Waking up in the morning isn't easy for everyone unless, of course, you're blessed with being a morning person. Waking up in the morning is especially hard because it's winter and if you're like me, you want to stay snuggled up in bed all day. But, like all people, we have things to do and people to see.
One of my little morning "hacks" is to set my alarm with a calming, mellow, good-vibe song. I always choose a song that starts off slow and then builds up to help to get me up!
For my trusty blog readers, I've come up with a list of 30 songs that will help you to wake up happier! But, before I tell you the songs, I will tell you how to first set your alarm to be a song. Say goodbye to those gut-wrenching beeps and ringtones. These steps solely apply to iPhone users (sorry Android and other cell phone users). First step is to go to your alarms on your phone. Next, press the "+" sign in the top righthand corner. Next, go down to "sound" and click "pick a song"! Yep, it's that easy!
