I actually drink a cup of water before retiring to bed Mr Smith.
DR Berg on youtube recommends that most heart attacks occur in the early hours because of dehydration, and a small glass of water will prevent one. It doesn’t seem to make any difference to the frequency of passing water during the night.

A crazy dream from Spitty’s past usually wakes him, then just ignoring does the trick.

I’m not sure how but I always wake and listen for the alarm to go off…its like I don’t trust it to do its job so my body clock wakes me up to check it out

Yes, I am always awake well before the alarm is due to sound.
Rare occasion when I am awoken by the shrill sound 
Sometimes I am bought round by becoming aware that I have passed wind in my sleep, my Wife is annoyed about getting a rude awakening!!!
Not usually when working, unless an exceptionally early start. Now at 80+ it’s my bladder that wakes me at 5 and after that I stay up and start my day down in my music workshop for an hour.

Even when I am not working I usually wake before the alarm would have gone off. I turn it off on my no work days.
I am in bed early most nights. 8pm is late.

I’m usually awake and up around 5.30 regardless.
Depending on the time of year I’m roused by the dawn cacophony, the crows , magpies and the honking of the Canada geese on the local pond.
No cockcrow round here.

Best time of the day.
I love birdsong, watching the sun rise. Experiencing the early morning fog on the river in the winter time.

Indeed!
We’ll often take a container of wild bird mix and feed them.
That’s very probably why they wake me up

I’m more semi-urban Foxy… halfway between London and the coast, best of both worlds I suppose.

I had to rely on alarm clocks. Yes, I had two placed in strategic spots which provided the need to get out of bed to put off.
After retiring early for bad health, I had the bestest alarm clock, my wee daughter, then the following year my big son.
I had a purpose in life after working outside in an office. Since I’m semi-retired now, I manage in average 6 hours night sleep. I naturally wake up, sometimes my wee kitten wakes me up.
Unless, I’ve somewhere to be early, then I out the clock on, otherwise I let nature take its course.
Strangely enough few hotels don’t have alarm clocks, but wake up calls, I usually ignore those

my last job down the pit meant i had to be down by 5.30 in the a.m. we called that shift Daze.
but previously i had been on Afters regular which meant going down at noon… a wonderful shift that needed no alarm… now i have 8.00 on my phone in case i’m not awake…and i have been known to turn it off and turn over, but its usually gone midnight when i go to bed…
