1. I voted internal clock...
Unless I got seriously trashed the night before, or went to bed extremely late (or, more likely, both), I always wake up between 8 a.m. and 8:15 a.m.

3. Internal clock
I work second shift so there's no need for me to get up that early in the morning.
If I do need to be up at a certain time though, I use my cell phone alarm clock.

4. Other: sometimes internal clock, sometimes music.
There were a few times the satanic garbagemen arrived before 5:00 in the morning. :grr:

7. Pretty much internal clock with a music kicker
Just in case. I get up at 3:20 every morning and 9 times out of 10, I'm awake about 5 minutes before the alarm goes off. It's extremely rare for me to need it. I've always been like that.

8. Still among the undead until the caffeine hits the bloodstream
And lately, that hasn't even been enough. Getting by on 3 hours of sleep a night (average) probably isn't helping.

I went for "music." Can't STAND that fucking beeping/buzzing alarm setting. Radio alarm for me, thanks.

13. Funny you bring this up
My wife was justy yelling at me about my 'routine' that I have fallen into since being late for work about a year ago (I have since changed jobs and being a few minutes late is no longer a big deal anymore)

I set four alarms all in 10-15 minute successions, two next to my bed and two at different places across the room...the logic being that I can't turn off the alarm next to my bed in my sleep and go back to sleep anymore.

I have to cut it out though, she is getting ready to kill me. She says it sounds like a fucking casino in our room every morning with all the bells and beeps going off! :rofl:
