Why can you tell yourself in going to take a powernap for 30 minutes then actually wake in 30 minutes, tell yourself I need to wake at X o’clock, then wake at that time without an alarm?

You aren’t your brain. You are part of your brain.
Just because you lose consciousness, doesn’t mean your brain shuts off or you go brain dead.
Your subconscious and vital functions keep going while you’re asleep. People sleepwalk, talk, and toss and turn in their sleep. We dream, and sometimes act out our dreams if the paralyzing-while-asleep function doesn’t work just right.
I believe it’s not outside the realm of possibility that if you are worried about waking up, that your subconscious might peek at the clock every now and then, or remain aware of the outside world, in order to help you get up on time.
