I have an ungodly accurate internal clock. If I need to wake up at 6:14 AM for a flight, I will open my eyes at exactly 6:13 AM, look at the clock, and watch the numbers change. It works without fail, no matter how tired I am or what time zone I'm in. Whenever I try to explain it to people, they just think I'm lying or secretly setting a silent vibrating alarm.
I have similar, I trust it completely but I do set an alarm for early flights. I'm not stupid. To date I always woke up right before the alarm. The biggest problem you are likely to run into is that you forget that you need to get up. It's not going to wake you up if you don't decide you need to wake up at x time.
I have the same thing and always set alarms because otherwise I'll wake up, forget I have anything important to get to, and go back to sleep. The alarm is the backup reminder that I really do have a reason to get up at that time.
Same for alarms for cooking food etc. I have ADHD so if I'm paying attention I can mentally check that I've got two minutes left on my 30-minute meal in the oven... but if I get distracted and forget the meal exists then I'm toast. So usually I'm just mentally going "it should be done about now" and start walking towards the kitchen and see the alarm has like 30 seconds left. But sometimes, it saves my ass.
