How efficient is your body clock?

I am not usually get up in the night, but I have another experience. Because I am still a senior high student, I have to get up early in the morning. At first, I need alarm clock to wake me up. I set my clock at 6:30 but it's a little bit slower. So when the clock rang, it is 6:32. After a few years the clock was broken(that's about 3 years ago). Till now, I haven't buy a new one because I found myself don't need that anymore. Every morning, I will wake up at 6:32 without any alarm. Moreover, my body clock can even control the second. For 3 years, my wake up time is between 6:32:20~7:32:30. That sounds impossible, but it's totally true for now.

Our cat has a good measure of time she knows exactly when its' time to be fed, she is 19 years old bless her and yet she knows it's 4pm and time for feed. It's hard to imagine a world without clocks, we take clocks and time for granted, and yet without it we'd have to go back to basics, they coped before clocks, otherwise humans wouldn't still be around. I guess they had basic ways of finding the time, albeit not the precise time, sundials, the sun and how it sets, even monitoring animals behaviour, wild and tame.

Hi 41CR, I have such habit as well. I try to guess the time whenever I wake up in the middle of the night or wee hours. I can say it's almost accurate as what shown on the wall clock I will wake up a bit earlier as the time I have set in mind before going to bed. But sometimes it will fail therefore to prevent not to be late I usually will set alarm for the sake of safety. When hungry our stomach will remind us to entertain them by making the familiar nose Happy posting

Sometimes I know the time and sometimes I guess from the position of the sun. These days, a lot of the time when I check the time, I'm surprised. Either it's still quite early or else more time has elapsed than I thought.

I have been on Christams vacation the last 9 days. So my body clock is messed up! I have been sleeping weird hours. Taking naps. Spending to much time on the computer! Getting a few things done. Tomorrow I go back to work. It will take a few days but I will get back on my regular body clock and schedule!

it depends on how alert i want to be.ofcourse meal times my body system senses the hunger and i can place meal hours.when i need to go somewhere very early i can set my mind to wake up at a certain hour and my body will respond to that time but when i let go i will just sleep unconsciously.

As a general rule I have a fairly good impression of the time, although there are occasions that I would be totally wrong. I think that it is simply an inherent ability that some people are born with and others are not. I know several people who can easily wake up at a predetermined time and have no need for alarms of any kind, whereas I have to depend on my alarm or I would awake at very inconvenient times. It is quite surprising that the two factors are not related in some way and I would expect a person to have neither or both, whereas I have one and not the other.

I have no idea how much time I had slept before I wake up in the middle of the night. I think that people could tell either by how dark or light it was outside. And it depended where one was, either in the country or city. So if you could only depend in the stars you could figure that it was an hour dater midnight excuses you knew most of the animals were awake. But in the city, someone or several houses had their light on. I do know that I wake up a couple of hours after going to sleep, and I always wake up around four, bu aside from them, I do not have a good inside clock.

Toooo funny because I do the same thing! When I wake up I try and guess what time it is and I'm usually pretty darn close also. I have no idea how that happens but it does. I do remember when my children were little tykes and they would get sick. Their medicine would be one that had to be given maybe 3 times a day, which would mean every 8 hours and I would be very careful to do this exactly at those times. If the one dose would be needed at 3:00am in the morning I would wake up about 5 minutes before. It would amaze me that I could do this even though I had my alarm clock set for 3:00. I didn't even NEED the alarm clock..it just happened and I would wake up. So, yes, I do know what you mean, and I do think people can set their own alarm clocks in their heads if they chose to do so. That is, with normal sleep and no exhaustion involved.

I can guarantee that my body will wake me before I would like it to, but that's it. Before clocks, did people NEED to know what time it was? You get up and do whatever you need to do when it gets light, and you stop when it gets dark. If it weren't for the fact that I have to fit parts of my life to someone else's schedule (school!), that's how I'd like to live.

A pleasant day to you, With reference to your main topic, my body clock is not too efficient in identifying time. However, on the other hand, I can say that I need not to set the alarm whenever I need to wake up early the next day, as I can wake up without the alarm. Though sometimes, I still set it up just to make sure that I won't get late to my day's appointment.

My body clock is not efficient at all. If it wasn't for the bells ringing in the nearby church, I would be even worse at guessing the time. But even with the bells ringing,. sometimes I'm hours away from the correct answer. That's why I alwasuys have my cellphone beside me, either on the ground or on a bedside table when I'm not in my room, so I can immediately know what time it is.

When I was working my body was very efficient like I'm awake ahead of my time set for alarm. Even if I was staying later than my usual bed time. I think it depends on much your body is trained. I mean, if someone is having a regular schedule of waking up or sleeping then the body automatically recognize the activity it should be doing at that certain time.

the most effective you can do for that body clock matter is drinking lots f watefr before yu sleep and letting yourself pee on midnight then you cannot go back to sleep immediatey. that's what I do whenever I will go anywhere early

i think mine is pretty decent and efficient. its working really well and even if i do not have work it wakes me up pretty much the same time each day. :D

Sorry,ma'm,my body clock is always late.I have been a late sleeper for last more than ten years and so a late riser.I can't sleep before 3 am at night and can't get up in the morning before 9.30.Everyday I have to rush to my office.If I have to catch a train early in the morning,I ask my wife to awake me an hour before the scheduled time of the train so that I may get prepared for the journey.I don't know how to make my body clock efficient.
