Why does it have to always hit me so randomly? Some nights I beg my brain to stay awake past 9 and then there's nights like this where I'm wide awake for no reason

I disagree. If you go to sleep early and at a regular time and maintain a regular routine, then you'll wake up at the same every day. Also, I didn't say to avoid alarms completely I said use them as a last resort, in case you don't naturally wake up in time.

As an example, I work 9-5 and wake up naturally anytime between 6:30 - 7:30 AM. My last resort alarm is set to 8:15AM, but I almost never enable it because I wake up well before that time. I only enable it incase my routine messed up for that day and I ended up sleeping late for whatever reason.

Okay, but what about people who have jobs where you really cannot tolerate a 1 hour wake up window? I hope you can realize you are in a privileged position to be able to have this kind of schedule and that this is really not possible for the vast majority of people.

As I said before, just sleep early if you want to wake up early. If you're unable to wake up early naturally, that means you're either sleep deprived and/or having poor quality sleep, or there are other factors affecting your sleep, as highlighted in my original comment and the parent comment.
