Stop the Panic.
Waking up shouldn't feel like a heart attack. Here's the biology of why your current alarm is making you anxious.
The "Explosion" Effect
Imagine a caveman sleeping. A sudden loud noise usually meant danger. Your brain hasn't evolved since then—when your radar alarm blares, your amygdala (fear center) fires before logic can wake up.
You’re flooded with cortisol and adrenaline. Your heart rate can double instantly. This daily trauma sets a baseline of anxiety for the entire morning.
Long-Term Damage
Chronic cortisol elevation leads to weight gain, brain fog, and weakened immunity. Starting every day with a spike keeps your nervous system on high alert.
The Gentle Fix
Wonderwake's gradual fade respects the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR). Cortisol still rises (you need it), but it happens naturally—without the fight-or-flight overdose.
