That's me every day. Sleep like a baby every night.

As a bonus, I have a bizarre talent of being able to wake up exactly when I need to. I always wake up before my alarm, even when I set it for earlier than usual.

    Sometimes you really do just have narcolepsy or another incurable "your sleep is fucked" disorder though. So don't feel like it's a personal failing if every doctor you speak to shrugs and tells you to just deal with it

    Also maybe try a sleep doctor. It's quite literally their specialty

    Yeah of course. But personally, most of my conditions and problems ended up being "well we don't have any treatment, so good luck with that" 😂. For a long time I thought it was my fault; I wasn't trying hard enough and just one more second opinion or doctor would surely help. But sometimes life just sucks and it's not your fault. The problem is simply too complex to easily fix. Obviously you should get it checked at least once, though.

    I had that for one summer. Consistently waking 10 minutes before my alarm. So consistently that I stopped bothering to even set an alarm.

    It was great, right up until the clocks went back and I was left waking up over an hour before I needed to.

    Weirdly, the only way I found to break the cycle was to start setting an alarm.
