Indiana Jones theme. You’ll be able to take on whatever your day holds, up to and including fighting off Nazis. ---

Something slow and soothing from my cell phone file. Gotta lessen the chances of a heart attack when waking up. ---

If you want to start the day with a swagger, [Take Out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uENunBP8Rfg) by The Sound Defects: fat hip-hop beats with mariachi surf guitars and sleazy lounge keyboards will have you strutting out of bed like it’s the soundtrack to your own biopic. Srsly cool. ---

I’m a Man - by Chicago Initial volume should be eleven or forty-two depending on your scale. Starts with bass, adds background drums, adds percussion (the music is building giving you a chance to wake before), adds organ, adds guitar, then they start wailing on the GUITARS, FINALLY THE VOCAL CHANT "I’M A MAN, YES I AM, AND I LOVE YOU SO!!😃 By this time you’d better be up.

I use “Simon Says (Get The Fuck Up)” by Pharoahe Monch, which I believe is out of print and probably not that appealing to most readers here (but actually a fairly sizable hit in '90s hip-hop and highly relevant for its purpose ). ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > Pink Floyd - “Time” I love that song but as many times as I’ve fallen asleep listening to The Dark Side of the Moon, it would probably lull me back to sleep! ---
