That's really interesting. I'm also jealous because I've had terrible sleep problems to the point that your choice of craziness would look less crazy! :) I've found that if I go to sleep within the same 15 minute window every night then I will wake up some time within the 3 minutes up to my alarm going off, often just a few seconds before.

If I don't then my internal clock will immediately shift later and it's incredibly hard to follow the "old" pattern. I think I can get away with one late night every so often but never two. Right now I'm stable but it's very hard to convince the people around me that it's what I need, even though they've seen the effects of not doing it. I believe it's in the same realm as smoking or alcoholism, where if you have a problem then most people will say "why not stop drinking then?" as if that's some great insight. "Just go to sleep" isn't particularly helpful.

And then, of course, they'll fall asleep with no problem and complain if they feel crap after one bad night :/

Really glad to hear you're feeling good on it! I hope it stays that way.
