Thread: Is this true for everyone

Whenever i tell myself before bed to wake up for WBTB 6 hours later, IT WORKS! It's like i am setting a mental alarm clock. Every time i autosuggest that i wake up sometime in the night, I DO! Maybe i wake up anyways, but the thought of it makes me actually remember.

I just find it really useful

I'm not sure if it is really that way I just know that soemtimes when I have something really important to do I'll end up waking up about an hour before on my own. I think the whole mental thing has a little bit to do with when you wake up.

If I set an alarm (unless its an every day thing) I usually wake up before it. Its probably because we're awake between our dreams, but we usually just roll over and fall back asleep. But if we know our alarm is going to go off, maybe we have more difficulty going back to sleep so we lay there long enough to remember.

This happens to me inconsistently. Sometimes, I can just think about a little bit before I fall asleep and I'll wake up somewhere around that time, but not right on the dot. Other times that's not enough and I just wake up whenever. Those are the days that I'm probably extra tired.

If i set my alarm for bout 3:00 and wake up 3:00 every day for a week ill start waking up 3:00 with no alarm ?

Usually right before it because your body anticipates it after awhile.

I start waking up these days about 30 minutes before my alarm goes off... Not always, but I start to wake up and go back to sleep. (Harder to get up after hitting snooze ~_~)

Eventually, and if you wanted to, I'd think so. If you keep your sleep schedule constant, it will become more frequent and accurate.
