I usually wake up around 6ish and then go back to sleep, then around 7ish I see the sun is coming up but I’m still exhausted. Then I do the 30 minutes of snooze.
Yes, but for me it is the rooster that crows at 5 am 😩
Good internal clock. 4 AM...all year round.
Used to. I switched to a “sunrise” alarm clock. They’re a little expensive but oh so worth it. So half an hour before you’ve set your alarm it starts to light up, very dimly, increasing to all the way on right before your set time, mimicking a sunrise. Then it’ll start playing noises, I have it set to chirping birds. 99% of the time I wake up before the birds. Very gentle way to wake up. And then I generally stay there and wait for the “sun” to finish rising.
Retired in 2008. No Alarm. Still get up at 6:00. I don’t mind. Sleeping much later than that makes me believe I’m wasting time when i could be doing something.
My ‘alarm clock’ is a 25 lb miniature corgi who wakes me up with kisses!!!!!

I’m retired and wake up pretty much whenever the heck I want ;-)
Also, sleep in a dark room - light blocking curtains, cover all the annoying LEDs, remove the “night lights” ...
Years ago, I had a clock radio set to a morning talk radio station here in the DC outskirts. There would be a barely perceivable ‘click’ before the radio came on at the time I had set. That little ‘click’ would wake me up. I have no idea how I heard it.
I hope you have him for a long time to go.
I get alarm clock fatigue after too many burbons the night before.

Lol
Yep, that’ll do it.
You could have sleep apnea.
Nope. BTW, this morning I woke up having slept about the same amount of time as the night before. However, today I feel completely rested and refreshed because I woke up NATURALLY sans alarm.
