Do i start my day with an alarm or let myself wake up normally ?

[John Iverson]

I am thinking,  if I am going to start my day with an alarm and set it to a specific time like okay I'll start to wake up at 7, then do that. Or should I normally wake up and start my day and do the necessary things in my schedule?

Some people have natural internal clocks like my mom who can magically wake up whenever she wants/has to with no alarm. Meanwhile someone like me would literally miss work or appointments every day without alarm technology. My natural body cycle (if left unregulated) is to be awake 18-20 hours and sleep 8-10 hours. Which of course pushes my waking time ahead a few hours each day, so can't wake up "naturally" at a certain time.

So the point is...... do some rigorous experimenting! Find out what your body does on it's own and make a plan around that.

of course, you can do it with alarm but it's much better to wake up naturally by your own mental facility rather than something interrupting your sleep cycle. you can clear up your mind from thinking chains and intend to wake up at a certain time before sleeping and it works wonders if you do the work correctly!
