Do you live on the equator?

  Doesn't really matter. The progression of the seasons is slow enough that I can get used to the apparent movement of the morning sun and always know more of less if it's about 6am, 7am, 8am, or 9am. Don't really use alarms. It's great, until the time changes (DST) and throws my sleep schedule completely off the window ugh.

    The location kind of does - living further up north (Canada) in winter, 6, 7, and 8 can all look the same - dark.

      Or light. One of the most striking parts about driving to northern Canada (well, central BC) in the summer a few years ago was how bright it was at night. I was driving through the night, and for the longest time I was trying to figure out what that light in the sky ahead was. I was sure there must be a big city ahead or something (there wasn't), because I had no idea you could still see light in the sky at midnight.

I used to have anxiety about getting enough sleep at night. I found that eliminating clocks from my surroundings really helped me get over that. Something about measuring yourself against the clock can really mess with your mind. These days I don't have that problem anymore, but it's a thing I've repeatedly told my wife when she has trouble sleeping. Don't look at the clock.
