Waking up before your alarm and Presentiment

[ApotheosisMMC.]

It happens to me quite a bit. I wake up for about 20-30 minutes when I'm most tired and about 30-60 minutes when I'm not. I guess I don't like how loud my alarm clock rings.
As others have said, it's more surprising to wake up earlier when you have a commitment that you're determined you can't miss no matter how tired you are. I remember forgetting to set my alarm about three times, even though I went to bed late, and I've woken up half an hour earlier. Only once did my boss have to wake me up with a phone call.
I also remember an episode where it was more "scary" and I woke up more than once before it was the right time.

Wim Hof mastered the art to some degree.

That study was an immense milestone in showing how breathing techniques and cold exposure influence human physiology, including the immune system, but we're talking about something qualitatively different here. In the study the participants achieved their immune system dampening effect through Wim Hoff's breathing techniques. That's very different from just using conscious intent, the way you can intend to get up at a certain time.

The control group also did no previous training related to meditation, cold exposure, or breathing techniques. Based on the study itself it wasn't at all clear whether the participants were being asked to consciously lower their inflammatory response, etc. So it's a bit apples-to-oranges, and doesn't quite let us rule-in the power of conscious intent.

Q: (L) I would like to know if there is anything T G could do to enhance his recovery from cancer?

A: PMA. Positive Mental Attitude.

Q: (L) The illusion is that there is no link between consciousness and matter.

A: Yes.

...

Q: (L) So, you are saying that it is not that there is a link, the illusion is that there is separation. There is no difference, they are the same?

A: Yes.

What I was getting at is if those things applied (breathing, cold, meditation) with conscious intent could increase or amplify the body/mind capacity to achieve the intended outcome.

I woke up 5 minutes before my alarm this morning . In typical fashion, I then had a super quick 5-min nap and then jumped out of bed when the alarm finally went off.

I never use an alarm because I hate the sound of it. This bib bib is unbearable. So before falling asleep I imagine a big clock and the time I want to wake up and it works. The body after all is a magnificent machine, an excellent computer.
