The least jarring method is to get enough sleep, food, water and exercise and don't set an alarm. I've started to use alarms when absolutely necessary recently, but since covid lockdowns I've been home based and either my kids wake me up or I naturally wake up in good time for work or whatever I have planned for the day. If this doesn't happen, you probably have some issues that you need to deal with. Of course I'll set an alarm if I have an important meeting or need to catch an early train or something, but that really hasn't happened that much in the last 5 years.
