Yeah forsure, I always wake up right before it. If someone sets an alarm, I never use one myself/.
The problem with this that I find, is I often wake up on the hour every hour and don't get a proper sleep.
But it pays off because it helps with remembering dreams to a point (sometimes makes it harder)
but also gives a variety of dreams if I don't just decide to go back into the same one.

I'm always amazed by the internal clock. I never know what time it is when I'm awake.
Also, sometimes I'll check a clock in a dream before waking myself up and it's usually really close if not exactly the right time when I wake up. That almost freaks me out a bit.

I have to go do some stuff, but I'm going to search for a time thread when I come back. This has always been a big topic of interest to me.
