Waking up at anytime i think of

karlog

Ok this will sound completely stupid and i might come off sounding a bit like a fruitcake, but anyway, here it goes:

Usually before i go to sleep, i think of a time that i want to wake up at, for e.g 8:00, 9:20, 9:45, 10:30am etc. Then when i wake up, i find the time i was thinking of displayed right there on my digital clock (and no i didn't set the alarm to go off at that time). Now this doesn't happen everytime but it has happened alot. So it cant be coincidence.....i think.

So anyone else experience the same thing?


I'm not crazy by the way.

Would it be a case of you getting up at around 9 every morning give or take 20 mins and so your body is used to it .. and now you're trying to make a pattern out of something which may not be quiet as exact as you think?

Don't worry, it happens to me too. I never bother with an alarm clock. It doesn't make you less crazy though!

No big deal man. you should know, human brain is a mystery. We have this function (or so called our own clock) inside (yes) inside our brain. Most people dont bother using it but it does exist and can be used to replace alarm clocks or whatever else.
I do it the whole time so chillax

I do this - no matter what time I'm set to wake up for (and believe me there's no routine - it could be 7.45 one day and 11.30 the next) I set my alarm but always, always without fail wake up a couple of minutes before my alarm is due to go off. It baffles me!

nice thread.
i also have been doing this since i was a young teenager.. or i guess i noticed it when i first had an alarm for gettign up in the morning. i guess around 17/18
as others said. id wake up before the alarm and then sit there waiting for it to go off so i can turn it off and go back to sleep haha.

it mostly works when i say the time quietly and also in my head like 3-5 times.really focus on the tiem and picture the clock u have with that time and the morning light. i found the more i picture the scene the more likely i will wake up on the button.

The Big Red Button

I only do this if I've to get up earlier than usual for something important.

For example, say if I set my alarm for 6.30 and am thinking of the reason I've to get up so early before I go to sleep, I then wake up just a couple of minutes before 6.30 - maybe about 6.27 or 6.28.

This has happened me several times. It usually only happens if I've something stressful on that day, like an exam I've to get up early to study for or similar.

Blame it on the

The same thing happens to me also,i'm nearly sure about five minutes before i wake up that i think about what i will be doing for the day,like from what time i'll make the lunch,tea,dinner,mow the lawn,or something thats not even a regular chore...its like i've have premonitions before i wake up in the morning...weird or what!!!

LaMortis

Well they say that a human brain never stops working, even in sleep. I talk myself into whatever time i want to wake up at before i fall asleep (or if i want to remember my dreams in the morning, or if i want to have a lucid dream) by repeating it over and over again, and it never fails.
It's a great device, especiall when you train your brain for it.

I know how you feel. I do it too. It's just one of those unexplained mysteries. I'm sure everyone can do it.

When I was in secondary school I used to always wake up at the time I needed to - admittedly it was generally the same time every morning, but it used to work even when it wasn't the same time every morning.

I always set an alarm now, but I almost always wake up just before it goes off...even though I have to get up at different times every day now.

it works

Or maybe you just wake up multiple times, see the clock, it's not the time you programmed, go back to sleep and forget you've woken up.

Yeah I can do the same thing, I just pick a time in my head and I can wake up to within a few minutes of it.
