There are circadian rhythm genes in c. elegans that take effect even when under artificial light. Also the skill for this is trainable.

At school we used to have a bell mark class ends and without a clock or a watch I could predictably tell when the bell would fire. One time I demonstrated this to a friend (both of us kicked out of class) by counting down from 10 on the second to when the bell rang while looking at a blank wall.

Strange. But nonetheless true.
