"Forget about waking up to a simple beep or a predictable ringtone on your phone. This fall, it's all about rising with flair and starting your day on a dramatic note. All you need to get started? Some loud opera music, of course. On TikTok, creators have been setting their morning alarms to play "Overture" from The Phantom of the Opera. This gothic organ riff is the perfect way to kick off spooky season, and it's also guaranteed to wake you from the dead of sleep."
"On Sept. 4, creator @keilahasminithumbs posted a clip with the song playing in the background. Her caption read, "Fun fact: This is the alarm that I wake up to every morning. It makes me feel like I'm Dracula awakening from his coffin." The clip now has nearly 10 million views and over 1.5 million likes. In her comments, someone said, "I just changed it, tysm for this life-changing idea." Another wrote, "Please tell me you sleep on your back and slowly sit straight up when you hear it.""
