Yup. I set my alarm based on when I start work, with 6.20 being the earliest. I literally can’t remember the last time it was my alarm that woke me

Woke up for my alarm for work this morning and fell back asleep. My mum called me 20 minutes before I was supposed to start, which was so lucky because I wouldn’t have woken up.
Does anyone here wake up early everyday without an alarm?

How much sleep do you get?
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Normally about 8.5h

Yeah. My alarm is really a backup to make sure I don’t sleep through, which is pretty rare for me.

Do you feel like you get enough sleep?

I only need about 5-6 hours naturally, any more than that and I feel sluggish and a bit discombobulated lol. I get tired early though, so I like to be in bed by 9-9:30pm and resting my back and legs for a bit before I actually go to sleep. I have to make myself stay awake a bit longer or I’ll drop off to sleep and do that thing where I wake up and think, “oh that was a good sleep, I wonder what time it is?” and it’s 1am! Otherwise I frequently sleep in a kind of split shift, where I get 3 hours then get up, check on the kids, security camera etc and then go back to bed and get a couple more eventually. I used to get really bummed over the whole “people need to sleep for 8 hours” thing until I accepted that this is my “natural” and it works for me.
