I seem to wake up INCREDIBLY early, and then go back to sleep almost straight away.
back when school was in and i had to wake up at x time, my internal clock would make me up right around that time, now that its summertime its just gone all crazy to where ive gotten 5 hours of sleep to 11+ hours of sleep.
[QUOTE=Glock Samson;30797638]It makes sense, and I believe it. But 35 is real. And it wants my blood.[/QUOTE] 35 is only real because you think it's real! There is no such thing as 35. Anywhere. There isn't 35 of anything in the entire world and it sure doesn't want your blood. By posting this I'm probably only going to make you notice the number 35 more. But 35 is not real, I swear. You should stop thinking about the number 35, just like you should Stop thinking about elephants, right now. It'll totally work. Just don't look at the clock. It is 35 right now? You'll never know if you don't look. You'd better look. Stop looking! Maybe just one more time, to make sure it isn't 35. But if it is 35, be sure to cover up your jugulars. That's where 35 tends to aim. But it's not real! I swear.
[QUOTE=NO ONE;30792401]I've heard that the dreams almost always remembered are the ones we have 30 seconds after we go to sleep and 30 seconds before we wake up.[/QUOTE] I had a dream once that my brother would back up mum's car and crash it, three months on and it happened. He backed it up towards a wall and the back suspension kicked in when he hit a railway sleeper which was left on the yard and the bumper of the car got lodged on the wall :v:

There is no way to explain that except that either my internal clock is in perfect tune, or 35 is REAL REAL REAL. I know how irrational it is, but even if I tell myself that I feel the physical anxiety. I'm currently getting out of the habit with (as suggested) avoiding looking at the time, but still. Don't worry. I'll either get over it, or die in an extremely miserable state. Life goes on..
Mine is pretty good, I've noticed that I always notice right before the microwave is finished.
Just as I was browsing this thread I happened to look at the time in the bottom right corner. 12:12 :tinfoil:
A few days ago my friend asked me to guess the time, I said 3:50 (I think) and I was spot on.
I can guess the time within an accuracy of 5 minutes
I even have a good internal clock while stoned, trust me, it makes time slow the fuck down.
I thought it was 12 AM right now, checked the clock. 2:30 PM. Though when I have something to do at like 11 AM then for some reason I automatically wake up at 5 AM and feel great.
The past week I've been waking up at exactly 6:45 without my alarm when I try to sleep til 7 or 7:15, but the thing is I worked night shift for a long time so I should not be waking up before my alarm yet.
It's summer vacation and I don't have a job. My internal clock is running about as reliably as a new American car.

Mine is alright, but holy fuck my dog knows exactly when its 6 o'clock (dinner time for her) and I have no idea how she can do that, I mean everyday when its 6, she gets up and goes to her bowl.
My internal clock doesn't give a shit, ever.
I have no concept of time.
I used to have a thing where I'd look at the clock and it would be 13:37. Sometimes when I set an alarm I would wake up 5 minutes before it would go off.

Mines great. I wake up everyday at 6:59 without a alarm.
I never bring a watch or devices with clocks with me when i go somewhere. I never come late either.

I wake up exactly 1 minute before my alarm rings. It sucks though, just when I hope I'll get more sleep I look at the time and...

[QUOTE=fishyfish777;30791602]It must be just you because I just looked at the clock and it said 10:14[/QUOTE] I read this post and then looked at my clock and it said 10:14. I'm scared now. Also, I always seem to wake up at 8:00 if there wasn't some sort of other interference causing me to wake up. And just yesterday I exited out of a full screen game thinking it was probably right around 11:00 and sure enough, it was.
i love how this thread has done nothing but make people more scarefully aware of creepy clock watching habits =)
I swear always I'm waiting for an hour to pass, I just do stuff and when I look on the clock there's [B]always[/B] 20 minutes left. [editline]30th June 2011[/editline] It also remembered me of a funny situation. I get down to my bed, and see its 8 am. I close my eyes, turn around few times, look at the clock again and its 7 am. I just fell asleep after a long night, that's why I got to bed at 8 in the first place, but Imagine the first reaction. "OH SHIT OH SHIT I'M GOING BACK IN TIME"
mine works even when i don't realize, i got my days mixed up, and went to bed one night thinking i didnt have work the next day... i woke up extra early the next morning, and to my surprise i couldnt get back to sleep. so i got up and turned my radio on, expecting my favorite morning show (which plays on weekdays). but it wasn't on, because it was a SUNDAY. and i had to work on that sunday. i think my subconscious remembered that i worked on sunday (from when i looked at my schedule) and woke me up
My clock says 4:04 right now ~:v:~
