If something important is happening tomorrow and I know that I need to get up early, I tell myself that I need to get up early and generally I end up waking up before my alarm, why is that?

Question

I don’t know if this is a relatable thing or not, just something I’ve noticed happen to me.

I think it has something to do with your body wanting to wake up by itself, not by an alarm, so it uses its “inner alarm” to wake you up before the alarm. Since it is important, the whole body is extra exited, and this effect is greater. This happens to me all the time, and I am fairly certain that this is the reason. I hope this answered the question, and again, I am not 100% certain, but I read it once upon a time, and it makes sense.
