Are you tired of hitting the snooze button a million times every morning? Do you feel like a zombie when you finally drag yourself out of bed? There’s an app for that!
It’s Wake Up Call, the app that literally calls you to wake you up. Yes, you read that right.
It’s like having a personal butler, but without the fancy suit and awkward small talk.
And this is how it works:
1. Set the alarm: Choose the day and time at which you want to be rudely awakened from your sleep.
2. Wait for the call: When the time comes, your phone will ring, but instead of your mom asking why you didn’t call back, you’ll hear a cheery robotic voice telling you it’s time to rise and shine.
3. Get up (or else): No snooze button here, folks. Either you answer the call and face the day, or you let it ring until your roommate throws a pillow at you.
Why it’s great:
● No more snooze abuse: Wake Up Call forces you to get up and interact, making it much harder to get back to sleep.
● Customizable wake-up messages: You can even choose what the robot voice tells you. Need a stern drill sergeant yelling at you? No problem.
● Affordable: The app is free for a few calls, then it costs just a dollar for 12 calls. That’s cheaper than a cup of coffee and much more effective.
Bonus tip: Put your phone across the room so you have to get out of bed to answer it. Unless you’re a ninja, in which case you can probably just throw a ninja star at the answer button.
So if you’re looking for a foolproof way to wake up on time, give Wake Up Call a try. It could be the best thing that ever happened to you in the morning…or the most annoying, depending on how much you love sleep.
