Is it healthy to set multiple alarms?
The Sleep Health Foundation reinforces these views. It explains how multiple alarms repeatedly cause the brain to start waking up and then settle again, only to be disturbed five minutes later. The repetitive awakenings disrupt sleep quality and are the most inefficient way of trying to get extra sleep.
How far apart should you set alarms?
Ideally, your alarms should be in 10-15 minute increments. Either using one device or your multiple devices, input alarm times that are 10-15 minutes apart. If you have several alarms, you may want to space the first two 10 or 15 minutes apart, and then closer together as you get to your final alarm.
