I wake up without an alarm clock every Morning.
Every Morning it feels great.
I build the rest of my life around it.
I like it most when I wake up before dawn.
How I did it: I would make sure to give myself at least ten hours of sleep time before my alarm would go off. I myself need a lot, like 9!
Oh and don't forget, most of us can't fall asleep if we wake up at 2 in the afternoon and want to go to sleep at 8 at night.
HAPPY SLEEPING!
Lessons & tips: If you have a lot of trouble getting to sleep try to buy a bottle of Melatonin, it is a natural sleep aid. No side effects either!

I need to have a normal time to go to bed, and stop drinking caffine all the time.
The sunlight helps a LOT. Woke up 7 minutes before my alarm this morning, at 6:23 AM. (Granted I went back to sleep for an hour after but hey I was tired :))
I call this goal complete.
Not so good today… still woke up at 7:30, but went back to sleep until and past my 8 o’clock alarm. I think the problem is, I need eight hours of sleep… and I went to sleep at 12:30 last night. New plan: go to sleep at 11:30 each night!
For the past week, I’ve found that my eyes open just around 7:30 AM, at which point I usually go back to sleep until my 8-ish alarm, which takes half an hour to actually wake me up.
Today though, today I refused to fall back asleep, and was able to pull myself out of bed before my alarm! (but still a ways past 7:30). Maybe it was the extra sunshine? Either way, I want to make this a habit. Let’s see if I can.
The Lady Hooligan is in the process of gaining a lot of slim!
I want to be able to wake up when I’ve stopped sleeping, not when a boss wants me to…
6:59 today, woke and rose. 59 minutes later than I’d hoped for, but still enough time to accomplish all my morning activities, pack a lunch, and show up to fluids on time. I had gone to bed at 11:00.
I am not going to set the alarm and I will not worry about when I wake up, I will when I am ready!
Not exactly everyday, like I would like but one day at a time right?
The strange thing is that I usually can wake up about 5 minutes before whenever I need to wake up. When I was sailing we’d have watches (like shifts not rolex) that would rotate through the day. One watch you’d have 3 hours to sleep and have to be up at 7pm, then the next watch you have 6 hours to sleep and have to be up at noon… that kind of thing. Never had a problem with it.
Still, when I need to be up for something important, I chicken out and set my alarm anyhow.
