A flying alarm clock. When it goes off, the rotor spins and propels itself, and the bloody thing won't shut up until you stick the rotor back in. Perhaps the most useful gift I've received in recent years. :D
The good old "Turn off" button the alarm clock - Page 13

YES I thought about this too, but going to sleep feels so much better when its cool in the room (but makes getting up so much more difficult), I gotta find a way to make the room warmer as the night goes on xD. | ||

That's quite ignorant. Thing is people are different. Some have no problems in waking up in the morning others do, it's more than "man the fuck up" it's about how the body/brain works. Just as some need 5h of sleep others need 10h. Going to bed an hour earlier isn't going to fix it for not-morning people. I'm not a morning person and no matter how much i sleep i still find waking up before 10 to be very hard. I think it depends a lot on the metabolism. So i guess the only real advice for late-starters is to find a job with a flexible schedule or that doesn't start in the morning  . | ||

There's no such thing is a morning person or a not-morning person. That's just a preference we make. It can change and you can FUCKING GET OVER IT. No matter how hard you think it is to get out of bed and wake yourself the fuck up, it's not hard at all. First world problems. | ||

Just as there is people who can eat a lot and not get any fat and people who will put on fat while barely eating. The metabolism doesn't go the same for everyone. You'll do it anyway because you must, but doesn't mean it's as easy for everyone and no it's not just psychological. | ||

They each have a 10 minute snooze cycle. After a couple of cycles I get up :D A few things to consider: 1) How long after you fall asleep are you setting your alarm for? 2) What is your reason for wanting to be on an earlier schedule? that's what i do. usually takes about 30-40 min of 'snoozing' for me to get up unless i have something to look forward to that day (highly unlikely).

There's this condition called depression. It has nothing to do with manning up. Why would i wake up if i have nothing to look forward to and the only thing i can think of all day is how much life is not worth living. It has nothing to do with what time i go to bet either. I can sleep 16h and still not want to get out of bed. Or sometimes i sleep 3 and go to work. and i'll be 30y old in 3 months. now grow up and stop making sweeping generalizations. | ||

Morning vs. evening preference is an inherent trait, which cannot simply be changed by free will. There have been many studies of this, and several genes identified that contribute to morning/evening preference. Of course, one's choices can contribute to morning/evening preference too (e.g., staying up late with the light on), but ultimately you are fighting against biology. Morning/evening preference is also known to change with age. People naturally sleep the latest around age 18, and progressively shift earlier from there into old age. | ||

If I had a gun pointed in your face and started counting down from 5 you would get up. You simply choose to prioritize sleep over getting up. | ||
