I have trouble getting out of bed in the morning...
...especially when it's cold outside. All I want to do is wrap up warm in my nice duvet. However, the Cosmos isn't going to observe itself, and I have to get to work at a decent hour. Until now I have relied on my mobile for the soothing tones of "wake up Jim... open your eyes" - repeated in a mechanically soothing voice over and over till I get up (or turn it off). But now I have got an alarm on my computer which can play a song from my iTunes library at a set time. At the moment I have it set to start at zero volume at 7am, then ramp up over a period of 2 minutes. If I'm not up in 15 minutes, it turns off. I love technology (thank Jobs).
This was really nice this morning - I awoke from my slumber to the sounds of Air (La Femme d'Argent). That was very relaxing, but didn't really have the desired effect of motivating me to actually get out of bed and into the shower. Instead I lay there and dreamed away for a little more (I had one of those infuriating dreams where you dream you have woken up and are going about your business. I was livid when I realised I had to re-live the whole thing again!). My question - what songs would be ideal to wake up to? I have a "Songs to wake up to" playlist which is sampled randomly, but they're all pretty mellow at the moment, e.g.:
