TIL my sunrise alarm clock broke my hostel routine

I used to wake up with my phone in a bunk bed and feel groggy till noon. Got a cheap sunrise lamp in Bangkok for $18, now I set it by the window and I'm up before my alarm. Anyone else switch their wake-up setup after traveling for a few months?

That Bangkok sun lamp sounds like a smart find for $18. I had the same issue when I was bouncing around hostels in Vietnam last year, my phone alarm just was not cutting it. What really helped me was picking a fixed window seat and keeping my sleep mask off once the sun was up, even if I had to force myself to stare at the wall for ten minutes. Now I just leave the curtains half open and my body does the rest, no lamp needed most days.
