School has started and my teen refuses to use an alarm, leaving me to do the wakeup myself. As thr door is locked, I cannot gently awaken them. So, I decided music was great and chose the following 3 songs (played in this order and the reaction):
- Viva La Vida - Coldplay
- [quiet groans from inside, no movement]
- Baby Shark
- [whimpers and the sound of pillows shuffling]
- Welcome to the Jungle - Guns & Roses
- [door flew open, I was forced to flee]
So three songs seems to be the sweet spot. I’d like to keep it fresh and change daily so they can’t adapt. Please give me your 3-song playlist so I can continue to psychologically torture wake my child for school every day.
One - creed
Detachable penis - king missle
Everybody shooters too - 42 dugg
Good morning sunshine by the narcissist cookbook
My entire senior year i had a cd player alarm clock that played reel big fish’s cover of “take on me” every morning at 6am after not getting any sleep the night before. It definitely got me up and going.
It’s opinionated, but anyway here’s my list lol
Toots & the Maytals - Broadway Jungle then The Toasters - I’m Running Right Through The World and finally Reel Big Fish - She Has a Girlfriend Now
Your teenager will feel like new
- MELT-BANANA - The Hive
- Anna Meredith - Nautilus
- Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy
If they’re not enough for your child to choose an alarm instead, I don’t know what is.
Brain Body by Acid Dad
This was fun! My suggestions are either themed around sleep or waking, and some are simply weird or discordant. All should be suitable for teenagers. Mostly older stuff that should jangle their brain a bit.
