Mornings In Russia

Name: Varvara Lyalyagina Hometown: born in St.Petersburg, currently live in Nizhny Novgorod Age: 31 Occupation: Human Resources manager My alarm is set for 7.00 am. I use the smart alarm which is supposed to wake me up gently depending on my sleeping cycle (usually starting from 6.30 am). It doesn't help - I am totally not an early bird.
