nice and easy way to get over the fact that you should still be sleeping and not getting ready for another miserable day at work.

Birds
The gentle chirping of birds is quite a peaceful way to wake up from sleeping. Unless you’re a bird hater and can’t stand the sound of them. In that case, shut your window before you go to bed. Everyone else will lay in bed and listen to the beautiful bird’s songs.

Sound of Bacon Cooking
What’s better than bacon? That’s a simple answer: nothing. Waking up to the sounds and smells of bacon cooking is bound to get you leaping out of bed in the mornings and happy to be awake.

Sound of Coffee Brewing
There is something that’s worth waking up for every morning and that thing is coffee. Hearing the coffee brewing is such an enticing sound and makes you want to hop out of bed and pour yourself a nice big mug of it immediately.
