I overslept for my job for like 4 years. Luckily I had a cool boss.

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
Everything will be ok in the end. if it's not ok, its not the end.

Melatonin is the chemical that makes you feel tired and want to go to sleep.

It's hard when you don't have something important to wake up to. When I have a test that morning, it just seems so easy to wake up (which is how I found out). So you just have to think of it as something important to do.

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)

You need 8 hours of sleep to wake up feeling rested. Try to plan your sleep schedule ahead and don't stay up too late. Also, once you get in a habit of waking up at a certain time, I find that it becomes natural to wake up at that time even when the alarm isn't set.

I can get up, turn off the alarm, have some food, say hello to flatmates, accidentally sit on my bed at any given point and I will wake up 8 hours later. I can also happily sleep for 12-14 hours per day. As well turn complicated alarms off and have full conversations while I am asleep.

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.

How about getting a reason to actuallly get up? 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 use a series of alarms on my clock and cell phone to get me up in the morning. I NEED to be out of bed by 8, so my first alarm hits at 7:05, next is 7:15, 7:20, 7:30, 7:40, 7:50, and two separate alarms for 8. when my cell phone (one of the 8 o'clock ones) goes off I KNOW I have to get out of bed and I am already semi-awake anyway so it's not as bad. the snooze button is your friend (when compared to turning your alarm off completely)

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!

Same thing as ishboh kinda.
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.. =/

Perhaps you're not waking up at a time optimal based on sleep cycles and when you go to bed. Try

Snooze button! I have to find the slider to shut off the alarm for my clock, so I'm obliged to wake up. Since snooze is a giant button on top I usually hit it when I want a extra few minutes of shut-eye.

Melatonin is very useful to knock you out so you can recover from jet lag, not to make you wake up.

only thing that works for me is having very important day or putting the alarm clock few meters away and then i kinda have to step up from bed. That doesn't always work but atleast now I actually remember the alarm clock ringing.

Rig it to explode if you push any button that causes it to turn off, or if you pull out the cord. After your hand is bloodied and you have to buy a new one, you'll appreciate the value of not pushing the button. Just leave the room and wait out the buzzing.

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

When I was much younger I liked to coon hunt. A lot of nights when my dogs would get away from me I'd end up being out in the woods until really late when I had school the next day.

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 looking at waking up like a chore and treat it as a means to get something fucking done.

Stop going to bed at 2am.

In short, grow up.
If you're mad that someone else is brazenly trumpeting their beliefs with ignorance, perhaps you should be mad that you are doing it too.
