Pure witchcraft!

I think it is Wii Rod, not weirod.
- My wife will sometimes say she’s setting a “mental alarm” when she’d like to get up at a certain time but it’s not actually critical to be awake then and she tends to wake up right around then. There are plenty of times she wakes up one minute before her real alarm, too.
  
  Your wife's probably a witch bro. Tomorrow she'll say she regularly gets a good night's sleep. Witches man, I'm telling you.
  
  I’ve done the e wake up <5 minutes before my alarm lots of times. The problem is then I go right back to sleep and snooze the alarm for the next 8-24 minutes and end up late.
  
  See, I can do this, and often do. I wake up at 0730 naturally and it’s a great feeling when I wake up a couple of mins before the alarm. But I do set an alarm - because I’d never, ever bank on it.
  Sod’s Law I’d sleep in when I need to catch a flight.
  
  I kinda have to figure out when i want to wake up before i go to bed, and then it's enough. I have never used an alarm in 20 years. I just know when i wanna be up and i wake up before it. Sue me.
  
  Does she sleep a consistent schedule & get enough sleep, or is she able to do this despite waking up after 5 hours of sleep at a time that's 4 hours earlier when working than on weekends?
- Dyslexics of the world untie!
  
  And just theiR bodies

I use an alarm, but 9/10 times I wake within 10 minutes before the alarm.
- My body has started doing this and I hate it.
  
  Just drink a ton of vodka. You’ll never have to worry about waking up before your alarm goes off.
  
  The worst part is when its a weekend and your alarm isn't going off at 6am but your body wakes up at 5:50 with a paniced feeling amyway

Why don't you people proofread these things before posting?
- You think we’re a bunch of weirods?
- Just your bodies internal clock.
- Lol it's a meme not a research paper ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
  
  Weirod.
  
  So everyone should just ignore basic spelling, grammar and punctuation? I seriously don't understand that mindset. All you're doing by not caring is making it even more obvious that you're an idiot.
- tyops improove engagement
- I didn't see anything wrong with it

My bodies interal clock is spot on 99.9999% of the time. The one time it's wrong and im late for my own funeral

I used to need a bunch of them, then I got old and started going to bed at 9 almost every night and now I wake up within five minutes of 7 o clock EVERY day.
Probably would have been that way all along if not for all the drugs and alcohol I guess

I don't think there's a bigger bliss in this world than waking up randomly at night, looking over at the clock and realizing it's still early as fuck so you can go back to sleep 🤤
- wakes up in the middle of the night
  realises it's 4 am, need to wake up at 5am
  can't fall asleep for 45min ..
  no profit
- When I was a kid, I would set an alarm for like 2am, just for this. I was a dumb kid (now not a kid...)
  
  I was also a dumb kid!
- There is, it's waking up early thinking you're late to work / school only to realize you've woken early and today is your day off
- unless you stress out about not being asleep and get angry and then you can't sleep! hahahaha
  
  Me when I have morning meetings, every time without fail. I specifically ask people don't schedule shit until 10AM because of this, and most people are chill with it, thankfully.

The trick is to figure out how long you sleep naturally and go to sleep that amount of time before you need to wake up. Doesn't work for insomniacs unfortunately.

My cats wake me up, does that count?
- Talk about witchcraft!
- That's totally normal. You should be afraid of the weirod people, too
  
  I, for one, welcome the new rod people.
- I usually get up by 5. If breakfast isn't out by 6, I will certainly know about it.
  They are a useful backup to have.
- Did your cats write the text on this meme?

My cat has a more precise internal clock than humans could ever engineer.
- Hint: it wakes up so punctually because it can hear the mice scratching in the walls, who are reacting to your boiler starting to heat the pipes at 7am sharp.
- Yes, he knows when I'm in that deep sleep like 30-60m before my alarm goes off, so that when I give him the boot I don't have enough time to go back to bed for any meaningful sleep.

If I don't get up before 8:30am or so, my husky will softly grumble until I get up. The grumbles get progressively louder.
Edited to add A video!

I am all of these depending on how depression/anxiety has been treating me lately

I don't need an alarm.
I wake up every few hours regardless.
And I'm always awake about 20 minutes before my alarm, no matter that time I set it to.
Existence is pain
- Set your alarm to 20 minutes after you want to wake up. Come on, that was easy.
  
  I've legitimately tried that, even tried no alarm at all.
  The no alarm is a bad idea just because every so often I just sleep right on through, if I've had a particularly harsh day.
  I think my brain just goes "you sneaky fuck, I know you REALLY want to get up at 7 so we are getting up at 630ishjust to be sure."

Having kids removed the need for alarms. The whole house is awake between 630 and 7 every day.

People with rude cats
- Bio alarm

The names Rod. Wei Rod
- Weirod son of Nimrod, first of his name, hunter of rabbits
  
  Lemmy gets Old Testament.

i don't need any alarm because i have cats
- Cats with baseball bats.

That’s basically everyone with a decent routine, no? I go to bed the same time, so I wake up the same time. The alarm is just for backup.
If anyone has trouble sleeping/waking with a set routine, there’s probably other factors at play like interrupted sleep cycles or sleep apnea.
- Or stress or mental issues. Therapy can really help here.

I legitimately thought I activated some sort of extrasensory perception when I learned my internal clock worked

I have a baby. No need for an alarm, he has one built in 👍

Ya'll really got it out for servicemembers.

A propos of nothing, I think this is one of the funniest images ever made. The pure horror of the small child, the utter confident terror of the elder, the random shingles, the unexpected wooden bucket, the crazy cute rabbit staring at the unexpected wooden bucket - just pure genius
- Pretty sure those shingles are asbestos as well.

I get up at the same time every weekday and it’s just programmed into my body to get up then or an hour later on weekends. It took 40 years to develop this superpower.
- "Is it possible to learn this power?"
  
  40 years as OP says ;) also you need to go to sleep at the same time

I sure love going to bed at a reasonable time, so I don't need external devices to wake up :3

just drink a bottle of water if you have to wake up early. alarms are uncivilized
- Yeah! And drink a bottle of whiskey if you have to wake up late and can't be bothered to cancel the multiple alarms in your off day.
  
  hell yes brother/sister!

I usually wake up around 5-10 mins prior to my alarm if I slept the right amount (around 6 hours). In the rare occassion I get woken up by my alarm I feel the rest of the day like shit (very tired, annoyed at evrything, very sensitive to light, need 10 coffees to survive).
- Same. If I am in a good sleep routine, I consistently wake up about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off, especially in the spring and summer. In winter I am somewhat more likely to immediately fall back asleep because I don't hear the birds chirping.
- 6 hours ?? Don't we all need more than 11? Guess I'm abnormal, ha

I'm everything in this photo. I can wake up if I need to at 600, but I get paranoid that I won't so I set my alarm for 530. Then I get paranoid that I'll sleep through that alarm so I set one for 545, and finally another for 600. I don't trust snooze because I've accidentally turned off the alarm too many times while trying to hit snooze.
But most of the time I will wake up 5 minutes before each of the three alarms.
- Android needs to not have the snooze and stop button be so damn close to each other.
  
  Yeah, I would prefer if snooze were tap the button and turn off was hold for 3 seconds or something.

Alarm is set for 4:45am, which lets me get my teeth brushed and pre-workout downed before the gym two blocks from my house opens at 5. I'm up at 3:45-4:15am every morning. I go to bed at 8pm. Once every 1-2 months, I'll hear my alarm.
- You must not work 8-5... I need my long nights to get revenge on how much of my day was spent working
  
  Fuck! It's me right there represented in this comment! Fuck!
  
  I'm an 8-5'er alright. I live for the mornings. I like to think I'm blasting through my best energy for the day before I even get to work.

It really sucks when it doesn't work though. I used to wake up 5 minutes before my alarm like clockwork, and then ONE day I didn't set it. Well, guess what phone call I get that lovely morning.
- Was it about your car warranty?
  
  Even worse! It was about a car with a warranty that wasn't being worked on!

And weirod your body, too!

No, just arthritis.

I used to always wake up like 1-5 minutes before my alarm. Since moving that has changed though and my internal clock is lacking nowadays.

And there is me that need electrical shock to wake up , and sometime I bypass the pain

My life changed after getting a Lumie light about 8 years ago I think? I haven't woken up to a noise alarm since.

If I focus on it the night before for like 5 min and visualise my morning, I can reliably get up with about 5 minutes of prep before my alarm goes off.

if you have a consistent sleep schedule and good sleep hygiene you will not need an alarm either, unless you've got a medical condition that interferes with hormone production or something
- B u l l s h i t.
  My chronotype is effin shifted, so I naturally wake around 9-10 am. Never have I ever had such tolerant period in my life to allow this, I always had to get up at 6 am, and for the past two years, 4:30 am daily.
  The only thing I got from keeping it consistient is lack of rest, because let me tell ya, sure as hell hard to go to sleep at 8 pm if I get my biggest energy spike at 7 pm -.-'
