I used to set my alarm clock ahead as well, but I found I still laid in bed for far too long after hitting the snooze button so much. And when I finally did drag my arse out of bed, I was really tired and dopey.
A couple of years ago, the power went out at night and turned off my alarm. When I woke up - pretty much the time I should have - I found that I jumped out of bed and actually felt refreshed! I spent the next month or so developing my internal alarm clock, and now I can get up when I want and feel fully refreshed (95% of the time, anyway). I would suggest that to anyone!
I read an article on this a while ago, and it suggested that if you let yourself wake up when you are supposed to (using your internal body clock) then your body adjusts itself so it is fully awake when it's time to be. Circulation, brain, heart... All slowly start waking so you are ready to go when it's time to be. If you use artificial means, it takes most people time to get fully awake because you are essentially starting right from scratch.
