Thread: Brain Clock

Do you think it's possible that the brain knows what time it is without a clock? Two nights ago, I set an alarm to 3:50 to try and lucid. I had never set that time before, by the way. For the next two nights, I woke up at around 3:45. Also, just last night, I remember thinking about my alarm clock right before it woke me up.

Humans have biological clocks(just as most animals) which are based on 24 hour cycles of hormones and alertness. If you wish to know more, look up:
A) Hypothalmus
B) Suprachiasmatic Nucleus

Definitely; this is a well-known phenomenon. I almost always wake up right before my alarm goes off.

you have a brain clock even when your awake, i used o skip p.e. in high school and i would always know exactly when it ended without knowing what time it is

The body is much cleverer than most people realise.

Apparently not.





Thanks for the info everybody. But to add on to that, would it be possible to send that info to your conscious mind? For example, know what time it is (almost exactly) without being near a clock or have been near a clock for a while.
