We all know someone who claims to have a natural alarm clock that wakes them up exactly when they need to. \u201cI don\u2019t need an alarm; I am an alarm,\u201d they\u2019d say casually, before you proceed to shut them down with research on how that\u2019s not possible. If you actually look into it, though, you\u2019d realize that they aren\u2019t kidding.<\/p>\n

The natural body alarm clock is quite real and is as good\u2014if not better\u2014than any alarm money can buy.Provided that you have a regular sleeping schedule you stick to, as most of us who have jobs do, the inbuilt alarm clock of the body is quite effective at waking you up before the stipulated time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As per research, it works due to stress hormones released by the brain a few hours before your wake-up time.[2] They allow you to gradually wake up without being abruptly interrupted by the real alarm clock, indicating that the brain subconsciously hates alarms as much as us.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to do anything special to activate it other than sticking to a set schedule, either. This is why routine officegoers often find themselves waking up minutes before the alarm is set to go off.<\/p>\n
