I have an uncanny sense of time.

I usually know what time it is without looking at a clock, and I’m almost always within 5 minutes of accuracy, to boot.

I can also set an internal “alarm” to wake me up whenever I wish.

For the past year or so, I’ve always woken up almost exactly an hour
before my actual, physical alarm clock blares its annoying beeps.

Yes, it’s a total pain in the ass. And for some reason, I cannot seem to find the “off” button to this internal alarm.

After waking up (unnecessarily) at 6:00am again this morning, I finally realized why.

I’m such a control freak that I force myself to wake up on my terms, not the alarm clock’s.
