Test your internal clock by establishing a consistent wake-up time without using an alarm. Track your natural wake-up time for a week. Stay away from screens an hour before bed and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep. Over time, you'll notice if you naturally wake up around the intended time. If consistent discrepancies occur, consider adjusting your sleep schedule or improving sleep hygiene.
