NFC Alarm Clock is the best. I use it with the NFC Tools Shortcuts to set an alarm in 7h50mins, my perfect nighr of sleep time
What makes it different then the other alarms that youve used?
Its the only one I can press a button and set it to a time IN X mins/hrs. I need a combination of a timer (ring in x minutes) and an alarmclock (wake me up at XX:XX) I want "wake me up in X minutes" This was only possible with NFC Tools Pro and NFC Alarm Clock. I dont use the NFC functionality for either of them, but setting the alarm by touching an NFC Tag where I plug in my phone could be very handy
Do you have a harder time waking up if its only the traditional alarm? (XX:XX) the minute time is for extra security?
In my experience I get grumpy and am not as fresh, if I sleep longer than 8 hours.
For weekends or holidays I use it like that, then the duration of sleep is more important than the waking-up point. I could do rough math in my head and then look at the "Next Alarm in..." but like that its so much easier. One click and its set.
I also have three more alarm shortcuts to set it to the three different trains I take for work.
I remember when i used to get 7hrs of sleep. Im lucky if i can get even 5🤣🤣
Below 7h for a few nights and I am not productive and get angry easily. So its no question for me. I'd change jobs if I had to, my body is important to me
I used to be like that too and then i got used to getting no sleep for a little while. Like getting less than 4 hrs and then going to work in the field or going on my weekend hikes. My sleep schedule was crazy bad for a while until i started feeling that i needed sleep. I need at least 5hrs and im good, anything under im not doing anything and sleeping in.
I am not sure how the body can adjust really. Maybe you get used to it mentally, but I am not sure if the slower reaction time and risks for cancer, dementia and things like that are still fhere or not.
