A life hack I'm trying for 2026 is to stop setting an alarm clock in the morning, and set a bed time alarm instead. Yes, even when I have an important meeting in the morning. This does two things:

- provide a strong incentive to go to bed at the correct time for my body every day because that's the only way to not over sleep

- enjoy the joy of waking up without an alarm every day

- provide some of this clear thinking time. Either at night when I'm sitting in bed not quite super tired yet, or in the morning when I woke up a bit early before everyone else
