I Tried 9 Ways To Wake Up On Time. Only One Actually Worked.

A gentle buzz on the skin wakes people up in a different way than sound does, so it works even for ADHD brains that sleep through alarms.

Let me save you the mornings I wasted.

I set the loudest alarm my phone had. Then three alarms, five minutes apart. I put the phone across the room. I bought a sunrise lamp. An app that made me solve math problems to shut it off. A smartwatch. An old alarm clock. I went to bed earlier. And I asked my girlfriend to shake me.

None of it worked. Some mornings I slept straight through. Other mornings I turned it off and remembered none of it.

Here is the one thing that actually worked. And why.

Note: read this before you buy another alarm clock.

1.I Woke Up On Time. Without The Panic.

The first morning I did not understand what had happened. I was just awake. On time.

No jolt. No heart pounding. The buzz starts soft and grows until you move. You come out of sleep instead of being yanked out of it.

I have not slept through a morning since.

2.I Got The First Hour Of My Day Back

I used to lose every morning. Wake up late, rush everything, and start the day already behind.

Now I am up before I need to be. Coffee, shower, out the door. No scramble.

It sounds like a small thing. It changed how the whole rest of my day went.

3.Your Brain Ignores Sound. Not Vibration.

Researchers have a name for this. Low registration. An ADHD brain needs a stronger signal before it notices anything at all.*

So a louder alarm does not help. It is the same kind of signal, only turned up.

A buzz on your skin is a different kind. The WakeBand wakes you physically, until you are actually up.

4."A Buzz Will Never Wake Me Up."

That was my first thought too. I sleep through a phone screaming next to my head.

But this one does not buzz once and give up. It keeps growing, through three levels, until you are up.

Fliq tested it on 80,000 heavy sleepers. 99% woke up on time.

5.No Phone. No App. Nothing To Set Up.

This mattered more than I expected. Anything with an app was one more thing to forget.

The WakeBand is just the band. You set your three alarms on it once and then leave it alone.

It runs 14 days on one charge. And it is completely silent, so nobody else in the house hears a thing.
