You could try using Cromite just for this.

Use bridges? I don’t think it would be possible to block WebTunnel for example.

Waking up early still feels pretty shitty though, at least in the first hour. I sleep at 8PM and get up at around 4AM, so a full 8 hours, but it’s still possible for me to just fall asleep again and wake up at 6AM. It is not that I prefer sleeping for 10 hours either, because I usually have a mild headache during the days in which I overslept, and if I sleep at 10PM I wake up at 6AM feeling pretty normal. My guess is that this may be because of the lack of light earlier in the morning, but who knows.

I’ve been looking into daylight simulation alarms just to test this, but I feel like they’re a lot more expensive than they should be as LED lights on a timer (60USD).

Me too. Please.

It still does, but they did add a username system so you don’t need someone’s phone number to contact them.

The lack of PFS and 256bit encryption in Session is a little concerning, and one other advantage of SimpleX is that it has no unique identifiers at all while Session uses random IDs and Signal requires a phone number.

I would also use Signal instead, but Session’s situation is not that bad unless one needs to accommodate the CIA or Mossad as part of their threat model, in which case I think SimpleX would be a better option. This is also in the article you posted:

Edit: I didn’t notice that the original commenter had said they “switched from Signal” at first, which is definitely worse.
