Anyway, the only thing that works for me is having a routine....You also need a reason to wake up so maybe take a walk every morning, eat icecream, jump on a trampoline.. whatever works 4 u I also use a medicine called melatonina.. I think its a sleep hormone that is useful if you dont get too much sunlight  | ||

GSL helped me with it aswell, I slept around 3/4AM and woke up at 10AM to watch Tastosis :D Also, even if you don't have anything important, making a it a habbit works aswell (waking up early) | ||

I try putting it far away, but I can get up and turn it off in my sleep quite effectively too, and living in a dorm room while being 188cm means that no place is too far to fall back into bed. I don't want to leave my computer + 5.1 speakers on all night as that is just retarded, as well as loud. I do like the suggestion of warming the room before you go to sleep, however it might wake me up before I am supposed to. I find that using my phone which has to be unlocked while playing some rammstein or such does the job more often than not. | ||

I have no problem waking up for school/work/appointments, even if got pissdrunk the night before and slept for only 3 hours. However, if I dont have anything special to do i say fuck the world and keep sleeping... I second this guy. I have a job so I have to get up, I exist on about 6 hours sleep a night monday-friday. However when I was at uni I was probably on double that and couldn't wake up for shit. Have a reason to get up!  | ||

3 different devices (normal alarm clock, 2 cell phones). Each of the Cell phones with 4 alarms each (takes 1 second to turn them all on) in an alternating fashion with prime numbers between the times and different snooze/repeat timers, placed at different positions in the room. Radio alarm comes first, because it's the closest to the bed (can reach it without standing up) and the least annoying. Then my iPhone which is placed out of reach with the default alarm sound (i hate it! which is good). And finally my old company phone, some sony ericcson thing, without even a sim-card, that is _really_ loud. Never failed to wake up to this if I got more than 3 hours of sleep. Then depending on how important it is to get up, I skip some of the phones or alarms. If I have no appointments at all, the sony one will stay off for sure. ;-) Mostly the iphone or the normal alarm clock get me up. In general it is recommendable to just sleep long enough, but most people can not afford or acoomodate to that. =/ Ah and one more thing: For the last 3 years of school (man that's 8-10 years ago O_O) I switched to another school which was ~45 km away, so I needed to get up at 5:30 to arrive at 8:00. Since I am a night owl, I can not sleep before 00:00, so I rarely got more than 5 hours sleep a night those years. It became harder and harder to get up and in the end, I even slept from Friday evening till sunday once. O_O The thing that always got me up at that time was just creating a timer with my PC and a loud song at really loud volume. Always wondered that nobody in the house woke up to it but me, but whatever, it worked awesome. The song was Rhapsody of fire - Emerald Sword, because it has an awesome wake up start ;D I really liked it before, but I totally can not stand the first minute of it since then.... The rest is fine. ;-) That's my biggest warning if anyone takes music - for alarms as well as for cell phones: Do not take your favorite songs, you will start to hate them.. =/ | ||

In all seriousness, you just need to develop motivation to actually get out of bed, it's simply a matter of will power. | ||

To help me wake up, I would put a strip of duct tape on my leg and then rip it off like a band aid when my alarm went off. | ||

Stop going to bed at 2am. In short, grow up. | ||
