I have realized that hitting snooze three times doesn't actually give me 27 minutes of extra sleep. It just forces my brain into this awful, fragmented state where I wake up feeling ten times more exhausted than if I had just stood up on the first alarm. It's like a daily hangover I inflict on myself. Has anyone successfully trained themselves to be a one and done alarm person? How did you do it?

I have sleeping problems for as long as I can remember, I cannot believe how far I am done after 30 years with this problem, when I was 12 yo my parents bought me a very loud alarm (those with two big bells and a hammer between them) and since then my mind completely ignores anything when sleeping. I don't wake up even if you throw water to me, yell to loud at me, or even real danger. But, I recently discovered something, I am really tired of work everyday, and I use to take a nap in train, and never ever I missed a station, I always wake up 1 or 2 mins before my station, this is crazy, since the ticket costs about 5e and my job cannot pay 2 or more tickets a day to come back home.
I consider myself a mean person about the money, so that could be the reason.
But anyone has any suggestion? I've read some days ago that natural sleep cycle in humans is to sleep 2 times a day, and since industrial revolution this changed to be just one time, so could this be the origin of sleeping problems around the world?

That 6am alarm hits different when skipping actually costs something. It's not about guilt - it's about giving your brain a real, immediate trade-off.
