I have tried a similar sleep test with powernapping and it always is so close to the time you ask your self to wake up at.. :) It’s amazing how the mind can do the same as a alarm..

I literally go off to my executive job (which i do love) daily without a care in the world. for me this complete relaxation in the AM works beautifully. I practice yoga daily and cannot imagine my life without it and it's benefits. Yoga plays a huge role in the "taking care of/ connecting with self" sphere. Yoga along with delicious home cooked and slowly enjoyed dinners is my evenign relaxation I suppose. my natural/ideal sleep-time 10:30 - wake time 5:30. i also love your correlation of your ability to wake up as you wish to your how right you are with yourself and the world." I'd never thought of it in this context before. it makes excellent sense. ciao AJ Clay -

Also, Because of the influence of Steve Pavlina's blogs and "the sectet", these days, i am leaning towards the idea of "Intention Manifestation". So, last night, before i went to sleep by 12 (i usually need 6 - 7 hours of sleep).. and just thought (for a brief period of time) of waking up by 6.15 AM next morning and set the alarm clock too and went to sleep. Next morning - i woke up by 6.13 AM happily. I didnt find myself being happy(i was actually smiling) while waking up for a long time and today morning i did!. I am not saying that there is a link between automatic-body-alarm and waking up happy. But, i observed that too along with how awesome this worked. I wasnt trying to exactly experiment the automatic-body-alarm thing last nignt.. Though i just put out the intention (as i was reading your blog just before sleep).. I am interested and am going to experiment this tonight also.. Clay,
