The starvation study I remember said _don't_ eat 16 hours before you wake up, and then eat well. Then the body will remember the time you got food, and make sure you're awake for it. Also, this is the least useful comment by pg i've seen in a long while. It's not even funny if you happen to be a late sleeper.

The description by niels_olson is thorough and in large part amounts to "how to get to sleep earlier". The pg comment simple cuts to the point and says "get to sleep earlier" without the medical explanations of "how and why". The are both very useful and correct answers to the OP. I don't think it needs to be funny. Its simply correct. Most of us have far too much to do every day and end up working too late. If you want to wake up earlier, you have to stop doing that. I'll leave with this one (also not meant to be funny): "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

  I wouldn't have written my comment if pg hadn't written his.

  If you are a late sleeper, you've gone through a long time, usually many years, trying to do exactly that. Knowing you need to go to sleep earlier is trivial.. scraping all those pieces of information and making countless adjustments to your schedule in order to actually do it is not. Somewhat off topic, you realize it's a real disservice to pg to upvote and defend any comment he makes indiscriminately? Or even with less discretion then normal.

This is maybe related to the study which shows you can reprogram your biological clock by not eating? http://www.livescience.com/health/080522-food-clock.html http://www.livescience.com/health/080522-food-clock.html

  Yes, this is it.

I thought the comment was funny because I interpreted the OP not as really wanting to know how to get up earlier but rather how to sleep less (otherwise why the comment about sleeping your life away).
