I’m surprised you talked about white noise apps and not smart alarm apps, like Sleep Cycle. I’ve been using it for about 2 month now and it’s incredibly helpful to help waking up fresh instead of groggy.

Also, how about the 2-minutes strategy to fight off procrastination? I’m talking about the principle where you promise yourself to only do something for 2 minutes when you feel extremely lazy. It works wonders.

cheers.
