Nurse Issues Warning For Anyone Who Sets Multiple Alarms To Wake Them Up In The Morning

If you’re one of those people who set five alarms “just to be safe,” a nurse has a warning.

Jordan Bruss, a registered nurse who’s gone viral on TikTok, says those extra alarms are secretly harming your body — and your mood. “Don’t keep traumatizing yourself,” she urges gently.

When you hit snooze again and again, your brain never gets back into deep rest. Experts call it sleep fragmentation — those short, broken moments of rest that leave you groggy, anxious, and drained. Each alarm jolts your body into a mini fight-or-flight response, flooding it with stress hormones before you even leave bed. Over time, that rush of adrenaline can trigger fatigue, mood swings, even heart strain or weight gain.

One sleep coach confessed a client once set over 20 alarms, each five minutes apart. “They thought it helped,” she said, “but it was ruining their mornings.”

So what’s the fix? Move your alarm across the room. Build a small ritual to look forward to — a stretch, a song, a quiet coffee.

Good sleep hygiene is a big part of my physical and mental health. I promise I would not be in the shape I am in without doing some serious research in the deep sleep department. Don’t cause yourself extra physical and mental stress. Excess cortisol levels make you gain and hang on to weight. So when the alarm goes off, it’s time, get up. You’ll look and feel better! #fyp #sleep #sleephygiene #cortisol #cortisollevels #healthylifestyle #healthcoach #lifecoach #nursecoach

Because how you wake up can shape your entire day. And maybe, just maybe… one alarm is all your body ever needed. 🌅
