How much sleep did you get that night? Every so often if I get less than four hours of sleep, I'll find my alarm clock "mysteriously turns itself off".

I think the biggest question is why you set your alarm for 5:18.

omg I do this too!!! But for me it only works when I take naps.
Before going to sleep i HAVE to look at the clock/time (or it wont work) and then repeat over and over the time I want to wake up in my head, then I go to sleep. It really is freaky how I can be my own alarm clock!! Cant explain it.. it just happens..

Same thing here...
Human beings have their own natural alarm clocks which can be set subconsciously just by anticipating the time we want to wake up. Research conducted by scientists at the University of Lubeck in Germany has found that people release hormones before waking which help them to anticipate the "stress" of getting up at different hours.
...
When the volunteers knew they had to get up early, their levels of the ACTH hormone increased substantially in the last hour before waking, compared with when they did not know they were being woken at 6am.Writing in Nature magazine, the researchers concluded that the increase in hormones indicates that anticipation, which is widely thought to be a characteristic unique to conscious action, also pervades sleep and may facilitate spontaneous waking.
