Use a less hostile sound, give yourself enough sleep, and make the first task simpler. Notice whether the anger belongs to the alarm or to what the morning is asking from you.
The alarm may be carrying the whole day's weight
You hear it and feel instant fury. Part may be grogginess. Part may be that the sound represents a shift, commute, caregiving load, or day you don't want. Changing the ringtone can soften the entrance without settling what waits behind it.
Choose a clear but tolerable sound and stop placing the speaker beside your head. Keep the task fair. Starting every day with punishment can make avoidance more likely.
Listen to the pattern without obeying every feeling
Ask whether anger eases after ten minutes and whether it is worse after short sleep. If the whole day feels unbearable, look at burnout, mood, work, and support rather than treating the alarm as the only problem.
Persistent rage, depression, or distress deserves help. Riso can change how the alarm is dismissed; it can't make an intolerable life situation acceptable.
Common questions
Should I use music I love?
You can, but repeated alarm use may change how you feel about the song.
Can sleep inertia affect mood?
Yes. Grogginess after waking can include irritability and poor judgment for a while.
