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

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

Why don't you people proofread these things before posting?
You think we’re a bunch of weirods?

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.

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 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.

I have a baby. No need for an alarm, he has one built in 👍
And there is me that need electrical shock to wake up , and sometime I bypass the pain
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.
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
I really hate that I can't get a lie in on the weekend. Kids wake up and my brain wakes up. I'll have to start going to bed earlier....which I hate. I want to stay up and play video games and wake up late. But I guess I'm becoming an old man and need to embrace the old man life.

Just drink a ton of vodka. You’ll never have to worry about waking up before your alarm goes off.
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.
My life changed after getting a Lumie light about 8 years ago I think? I haven't woken up to a noise alarm since.
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 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.

The names Rod. Wei Rod
Weirod son of Nimrod, first of his name, hunter of rabbits
Lemmy gets Old Testament.
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!
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.
And weirod your body, too!
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?"
My cats wake me up, does that count?
Did your cats write the text on this meme?
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.
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 think it is Wii Rod, not weirod.
Dyslexics of the world untie!
And just theiR bodies
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.
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.
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.
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?

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