*Getting ready for a Dr. Cox style rant*... ok

I haaaaa-aaa-aaa-te alarm clocks. I think they are worse than a hard kick in the crotch, traffic in Newark, and that guy who tells you how to get free money from the government. I hate them so much I had to come up with a new word that's stronger than hate. I megaloath them.

*Back to me*... ok

I would suggest waking up naturally for your WILD techniques. You hit the end of your second REM cycle sometime around 3:00 and your body is in very very light sleep. Any stimulus (like say having to go to the bathroom) will wake you up. Drink a lot of water before bed and you'll wake up in time to do your WILD and you won't have to shut off an alarm.

Sometimes the body won't be able to WILD because it is just too tired, so water allows you the full night sleep that you need because the alarm won't wake you up, and don't worry, your bladder can hold it all through the night.
