DEPECHE MODE singer DAVE GAHAN wakes up every night at 4.15am - the exact time he ‘died’ from a drug overdose 13 years ago.
The Enjoy The Silence star, 46, was famed for his wild ways during the chart-toppers’ heyday.
But Gahan’s partying nearly cost him his life in 1996, when his heart stopped for two minutes following an overdose of heroin and cocaine.
Doctors were able to revive the star and his near-death experience forced him to reconsider his hedonistic lifestyle.
Gahan tells German newspaper Bild he still wakes up every night at the same time, seeing it as a gentle reminder of his good fortunes.
He says, "I look at my watch and know in advance what the time will be. I think somebody wants to remind me that I have a good life - and it’s not for me to decide when it ends.
"What I did in the past was a big mistake. I knew this instinctively when I neared death. Today I’m grateful I survived." Gahan has since recovered from his addictions, and now lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their two children in New York.

Actress JANUARY JONES regrets embarking on an ill-fated modelling career as a teenager - because the experience left her $20,000 (£14,000) in debt.
The 31-year-old Mad Men star became a model at the age of 18, leaving her home in South Dakota for a life in New York.
But Jones admits she was never happy in front of the camera - and is glad she decided to leave the catwalk behind to become an actress.
She says, "The modelling company screwed me over. By the time I left and headed to L.A. they told me I owed them $20,000. I never really took modelling seriously. I didn’t diet or lose weight. It wasn’t something I was passionate enough about to warrant altering my appearance for."

HULK HOGAN’s daughter BROOKE has come to her father’s defence after he was accused of likening his ongoing divorce battle to O.J. SIMPSON’s murder trial.
The former wrestler was forced to clarify comments he made in a new Rolling Stone magazine interview after causing a stir with his thoughts about the disgraced sports star.
Simpson, now in jail on an armed robbery conviction, was acquitted of killing his wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman in 1993, but, like many people, Hogan thinks the fallen sports hero got away with murder - and in the new article he admitted he can understand what drives a man to kill his wife after battling his ex Linda in the divorce courts.
But Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, is adamant her father’s words have been twisted by the press - insisting the star would never say anything so inflammatory.
She tells ETonline, "I cannot believe how blown out of proportion one small part of a seven-page article has become. It’s a classic case of a quote being taken out of context. I look up to my father in every way. He has been through so much and has taken the high road through it all. The idea that he would condone the O.J. situation is just outrageous."

ASHTON KUTCHER is celebrating after beating news giant CNN to one million Twitter.com followers - and now he plans to prank the network’s owner TED TURNER, and film it.
In the early hours of Friday (17Apr09), Kutcher claimed victory in the week-long Twitter battle with CNN after his social networking account swelled by over 150,000 members in just four days.
And the actor appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show in America on Friday to claim victory.
Calling him "the king of Twitter", Oprah linked up with the technology-loving star from his office in California.
Kutcher said, "In some ways this is kind of a commentary on the state of media. I believe we are at a place now with social media where one person’s voice can be as powerful as a news network - an entire media network.
"That is the power of the social web… Through your own stream (you) can have a voice that’s as loud as a media network." Kutcher admitted he loves the social networking medium - because it allows him to post items directly online without mediation from the media: "My life is somewhat on display anyway, and always not by choice… I can publish pictures and videos of myself that have already been pre-approved and that I’m happy with.
"And then on top of it you can really rally people around different causes… There are giant things that we can do through this platform." The actor explained he is using Twitter.com to highlight the issues of malaria in Africa, and raise awareness about the disease.
Celebrating his victory over CNN, Kutcher revealed he plans to "ding-dong-ditch" Ted Turner’s house while he’s in Georgia filming new movie Five Killers.

U2 star THE EDGE has gone to war with celebrity neighbours in Malibu, California over his home development plans.
The rocker, real name David Evans wants to build five homes atop a hill high above the seaside town, but his hopes are being challenged by locals, who fear the building will ruin the local environment.
And the proposal has upset locals who live in the exclusive Serra Retreat neighbourhood; these include Dick Van Dyke, Kelsey Grammer and James Cameron.
Malibu councillor Jefferson Wagner tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, "The downside of this is a permanently scarred mountainside for the benefit of a very few that for many years all will view.
"For somebody so revered even to be orchestrating this type of development in such a sensitive area is hypocritical." But The Edge’s representative, Jim Vanden Berg, fires back, explaining the Irish star and his partner are taking pains to ensure that the development will “create a sense of place that respects the environment (and) architecture that will stand the test of time."

The Screen Actors Guild and Hollywood’s top studio executives have reached a deal on a tentative new TV and theatrical agreement package, which will end nine months of tense negotiations.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and SAG bosses announced the parties have shaken hands on successor agreements to the Producer-Screen Actors Guild Codified Basic Agreement.
Details of the agreement covering television programming and movies will not be disclosed prior to review by the SAG national board of directors on Sunday (19Apr09).
If the deal is agreed it will end strike threats - the first Hollywood industrial action since the writers strike in 2007 and 2008.
Screen Actors Guild officials rejected what was called the "last, best and final offer" from Hollywood’s biggest film studios for a new contract in February (09).
The union, which represents approximately 120,000 actors, voted by nearly 75 per cent to turn down the offer over the studios’ demand that the contract begin from when it is signed.
The national governing board of the Screen Actors Guild wants the deal to start from when the last one expired in June last year (08).
