  • No sure shot but it does sound like it’s not the alarm that’s the problem. You’ve trained yourself to be able to ignore your alarm, that it doesn’t mean “get-out-of-bed” time to your unconscious brain. Change the alarm tone on your phone and have a few practice sessions. Set your new alarms after a short nap and as soon as those alarms go off throw off all the covers and stand up fully as soon as you can. The idea is to retrain your brain to get up all the way at the sound of that alarm.

    Another thing that’s really helped me personally is installing a smart light bulb that turns itself on just before my sound alarms start going off. That way I’m not trying to force myself awake in a dark noisy room.











  • Do you use powder, minced or fresh? Previous two the fix is just to use more but with fresh it’s a little more finicky. When you’re mincing your fresh garlic cut it a bunch of times, add some kosher salt and just scrape and mush everything together with your knife. Garlic flavor comes from the compounds locked behind the cell walls so you’ve got to breach as many of those cell walls as possible if you want max garlic flavor.

    Also as the other guy said heat will also denature the garlic flavor quite a bit so if you want that super sharp fresh garlic taste then it needs to be hot as little as possible.
