I am one of those annoying people who doesn't need an alarm clock. If I decide to wake up at 4 o'clock a.m. in order to hit the road for a trip down to Carmel, my body obeys. I simply wake up and get out of bed.
It's pretty cool.
Last night I went to bed thinking that if I wasn't too tired, I should wake up at 5 o'clock. I needed to call New York about some business. Nothing urgent, so I thought my body would give me some wiggle room if I needed it.
Well, damn it, I needed it. At 5 a.m. a voice entered my head: "Janelle, wake up."
To which I responded, "Hey, you never had a voice before. Who are you? I'm going back to sleep."
"Janelle, wake up."
"*&%^!@ I'm going back to sleep. It's not urgent. I'm tired."
Finally, after 15 minutes of arguing with who-knows-who, I was too weirded out to stay in bed. Apparently my body has assumed a voice, and it's not mine.
Guess who's buying an alarm clock?

That's... kinda weird.
I wish I could get up when I wanted to. As it is, I arguing with the annoying buzzing for sometimes over an hour. My body just refuses to wake up until it's ready.
I don't need an alarm clock either and don't use one unless I have to get an early morning flight and stayed up late packing.
My internal alarm clock is very precise. Most mornings I awake at precisely 7 am.
Haven't heard any voices though. That is kinda weird.
Sleep Goblin: I wonder what's more weird, arguing with in-your-head voices or with an annoying alarm buzz?
Please say you think it's a draw.
Tonya: Oh, I give up. I'm weird.
Well, by argue, I meant I hit the snooze button. So I'm afraid I'll have to go with the voices being weirder.
Could I hire you to be a wake-up call service? It wouldn't matter whether you used the alarm clock or not.
Sleep Goblin: I think we're all in agreement on that one.
Oscar Madison: I'm happy with my day job, but I'll ask the voice if he's interested.
