I think it is Wii Rod, not weirod.
My wife will sometimes say she’s setting a “mental alarm” when she’d like to get up at a certain time but it’s not actually critical to be awake then and she tends to wake up right around then. There are plenty of times she wakes up one minute before her real alarm, too.
Your wife's probably a witch bro. Tomorrow she'll say she regularly gets a good night's sleep. Witches man, I'm telling you.
See, I can do this, and often do. I wake up at 0730 naturally and it’s a great feeling when I wake up a couple of mins before the alarm. But I do set an alarm - because I’d never, ever bank on it.
Sod’s Law I’d sleep in when I need to catch a flight.
Does she sleep a consistent schedule & get enough sleep, or is she able to do this despite waking up after 5 hours of sleep at a time that's 4 hours earlier when working than on weekends?
I’ve done the e wake up <5 minutes before my alarm lots of times. The problem is then I go right back to sleep and snooze the alarm for the next 8-24 minutes and end up late.
I kinda have to figure out when i want to wake up before i go to bed, and then it's enough. I have never used an alarm in 20 years. I just know when i wanna be up and i wake up before it. Sue me.
Dyslexics of the world untie!
And just theiR bodies
I use an alarm, but 9/10 times I wake within 10 minutes before the alarm.
My body has started doing this and I hate it.
Just drink a ton of vodka. You’ll never have to worry about waking up before your alarm goes off.
My cats wake me up, does that count?
Talk about witchcraft!
That's totally normal. You should be afraid of the weirod people, too
I, for one, welcome the new rod people.
I usually get up by 5. If breakfast isn't out by 6, I will certainly know about it.
They are a useful backup to have.
Did your cats write the text on this meme?
I don't need an alarm.
I wake up every few hours regardless.
And I'm always awake about 20 minutes before my alarm, no matter that time I set it to.
Existence is pain
Set your alarm to 20 minutes after you want to wake up. Come on, that was easy.
I've legitimately tried that, even tried no alarm at all.
The no alarm is a bad idea just because every so often I just sleep right on through, if I've had a particularly harsh day.
I think my brain just goes "you sneaky fuck, I know you REALLY want to get up at 7 so we are getting up at 630ishjust to be sure."
I don't think there's a bigger bliss in this world than waking up randomly at night, looking over at the clock and realizing it's still early as fuck so you can go back to sleep 🤤
When I was a kid, I would set an alarm for like 2am, just for this. I was a dumb kid (now not a kid...)
I was also a dumb kid!
- wakes up in the middle of the night
- realises it's 4 am, need to wake up at 5am
- can't fall asleep for 45min ..
- no profit
There is, it's waking up early thinking you're late to work / school only to realize you've woken early and today is your day off
If I don't get up before 8:30am or so, my husky will softly grumble until I get up. The grumbles get progressively louder.

That’s basically everyone with a decent routine, no? I go to bed the same time, so I wake up the same time. The alarm is just for backup.
If anyone has trouble sleeping/waking with a set routine, there’s probably other factors at play like interrupted sleep cycles or sleep apnea.
Or stress or mental issues. Therapy can really help here.
I sure love going to bed at a reasonable time, so I don't need external devices to wake up :3
My cat has a more precise internal clock than humans could ever engineer.
Hint: it wakes up so punctually because it can hear the mice scratching in the walls, who are reacting to your boiler starting to heat the pipes at 7am sharp.
It really sucks when it doesn't work though. I used to wake up 5 minutes before my alarm like clockwork, and then ONE day I didn't set it. Well, guess what phone call I get that lovely morning.
Was it about your car warranty?
Even worse! It was about a car with a warranty that wasn't being worked on!
Alarm is set for 4:45am, which lets me get my teeth brushed and pre-workout downed before the gym two blocks from my house opens at 5. I'm up at 3:45-4:15am every morning. I go to bed at 8pm. Once every 1-2 months, I'll hear my alarm.
You must not work 8-5... I need my long nights to get revenge on how much of my day was spent working
And weirod your body, too!
I usually wake up around 5-10 mins prior to my alarm if I slept the right amount (around 6 hours). In the rare occassion I get woken up by my alarm I feel the rest of the day like shit (very tired, annoyed at evrything, very sensitive to light, need 10 coffees to survive).
Same. If I am in a good sleep routine, I consistently wake up about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off, especially in the spring and summer. In winter I am somewhat more likely to immediately fall back asleep because I don't hear the birds chirping.
6 hours ?? Don't we all need more than 11? Guess I'm abnormal, ha
i don't need any alarm because i have cats
Cats with baseball bats.
I have a baby. No need for an alarm, he has one built in 👍
People with rude cats
Bio alarm
I used to need a bunch of them, then I got old and started going to bed at 9 almost every night and now I wake up within five minutes of 7 o clock EVERY day.
Probably would have been that way all along if not for all the drugs and alcohol I guess
I used to always wake up like 1-5 minutes before my alarm. Since moving that has changed though and my internal clock is lacking nowadays.
A propos of nothing, I think this is one of the funniest images ever made. The pure horror of the small child, the utter confident terror of the elder, the random shingles, the unexpected wooden bucket, the crazy cute rabbit staring at the unexpected wooden bucket - just pure genius
Pretty sure those shingles are asbestos as well.
My bodies interal clock is spot on 99.9999% of the time. The one time it's wrong and im late for my own funeral
just drink a bottle of water if you have to wake up early. alarms are uncivilized
Yeah! And drink a bottle of whiskey if you have to wake up late and can't be bothered to cancel the multiple alarms in your off day.
hell yes brother/sister!
No, just arthritis.
I'm everything in this photo. I can wake up if I need to at 600, but I get paranoid that I won't so I set my alarm for 530. Then I get paranoid that I'll sleep through that alarm so I set one for 545, and finally another for 600. I don't trust snooze because I've accidentally turned off the alarm too many times while trying to hit snooze.
But most of the time I will wake up 5 minutes before each of the three alarms.
The trick is to figure out how long you sleep naturally and go to sleep that amount of time before you need to wake up. Doesn't work for insomniacs unfortunately.
If I focus on it the night before for like 5 min and visualise my morning, I can reliably get up with about 5 minutes of prep before my alarm goes off.
My life changed after getting a Lumie light about 8 years ago I think? I haven't woken up to a noise alarm since.
And there is me that need electrical shock to wake up , and sometime I bypass the pain
I am all of these depending on how depression/anxiety has been treating me lately
I legitimately thought I activated some sort of extrasensory perception when I learned my internal clock worked
