That and I have a cat that as soon as the alarm goes off is in my face pawing at me for foods. This helps tremendously as I know he will not leave me alone and I feel bad if I ignore his hunger >^..^< | ||

Anyway it is really easy, just put it somewhere where you have to get up to turn it off. One year at school I had my bed lofted so I had to climb down from the ceiling to turn off my alarm, made it much easier to go to class every morning (it stopped working well near the end of the year though, I would end up laying on my futon every morning after turning off the alarm and I would sleep there for several extra hours). | ||

I think it's funny that after multiple posts discussing how someone got warned for saying this because it was in the OP, someone just said it again. I guess it's different since it's not a direct suggestion, but still  Anyways, try turning the light on when you turn off your across-the-room alarm clock  Doesn't work too well with roommates or spouses, but it worked well for me when I could use it. | ||

My droid alarm clock allows for the sound to start quiet and slowly get louder. And the calm music of final fantasy usually helps put a smile on my face. I'll sometimes just let it play through the entire song before I get out of bed and turn the alarm off. | ||

For those who cannot tell, it's a cell phone alarm. It's resting at an angle, and the vibration from the alarm causes it to slide off the shelf and onto my lower torso. | ||

Instead of setting it 30 minutes early to allow for a bunch of snoozes, I just set it at a time where I know I need to get up. It lets me get more actual sleep instead of compounding the problem and pissing me off at the same time. If you're having problems getting up when the alarms rings and they're not related to disease/depression/etc, then you quite simply aren't getting enough sleep and you need to make an effort to get more (or go to bed at times that don't mess over your circadian rhythm too much) well as a student, more than often i DONT get enough sleep, and in the case that this happens and i have problems getting up, setting the snooze to 2 hours before my wake up time and 30minute-1hour intervals gets me up. even if i go to sleep at 6 am and need to get up by 9 am. | ||

Personally I don't usually use an alarm, I naturally wake up at about 6:30 every day. When I used an alarm more consistently I would just let the 9-minute snooze run a few times and I would get up, although I remember when I was younger I would wake up the first time. Probably because I went to bed earlier then, not because of my age. Recently I've been pushing myself to overcome a lack of performance and self control when tired or drowsy, and I'm learning stay focused and alert. Being able to do this naturally has an advantage over relying on caffine, because you can begin it right when you wake up. | ||

At the same time, when I wake up to an alarm I always feel groggy and tired but when I used to be able to wake up on my own, I would feel fully rested. I think part of it is I stay up too late on my laptop. I've cut that out now and started reading instead so hopefully that will help a bunch (I have the whole A Song of Ice and Fire series ordered from Amazon to reinforce this idea, really pumped to read those, I love watching Game of Thrones).Or wake you up in the middle of the night I wake up off of feel, I dunno how it works, but my body just wakes me up at around 8:00 am every morning. I hate using alarms. Also, I just looked and finally found a non-awful math-based alarm for my phone so that should help a ton. Edit: I also used to do an alarm every minute for 10 minutes, but eventually I got lazy/smart enough to just turn them all off after the first one so that ended up failing. The above mentioned odd time intervals is what I used up until a month ago when finals started when I just turned off my alarms and either woke up at 10AM or when my mom or dog nagged me into getting out of bed. | ||
