i personally do not use an alarm clock coz subconciously, i do not want to rely on a alarm clocks for i would much prefer to use my body clock so wherever ill go, i can wake up whenever i want to. i just have to think about what time i should wake up then it happens, though soemtimes use my mobile phone's alarm clock as a back up if ever my body clock has no batteries (LOL)but when the process of setting the alarm time on my phone, i ALWAYS wake up 10 to 15 minutes before the set time :) pretty amazing huh? how about you?

I rely more on my body clock as it's always woken me up in plenty of time for what I needed to do that day. I don't really like alaarm clocks but will use them if I didn't get to sleep when I should have. When I was working for a few hotels, I would have to set the alarm as I never got enough sleep, they made us work a lot! Anyway, that's besides the point.

i always set my alarm clock. my body is used to waking up at same time everyday for work but there are days where i'm so tired that if i relied on my body i'd be very late to work. i actually always have my phone set in case my the power goes out and my regular alarm doesn't go off.

Me too, I would much rather wake up when my body feels it is time to get up. I'm very happy with my sleep schedule lately. However, I program my cell phone to wake me up by a certain time every day just in case!

I dont rely on alarm clock. I can still wake up at the right time even though i dont set the alarm. My hubby use the alarm clock though..he was having a hard time sleeping and he was use to it that he had an alarm clock to wake him up every morning.

I find it very interesting that you are able to wake up from your body clock. I always have to rely on my Alarm clock, and despite that, I occassionally do not even hear the alarm clock ringing. But yeah, I could never wake up without an alarm clock, I would always be late for work.

I do not need an alarm clock to wake up. I am active enough to wake up at any time I think before sleeping. Only if I have had sufficient sleep, then I can wake up at any time without the need of an alarm clock.
Still on Exam days or other such important days, I set alarms in two or three clocks as a backup, since who knows, I might not wake up and lose something.

I do use alarm clocks, but rarely actually works. I usually set the clock a bit too early, but if I really need to wake up at the time, then the clock works. I set my Radio and cell phone alarms on, which usually wakes me up, but I tend to go back to sleep .
In important days, I'll make sure I wake up with extra alarms.

I have to say i am jealous. I have tried that before and it has never worked for me, I have to use an alarm clock. I would rather be able to wake up on my own, than having to listen to the BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! of my alarm.

Not really becoz I am actually not a sound sleeper and I am myself an alarm.Tell me a time and I am awake and that is something I do and my husband sometimes makes fun of me saying that I dont need an alarm when u are an alarm time for me.But to be on safer side I always keep alarm in any case If my alarm never rings.lol.

Nope...thats what having a dog, kids and a wife are for. Between the three, you are certain never to sleep in past about 6:30 or 7. If I had my way, I would sleep in late everyday but as it is, I can't recall the last time I slept in...and we're talking at least months here...probably more like years.
It is what it is I guess.
I have an alarm clock. DOes that count?

I do use an alarm clock as a backup simply because I have had those mornings where I could easily shut off the alarm and keep on sleeping. Most mornings I wake up before my alarm even when I don't have to get up. Still, because of the times that I've slept beyond, I feel more comfortable with a back up.

I will like to use my body clock to wake but I can't. I will wake up late if I don't use alarm clock. I use alarm clock because I lazy to wake up. I like sleeping. I can sleep long hours without any problem. I sleep late at night, that way I can't wake up early morning.

I do rely on a clock on mornings when I have to get up for class, work, or something. It has happened that I woke up before my alarm went off, but most of the time, it is my alarm that wakes me up. However, I only really use during weekdays, and rarely weekends.

I do. In fact I use the mobile phone for that. Even with them I take about 30 minutes to get up. My latest plan is to keep two mobile phones with a time gap of 30 minutes and keep them away from my bed. Because of the sound I have to get down from the bed to switch off and by that time I can get up. Hope it will work.
