I also experience the phenomenon of waking up a minute before an alarm goes off-what's that about?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223370 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:35:43 +0000 mrbee 1223370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: haha that sounds familiar now that you mention it!! We're trying life without tv lately, so haven't seen Seinfeld in a long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223367 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:34:55 +0000 pui 1223367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't really set one on a day to day basis, but I tend to wake up right before my alarm goes off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223358 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:31:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1223358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can when I have enough sleep over a period of time, but when I've been sleep deprived, all bets are off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223354 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:30:22 +0000 Mae 1223354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Yep! The one where Elaine has the olympic runner staying with her to run the NYC marathon. He was famous because he had missed the Olympic race because he overslept. So she was in charge with getting him to the race on time. But something happened (I think her power went out or something?) and so he went to Jerry's, and then somehow Jerry's alarm didn't work, but Kramer was supposed to be the back up because he has a "mental alarm" that he can set for any time. He didn't wake up either though and was like "Hmm… I must have hit the snooze." :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223346 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:26:52 +0000 mrbee 1223346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Haven't watched Seinfeld in forever! Was this an episode? I thought I had seen them all!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223341 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:25:14 +0000 Mae 1223341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You've been watching too much seinfeld :) </p> <p>No way can I do this. I never have any sense of what time it is. Which is super apparent now that I'm pregnant and waking up multiple times/night. Sometimes I think it must be 6am and it's only 12:30. Other times I think it's 1am and it turns out it is 7! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223326 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:20:14 +0000 QueensBee 1223326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Ditto! I would never be able to relax enough to fall asleep... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223321 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:18:14 +0000 Alivoo01 1223321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm like you, I get worried and end up waking up frequently to check the clock. I just set my alarm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223149 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:58:42 +0000 nana87 1223149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! if I need to wake up extra early for a flight or an appointment or something, I will usually wake up several times before my alarm, but that's more out of anxiety/fear that my alarm won't go off than any internal clock </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223141 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:55:34 +0000 Ash 1223141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I had a boss that could do this... which is crazy because she'd always be at work by 430. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223126 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:48:31 +0000 Running Elley 1223126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! It just makes me anxious and then I can't sleep anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223124 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:47:58 +0000 hellobeeboston 1223124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I can definitely do this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223120 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:46:01 +0000 mrs. 64 1223120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but my cat is terrific at getting up at 4:30 every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223098 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:20:32 +0000 Dandelion 1223098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My DH can though. He always wakes up a few minutes before the alarm goes off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223088 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 06:59:53 +0000 looch 1223088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More or less, I can. My internal clock is set to wake up at 5:15, though, so most days, regardless of weekday or weekend, my eyes open! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223084 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 06:52:44 +0000 Katrocap 1223084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! My mom claims she can, so maybe I'll inherit her skills after I'm more experienced as a mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-set-a-mental-alarm-and-wake-up-at-that-time#post-1223068 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 06:24:57 +0000 mrbee 1223068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to think that I could do this. But whenever I told myself I had to wake up by a certain time, then I just woke up every few hours in a mild panic and desperately checked the time. So now I either set an actual alarm, or depend on the kids to wake me up ha.</p> <p>Can you set a mental alarm and wake up at that time? </p>
