    Isn’t it amazing that a human can be conditioned to respond behaviorally to a stimulus that requires precision tracking of time and also this occurs while sleeping. ?

    I mean think about it.

    You wake up 5 min before the alarm goes off. Consistently.

    Your brain kept track of the time the whole time you were sleeping. And was able to wake you up at the right moment with a specific thought “turn off the alarm”.

    Honestly, conditioning theory is fascinating.
