Dawn Simulation.
Humans are wired to wake up to gradual light and birdsong, not 0 to 100 decibels.
The Nervous System Switch
Your body toggles between the Sympathetic (fight/flight) and Parasympathetic (rest/digest) systems.
A sudden alarm slams you into Sympathetic mode. A fading alarm stimulates the Reticular Activating System gently, letting you wake up while staying calm.
Sudden vs. Gradual
Volume: Square wave vs. linear rise over 30 minutes.
Heart Rate: +30-40 BPM spikes vs. steady +5-10 BPM.
Hormones: Adrenaline dump vs. natural serotonin rise.
Mood: Anxiety vs. calm focus.
Decibel Management
Wonderwake starts at -60 dB (whisper) and ramps to your max. Most people wake around 40-50 dB (quiet conversation), meaning they never hear the "loud" part of the alarm.
