Schedule a simple check several minutes after dismissal when returning to bed is your usual failure. Keep it noticeable without making the whole morning feel watched.
The mission worked, and then the blanket did too
You walked to the bathroom, scanned the code, and somehow woke again forty minutes later. That doesn't mean the first task was useless; it means the vulnerable moment came afterward, after the sound was quiet and the bed became inviting again.
A wake check appears after that gap and asks for a quick response. Time it around the point where you usually sit down, scroll, or return to bed.
Use it as a safety net, not a morning supervisor
Keep the check simple and pair the interval with light, clothes, food, or leaving the bedroom. If you are always waiting anxiously for the check, it is too intrusive or poorly timed.
Riso can verify that second moment. Once staying up becomes normal, reduce or remove the check. The feature should earn its place.
Common questions
How long after the alarm should it appear?
Choose the point where you usually relapse, often five to fifteen minutes later.
Do I need a wake check forever?
No. Use it while it solves a real pattern and remove it when it no longer helps.
