How do you manage a habit of this? How do you manage to do it intentionally at all? It seems to me that the entire purpose of a morning alarm clock is to counteract the fact that we pretty much can't control when we wake up.
I loathe alarms, but I still need one for working days, or I would be two hours late every day.
If you can't wake up in time without an alarm, you're probably sleeping too little. I need the alarm about 1/10 of the time, so it's still useful to have it set.
If you want to hate alarms less, use one that starts gradually. You'll learn to wake up even to the slightest of sounds.
(The problem with that is that sometimes you might wake up to sounds other than the alarm.)
Could be a real problem, but this didn't happen to me. My brain recognizes only the specific alarm sound as important. Just make sure you don't use a sound that resembles anything else in the environment.
Yes, when that happened to me I was using a record of birds singing or something like that as the alarm.
