New research suggests that using alarms to wake up in the morning might have adverse effects on your heart health. The study, conducted by a team of cardiovascular experts, reveals that abrupt awakenings by alarm clocks can lead to a spike in stress hormones and blood pressure, potentially increasing the risk of heart problems in the long run. It’s advised to opt for gentler wake-up methods like gradual light alarms or soothing sounds to promote a healthier start to your day.
