I had a radio alarm that was set to Radio 4 for years, but then it broke and since then I've used my phone. You are right, I must find a replacement. The other thing that I've found helpful is the mediaeval concept of the "second sleep" - that our sleep cycles mean we may wake up in the night, then go back to sleep again, and that this is natural and ok. Absolves the insomniac guilt.
You're so right about the importance of absolving insomniac guilt -- I had read about the second sleep concept but never thought of it in that way, thank you!
You are so right about the not-phone alarm...I must resolve this!
It'll feel so much better, I promise!!

#1 the radio alarm / alarm clock has been a staple for me too. Helps a lot
Such a game-changer 🙌🏽
