If this turns out to be true, how will it affect swimmers who are known for their early morning workouts? Could it end up being counter-productive?
I thought I read somewhere that waking up naturally (without an alarm clock) is more heathy than the suddenness of the alarm.
I haven't used an alarm in years and like you, on the rare ocassions that I do set one, I'll wake up before it goes off. I also swim (most days) at 6:00 am. I usually wake up around 5:00. The only time this program gets messed up is when the time changes to daylight time in the spring. It will take a week or so before I get re-adjusted and start waking up on time again.
