    I can do it by licking the end of my finger and drawing the number on my forehead just before sleep.

    Not normal at all. Never heard of anything like it. It's nothing you need checked out though. Take advantage of it.

    the human is the only earth animal with the hard wired concept of time that i have encountered thus far. So thats what im going to say when i get back home. what a shitty assignment. I only took this job because they said earth women still like to screw. Turns out earth women like things , and screw for things. I will be reporting that back as well.

  • If I need to wake up at a certain time I usually do before the alarm rings too. But sometimes I don't.

    I don't know if it's that unusual. I can do it, and I certainly don't think I have superpowers. I suspect most people also could, with a little practice.

    I learned to do it when I was in my early teens. As far as I can recall, the technique was to make a habit of checking the time often during the day, but the trick was to estimate the time before looking at a clock. This way, the time-keeping part of the brain got feedback on how it needed to adjust. After a while, you get a very strong instinctive feeling for the exact time.

    I recall that, after doing this for a while (a few days or weeks - not as long as months), I got pretty accurate. I remember thinking it was pretty amazing at the time, and still do. After all, this suggests that some part of the brain is constantly ticking away, day and night, keeping count of the passing seconds and adding them up to minutes and hours, which is pretty bizarre, really.

    As long as I'm not seriously sleep-deprived or ill, my internal alarm-clock function still works pretty accurately.

    Sounds cool. I don't think it's normal though.
