I’ve been using this song as my phone alarm for the past 20 years because of its stepped increase in intensity at the beginning. Usually I wake up before the shakers come on. I know I was in a deep sleep if the first “Baba Yetu” hits.
I got around this by using a song that already made me anxious. I used the drowning music from Sonic the Hedgehog. Let me tell you, it fucking woke me up without fail. I was up and ready to go after the first six notes.

I’ve heard that doing this can condition you to be anxious when you hear a song.
