I don't use an alarm clock either, and initially indeed had the problem of irregular schedule. Then I discovered one thing : it's not about when you wake up, it's about when you go to sleep.
If I force myself to go to sleep at midnight, I'm up at eight, no matter what (well, except in sleep disrupting circumstances, like drinking alcohol, no matter how few - I don't do that in the middle of the week anymore).
I think the need for alarm clock is actually a symptom that we live in a culture of sleep deprivation.
- icebraining 6y agoI'm the same, yet one has to be careful about extrapolating from personal experience. Lots of people here recommend exercising before work, yet for me it leaves me tired and in a bad mood, and kills my productivity. I know people who have quite irregular "natural" sleeping periods, and furthermore when they sleep 10-12hrs, they feel ill the whole day. They use the alarm clock to ensure a more regular period, and feel better for it.
- vicheiJ2 6y agoYes, you're right : my "culture of sleep deprivation" comment, even if it would happen to be true, is based on no significant evidence, sorry about that.
