How can I be pretty inaccurate telling what time it is without a clock, but I frequently wake up just a couple minutes before my alarm?

If I was randomly asked what time it is, I wouldn’t be very accurate without looking at a clock. Likewise, if I was asked to guess when the clock hits exactly 8pm, I would be pretty far off. Yet I very frequently wake 2-3 minutes before my alarm goes off. How can my passed out brain be such an accurate time keeper?

Maybe we all have confirmation bias. Where we just woke up randomly just before the alarm some times and we forget all the other times we randomly woke up at some random time.
