I get in bed so early that it's impossible to oversleep.
In fact, I'm often up before sunrise and can fit some 4~6 hours of work before breakfast.

My internal body clock works like a charm, but I use alarm to abide late situation, I don't want to go late anywhere, so I try to settle my work as my schedules.

I also wake up a bit before my alarm starts ringing, but then I turn around and close my eyes.

The days when my wife feels nice to me and starts cooking bacon and coffee... then I don't need any alarm. 
If not... see Sander Rossel's answer below

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Me and my missus cut the alarm very close to the departing time. 7:11 alarm, 7:30 we're in the car. We like to sleep every useful minute - it's a hbait that stayed with us since the horrible wakes at 5:15 AM.

But I usually wake up at the very first note of the alarm. Sometimes I wake up just a minute before the clock... but I can't rely on that.

But I still sleep through them... 
I'm a very fast sleeper, I've been known to sleep through vacuum cleaners, people coming in my room, and even fire alarms.
So three alarms that go off at 06:57, 07:00, and 07:05, with ten minute snoozes, but my day at the office often starts at 10:00
Don't tell me to go to bed earlier too, I'll just sleep longer

I work anywhere between 8 to 10 hours a day, on average - usually 9 hours. What is your average work day hours? just curious.

I work 8 hours on average. That's what I signed for, what I get paid for, so that's what I work*.
If I start at 9 (which happens) I'm home early, if I start at 10:30 (which is really my latest) I'm home a little later 
*Unless a deadline or issue requires me to stay longer of course.

Same problem.
I have 3 set on my phone.
And 2 alarm clocks, one next to me with the sound turned up to max (why the neighbors haven't complained yet I don't know) and one on the other end of the room, someone told me to do that so I'd have to get up to turn it off, the joke is on them, I just sleep through them all.
I wake up when I wake up, after 10 years I'v given up on trying to wake up at a set time.
The worst part of it is though, when I do have to wake up early (to catch a plane or go to some event I can't miss) I just don't sleep at all out of fear that I'll not wake up at all.

Been there, done that... Doesn't work for me either.

Somehow that's never a problem for me. Maybe I worry and sleep light in those circumstances.

I used to be the same. I slept through this: British Weather: Hurricane of 1987 - YouTube[^] and didn't even know it had happened until I tried to get to work the next day.

I usually sleep through storms too, although we've never had such a heavy storm 
At school camp my roommate went sleep walking. He woke up in the middle of the terrain in only his sleeping bag. The doors to the cabins only opened from the inside or with a key. He banged on the window so I'd let him in. Ultimately a teacher had to open the door for him because I didn't wake up. The next day he was so pissed at me for not letting him in. I was the only one of over 100 students who didn't know what happened

Gee, that brings back memories.
At school-camp in yr7 we all took off to sleep in the cabins the school owned out in the bush. I was lucky and got put in the cabin with all the other jokers and we had a fine old time. Come night 2 and we're woken up in the middle of the night by Tony, who's clutching at his throat and doing his best impression of Darth Vader as he repeatedly moaned Help Me, Help Me.
Bugger off mate, it's not funny - we're trying to sleep.
Funny thing was we couldn't see Tony the next morning, asking after him we learned he'd been evac'ed overnight since he'd been stung in the throat by a wasp. Everyone else seemed to know this already except for our cabin.  
Er.. ah.. Sorry Tone. Are you okay?

Double their intensity and I will still be able to have a "peaceful sleep".

... but it never gets to go off, except in winter.
When the sun is up, so am I - I set an alarm so that Herself is certain to get up on time: she doesn't like to get out of bed at the best of times!

Not if you refer to her as "herself", except possibly for the peace and quiet he gets by arising early.
