Yea, I wouldn't say refreshed, I don't hop out of bed whistling show tunes or anything .

That said, I am definitely sold on it being the best way to wake up. 90% of mornings I just open my eyes (no sound) and go.. "Oh, it's time to get up." I would say it makes me less groggy, I find that I am much more inclined to simply get out of bed than the usual groaning, fumbling for the sleep or silence button and then sitting in bed trying to motivate myself to get up. If I happen to sleep all the way through to the alarm it plays little bird sounds which start pretty quiet and slowly rise to a moderate level. I have never had issues sleeping past the alarm. The bird sounds are tacky for sure, you can switch it to radio etc if you prefer.

My wife straight up laughed at me when I bought it, but she came around very quickly.
