Innate sense of magnetic direction

Well that may be a problem when I'm walking around without equipment trying to reach the North Pole (which, magnetically is actually the South Pole btw), but just for navigation, I think I can manage just fine.

I have an internal alarm clock. I can set a time I want to wake up in my head, and I will wake up within 2-3 minutes of that time, every time. I have an alarm clock, but I don't think I have ever needed it.

Just like Kramer?

That almost means you aren't human BTW.... the natural biological clock for us humans is based on a 25 hour day.

There are other animals that have evolved to a 24 hour clock.... roaches for instance.

same here. i just tell myself " i want to wake up at this hour and this minute" and i do wake up within 1-3 minutes of that time.

Yeah...though normally only if i set an alarm..then i'll wake up 2-3 mins before the alarm goes off!!


And I can find north quite well, maybe not totally accurately, but not too bad

Well I don't know about always knowing where North is, but I do seem to have a better sense of direction than the average person I've meet. I've been in many situations where I'm at a town or place I've never been before and I don't know why but am able to navagiate as if I've been there before. I always remember directions very well also, once I've been somewhere I never forget it.
