Social Do you still need alarms to wake you up ?

[Your Account]

I'd say in the last couple of months, maybe a year , I've actually started to wake up on my own by default at 7-7:30am , at the time when I have to start preparing myself for work.
My alarm on my mobile phone is still set to 7:30 but I just wake up like that without alarm waking me up.
I have more than 20 years of experience of exiting the sleep mode with the alarms help , so I can go to work.
Now , it looks like I've reached a point where I had this event happened so many times at usually the same time, that I just dont need the alarm to wake me up.
This happens on Sat and Sun also .

my schedule changes constantly. Nightshifts, dayshifts, weekends, weekdays, 8 hour shifts, 12 hour shifts. I would be fucked without an alarm clock.

Only during Winter.

I wake up with the sun every morning.

When I was employed I always set an alarm as safety net but never needed it. The only time I've ever needed the alarm was if I had an early morning flight to catch and had to get up at 4 AM.

My alarm is set for 4:47am, I need to leave for work at 5:30am each day.

I 100% need an alarm.

I'm already at the store or picking up early morning breakfast tacos when my wake up alarm goes off...

Half the time I wake before my alarm rings.

 

[Fedorgasm]

Without an alarm I'd sleep till noon

 

[filthybliss]

Yes and I need several of them because I spam the snooze button.

Haven’t used an alarm in maybe a decade. Internal clock goes off about an hour before I need to get up, all the time.

My alarm almost never catches me by surprise.

My brain doesn't seem to enjoy being woken from deep sleep by an alarm so I seem to ascend from yhe depths of sleep and float pretty close to the surface about a half an hour or so before my alarm goes off if I know I've gotta get up.

Often I'll forget to turn my alarms off on days I don't need to wake up at thayt time and then I'll be woken from a deep sleep.

It's annoying. I feel like I don't really get my full sleep if I know there's an alarm coming. I gotta figure out a way to trick myself into thinking there isn't an alarm set, and still manage to get to work.

Then what do you do? Just get up? Or do you lay in bed doing 10 percent sleeping and glancing at the clock constantly?

No, I have cats. They have trained me to wake up plenty early in the morning.

Get up and figure something out. Check credit cards and bank statements. Look on here and post stupid shit. Anything really, because I can never go back to sleep. Unfortunately I’m an insomniac, so best to get up and do anything but toss and turn and become agitated for the rest of the day.

I set an alarm as a backup but I wake up beforehand 99% of the time.

 

[Bacco]

I need alarm to wake my woman, them my woman to wake me

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Yes, especially if I took indica or indica-dominant RSO the night before.

Sleepy time!

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

I work variable shifts at early hours of the morning.

Even if I could get by without an alarm, I'd be too worried to sleep without it.

 

[goOb]

If I didn't have multiple alarms I'd be fired.

 

[sleepwalk]

I try to get up a little after 4AM so yes.
