I was reading something the other day on the internet about the body having its own very accurate 'clock mechanism'. When reading this i felt a little hesitant at first about believing it, until they used the example of somebody waking up a minute of so before their alarm is supposed to go off. Now this happened to me a lot when setting my alarm for school, but i thought it was just routine. Oddly though, when i thought i didn't need an alarm because i woke up naturally at the right time (1 minute before the alarm went off!) i kept sleeping in without it, or the thought of it going off, lol. I thought all this was just coincidence mixed with routine as it only happened about 2/3rds of the time.

However in the last 2 nights I've set my alarm for 6:00am and 5:00am, respectively, to try some WILDing. (Remember this is the end of the Summer and I've slept into 11:00am every day for the past 2 months!) The first morning however i first woke up at 5:57am with no apparent reason to do so, apart from my alarm about to go off! I thought that this might just be coincidence again. So to be sure i decided to change the alarm time to 5:00am for the next morning. And when the next morning came and i first woke up at 4:59am lol! This i thought was rather cool but unusual. I think i'll try a few more random times like 5:24am, ect... to be doubly sure!
I'll post my results here!

I just wanted to know, has anybody else had this experience? And, does anyone have any logical information on it? (The document i originally read was a little too abstract).

NB: I'll add that i'm a sleeper who generally never wakes up in the early morning/night randomly, its usually 1 long sleep without complications.
