It may not be related, but I think it's like being on a schedule. After a while you start getting up a few seconds or minutes before the alarm clock goes off. I know It's happened to me several times when I changed a work schedule. Not more than a week or two and I didn't need the alarm clock to awaken. And it didn't seem to matter if I had 8 hrs sleep or 4 the night before. Inevitably I would wake up within a minute or two of the alarm setting. Even now that I have been out of work for 10 of 15 weeks and don't have an absolute need to, I wake up at 6:25 AM. every morning. Maybe I am getting AZ and nature is setting my body clocks so my caretakers will know where I am at any time. :)

That reminds me a conversation my dad once had with a much younger friend he ran into on the street. The friend was bragging how he got up every morning at 6:30 and immediately started his busy day. My dad replied that he got up every morning at 5:00 AM. "But why?" asked his friend. "You don't even open your shop until 9:00. Dad told him, "I take a leak and go back to bed." :)
