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?

You can’t tell the time because you are the time. A ball doesn’t know where it’s going to be kicked but it always goes just about where it’s kicked.
