The "Monk Mode" Morning: Waking Up in Alpha State

Most alarms trigger a cortisol panic response. Learn how to wake up in a flow state, ready for deep work immediately.

The Alarm Clock Trauma

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. That sound triggers a fight-or-flight response. Your heart rates spikes, cortisol floods your system, and your day starts in "defense mode." This ruins your morning creativity.

The Alpha Awakening

High performers (and monks) aim to wake up in the Alpha State (8-13 Hz). This is a calm, lucid state perfect for visualization and deep work.
