Psychology says people who set an alarm but always wake up five minutes before it goes off aren't light sleepers - they're people whose body never fully trusts that anything external will show up when it's supposed to, so their nervous system runs its own backup system just in case, and that five-minute head start on the day isn't a habit, it's a person who learned very early that depending on something outside yourself to wake you up is a risk their body isn't willing to take - Silicon Canals

The body wakes up before alarms due to a lack of trust in external cues, reflecting deeper psychological patterns of self-reliance.
