Can't get out of bed? Keep hitting snooze until you're late? WakeNow is the alarm you can't ignore. Tapping a button is not enough. To silence WakeNow you must complete a mission. Your brain activates, your body moves, and there is no going back to bed. MISSIONS THAT ACTUALLY WAKE YOU UP Pick a different challenge every morning: • Math — solve problems to silence the alarm • Memory — recall sequences and patterns • Writing — type a phrase to prove you are awake • Push-ups — move your body to earn the silence • Code scan — scan a code in another room to force yourself up Every mission is designed to activate your mind or your body.
