I had an issue with my phone where none of my alarm apps would
work. I found the issue today but it made me think of how
people use them.
Are you an alarm person at all? Do you hit the snooze?
I am a snoozer. I set it for 8 minutes. Sometimes I need two
but occasionally I will need a third. I find 8 minutes is good
because I can't fall back to sleep.
Currently my alarm is the song True by Spandau Ballet. It's a
nice way to enter the world of the living.

Alarm person. I don't hit the snooze, because my wife has
retired and doesn't have to get up-- so I shut off the alarm and
get up.

You freaks who can get up early without an alarm clock scare me!

Three things:
1. Morning person
2. Sufficient sleep, which means an early bedtime
3. Body clock. Once you get up at 5AM a couple hundred times,
it tends to stick. Even on weekends, alas.

I got up at 5:30 for decades - working, kids, dog, wanted to get
a run in and have coffee in a quiet house.
I've been retired for a few years. I have sleep issues and some
pain issues which can affect my sleep - but I'm almost always
awake before 5:30, even if I have a period of awakeness around
2:30 as well.
I don't really mind, I still like getting up, letting my dog
out, making coffee in a quiet house. Mr. Rufus gets up a couple
of hours later. But he always could sleep in on the weekends
when we were both still working. I never could.

In high school and college, I regularly slept through things
like fire alarms. Then, somehow, the moment I achieved
professional employment I couldn't sleep and/or was up hours
before my alarm ::)

I scare myself.
Clock radio by my bed, which works but I only set if I need to
get up early to catch a flight.
I wake up by myself about 6:30 or 7:00 depending when the dawn
light hits my window.

What's a bit freaky is that no matter what time my alarm is set
for, I invariably am up about 1-2 minutes beforehand. And my
rise times vary wildly! I guess I don't want to miss anything?
I think that we all have an internal clock, and we "know' what
time it is throughout the night. When it's time to get up,
often we sense it.

No snooze alarms here; once the alarm goes off, I'm up (if a bit
reluctantly). Everyone in my house currently has to get up at
5:30 for work/school - 2 out of 3 of us are NOT morning people
(the third has learned to just stay quiet).

Being retired, I get up when I'm good and ready. Usually this
is between 10 and 11 am, but today it was 1:15 pm (oops).

I rarely set an alarm. I wake up around 4:00 unless I have
stayed up very late the night before or if I am sick. I don't
need or necessarily want to be up at 4:00, 6:00 was fine a few
years ago. But, that is just how it is now. I also fall asleep
earlier to compensate. I am a morning person anyway so this
doesn't bother me too much.

I use the old-timey clock radio that goes off at 5:40 playing
music from the gawd-awful local radio station, the only reliable
radio station. Most days I'm already awake. As has been
mentioned earlier, get up at 5:30 a few hundred times and it
becomes a habit. I actually had it set at 5:30 because a few
times it went off and the radio station was not coming in and
was playing white noise. White noise does not wake me up. I only
needed to be up at 6, but now I'm up at 5:30. If allowed to
sleep without any distractions (cats, hubby with the lights on)
I can usually sleep all the way to 6:30!
