Do you need an alarm to wake up on time or do you/can you wake up on time without the alarm?

I suffer from insomnia so, I really need to set alarms. I either fall asleep way too late and can't wake up in time, or I fall asleep too early and wake up way before the alarm. At night I can do alright if I drink a whole lot of strong IPA's and pass out around midnight, but I'm usually still drunk when it's time to take my kid to school. If I try to day sleep though I usually get about 1 hour of sleep... but I have to slam a beer.

Alcohol free... shit... I'm all fucked up. I sleep maybe 3 hours at the most... and I'm so tired I can't get anything done.

I blame it on when I was in the military and my division officer liked to fuck with our sleep. 72 hour watches where sleep is not allowed and then exactly 8 hours to sleep and then it would be right back to 72 hours of fun fun fun. Did that for about 2 years. Now I'm out, and can't hold a job, rely on alcohol to function at all and I'm seriously considering getting VA money because of it.

Strangely enough, I always set my alarm, but my body usually wakes up a few minutes before when I set it. It's like my body subconsciously knows and is in tune with the exact time I set the alarm for. I think it's related to stress if I had to guess. I wish I could have those extra few minutes to sleep rather than waking up 😅

I have alexa scream "wake up" and often don't notice. I sleep like the dead on a regular day which is terrifying when someone is relying on me.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

My body and mind have "built-in alarm clocks" that just naturally wake me up to the times I've set in my mind.

[AviatorTom]

It depends. If it's the usual time, my body usually wakes up on its own. If it's not the usual time, say I have to get up very early to catch a flight, I use an alarm.

I usually get up before my alarm, but I have a pretty late start to my day so I can afford to sleep in if I really want to

[petitedollbabee]

I used to need an alarm but my son always wakes me up early these days so it’s not usually needed now.

[BCRanger10]

These days, it seems like I tend to wake up about 15 or 20 minutes before my alarm goes off.

[Nikki1989]

No alarm. I am up by 5:30am 7 days a week.

[MemeSupreme]

my body has its own alarm system that goes off every few hours

its annoying

[jazzy34]

Oh yes. I'm a hard sleeper who needs multiple alarms, lol.

[douride2]

I always wakeup on time. The only time I use an alarm is if I am getting up way earlier then usual.

[Friendlybro79]

Not really but I set one to be sure. I'm usually up about 15 min before it goes off every day.

[Shiprex]

Alarms are my backup to my early riser nature.

[McSteamy]

Usually i wake up around 6 am. So I don't need alarm.

[Xawyx-2]

Yes, I need it, I'm not really a morning type.

[Staximus]

Yeah, I work nights at one job and mornings at another

[Anonymous]

Depends how long I'm sleeping. Anything longer than 6 hrs and I'm waking up. If it's shorter I'm setting an alarm.

[Ermmhey]

I can wake up without an alarm. But I still keep one

[Paige90]

No I don't need one

[WhitneySnow]
