Internal Clocks are Crazy!

I had an interesting incident with my internal clock today, but first a little background info. Im a university student, and because of my schedule i am allowed to go to bed around 2-3 am, and wake up around 11-12 am. So today i had a 40% midterm in one of my classes. I set my alarm for 6:45 am so i could get up early and review. I go to bed and, roll over in the morning and see my clock reads 8:00 am. My alarm on my phone had frozen, yet i still was awake in time to write my exam. Any other day i would still be in the middle of a deep sleep, but thanks to my internal clock it knew something was wrong and woke me up in time. I haven't googled the scientific reasons behind this, but i have encountered this countless times, and just wanted express how happy i was that we have this ability.

Haha the exact same thing happened to me about a week ago. Went to bed too late, had my exam at 10:15 AM. I set my alarm for 8am, woke up, turned it off and stayed in my bed too long, and fell asleep again. I woke up, and I thought to myself " Ok I'm fvcked...". Glanced at the alarm, 9am, when I was expecting 1pm. Pretty amazing stuff.

Wtf that's just luck....waking up 1-2 hours after you hit the snooze button isn't an internal clock...

Get a dog,then you know what an internal clock is. Everday day at 6:15-6:30 they wake me up to let them out to pee. Doesn't matter what the weather looks like,how bright it is outside or the time of year.

I normally set my alarm at around 6 am when I have to work, and I always manage to wake up literally 2-3 seconds before it goes off. Freaky sh1t.
