What should you do in the first 10 minutes after waking up?
A simple four-step start to the day, with an honest label on how well each step is proven.

How every lesson is written
Sleep advice is easy to find and hard to trust. These four rules are how we try to earn it.
The answer comes first
Every lesson opens with a 30-second answer. You can stop there and still leave with what you came for.
Plain words
Short sentences. One idea at a time. Any science word is explained the moment it appears.
Sources you can check
Claims about sleep link to published research or public health guidance, listed at the end of the lesson.
Honest about the gaps
Where the evidence is thin, we say so. Each tip carries a label showing how well it is proven.
We make an alarm app, so we have an interest here. Wake School is written to be useful even if you never install it. It is general information, not medical advice. Mornio is not a medical product and cannot diagnose or treat anything.

Mornio is an iPhone alarm for people who turn the alarm off and go back to sleep. To stop it, you get up and scan a code you saved away from your bed. A few minutes later, it checks that you stayed up.
