Routine matinale+comment to awake in music with its computer
Lately, I fell on the article How to get up right away when your alarm goes off from Steve Pavlina. And I recognized myself well in the image of the guy who is long in awaking the morning. You know that which presses on repetition on the button snooze history to trail with the bed It is true that one in vain has all the good intentions of the world, difficult to be disciplined with the embrum� spirit which one has with the alarm clock!
In the article of Steve Pavlina, the solution suggested was quite simply to go to place the good practice directly in the unconscious one. For that, one uses a morning routine. I.e. that with each alarm clock, one will repeat exactly with identical the same activities, always in the same order. Thus, the spirit is conditioned little by little to behave same manner each morning a such robot. And the phase of alarm clock seems much insurmountable since it does not require any more any conscious effort. One awakes a little like a sleepwalker guided by his unconscious.
I thus wanted to test that, but with a small variation: to awake me in music. Being given that the music has an immense capacity on our emotions, and that the rate/rhythm makes us move, there is what to offer an ideal alarm clock. Moreover, that falls well because I have a repertory on my computer where my musics favories are organized according to the effect which they get: calm, festive, optimistic, dramatic, paradisiac, glaucous The festive category with the advantage of giving at the same time optimism and dynamism, it thus is very indicated to the alarm clock.
Other favours to awake in music: to associate the pleasure of listening with the alarm clock. One wants inevitably less to so stop an alarm clock instead of a beep stridant and aggravating, one of our preferred songs draws us from the sleep! (of course it is not necessary either that it is a lullaby)
Now, to awake in music, it is well, but how to make? A solution is to plan a musical alarm on its computer. Knowing that the computer does not require to be moving when you sleep since it can awake him also all alone if it is in mode takes care (in any case on the sufficiently recent computers).
Here thus small a tutoriel to explain you how to do that. It is a little technical, but I will guide you step by step
How to awake in music with its computer
1) First of all, you need Winamp. It is a very known multimedia player who replaces the multi-media Windows reader advantageously. Download it if you do not have it yet.
2) With winamp, you will create a list of songs, which you will call for example wakeup.m3u and which you will record in the C:\Program Files\Winamp repertory
3) Then, you will download 2 utilities: clamp and nircmd., that you will d�zipperez in the C:\Program Files\Winamp repertory in order to have the files clamp.exe and nircmd.exe in this repertory.
4) Then with memo pad of Windows, create textual file that you will call winamp.bat (note that it is not winamp.bat.txt but well winamp.bat), and copy stick the following lines inside:
REM ## Quitter Winamp if it is already open
clamp.exe /QUIT
REM ## Demarrage of winamp
clamp.exe /START
REM ## Effacer the list of current listening
clamp.exe /PLCLEAR
REM ## Chargement of the list of listening wakeup.m3u
clamp.exe /LOAD wakeup.m3u
REM ## One is placed on a song randomly
clamp.exe /PLSET RANDOM
REM ## Reglage of volume with 90 (possible values from 0 to 100)
clamp.exe /VOL =90
REM ## Winamp will play the list of listening in an unspecified order
clamp.exe /RANDOM ONE
REM ## Desactivation of the dumb mode of wav volume
clamp.exe /WAV TRANSFERS OFF
REM ## Reglage of wav volume with the max
clamp.exe /WAV VOLSET MAX
REM ## Appuyer on play
clamp.exe /PLAY
REM ## Desactivation of the dumb mode for general volume
nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 0
REM ## Reglage of general volume (possible values from 0 to 65535)
nircmd.exe setsysvolume 35535
Or download my file winamp.b�t. directly.
5) Then, create a task planned with the planner of task while following this tutoriel. Attention because in this tutoriel, it will be necessary for you to modify the winamp.exe winamp.m3u by winamp.bat, to obtain this:
(I advise you to make some tests to see whether the task is carried out correctly)
Here all. And it is already not badly. Do not hesitate to put questions if you have some difficulties in include/understand.
To also note the article How I found courage to rise early to Pierre Morsa, who proposes a complementary solution.
And to finish, I propose r��couter to you a small blow of Coils is All, a good candidate to place in your list of morning listening:

On Mac, I use a program called Awaken, which makes it possible to program the alarm clock of Mac at one specific time, then it plays a song among a list preselected in iTunes.

Those which have a iPod can also regulate alarm so that she plays a playlist. On the other hand, it will be necessary for you to connect it on your hi-fi system or one of these dock-high-speakers for iPod. I am on the competitor walkmans have a similar function.

Thank you for your returns, that should help those which do not like the technique to obtain the same result.
With is the fact, which your experiment after a regular use? Do you quickly weary yourselves music which you employ, or on the contrary that helps you with better awaking you?

when I alarm clock I have myself the impression that the music which I put the day before is strong HYPER.
Quelqu passed in the night to increase volume.
And if not, Ca really does not go on me, Ca disgusts me more song than another thing.
But nevertheless, when C is a small soft trick zenzile kind or other dub, Ca me alarm clock carefully C is desagrable especially never not to put 2 times the same song has to follow on the other hand!

I already used this technique, but the disadvantage is that it is necessary that the PC remains lit not all the night?

Argancel hello!
For my part I use my cellphone as awakes. I put there a song which I like and hop here me is awaked in music (yes, it is necessary to have a portable with a sound good quality).
Where the problems arrive, it is that at the end of a certain number of alarm clocks with this beautiful music, I associate my state of irritation against my alarm clock with this music which I any more have not suddenly supported. A true anchoring for what know a little the PNL

@Chocapic: me I did not put it too strong not to awake the neighbors, and I am rather glad to hear music quite positive and rythm�es, disco music kind, kool and the gang, village people, Jackson 5,
And with the shuffle, it is all the time a different song which is started!!
@geek, @512banque: my computer awakes him all alone provided that I put it in day before. And the day before extinguishes the computer completely.
Good I specify, it is a portable, I do not know if it is possible with a desktop machine.
@Nicolas: it is as in Clockwork orange then? You do not support any more of the songs that however you adored?

If not, for those which are afraid to hate the music that they put to awake, there is an infallible solution: to put a trick frankly irritating (strident ringing, military music the Alarm clock Of the Soldier, Patrick Bruel, Dorothee, etc: p), with any possibility of extinguishing it near the bed. You will be obliges to raise you
Perso, it is strident ringing, version telephones.
