I just get more sleep. If you're so tired you can't physically get up, you need more sleep, whether that is 8, 9, 10+ hours. Either that or you are just realllllllly undisciplined and unwilling to take responsibility for your actions.

Why would you warn him for this answer?!
That's what I do and it works for me.
I usually need 7 hours of sleep durking work days to be refreshed.
When I sleep less, I have red eyes for the whole morning (that is usually the first two lectures at university)
Note: I wear contact lenses, so the red eyes wont go away completely for the rest of the day.

Also I have experienced the fact, that I am more refreshed and on spot of things in the morning, when I immediately stand up
when my clock goes off and immediatelly shower than waiting for some snooze cycles from my alarm clock and then shower.

Someone else experienced the same things I did?

I'm guessing it's because it was a really short answer, suggesting something that the OP said he already tried.

My ringtone on my phone is super, super cheesy so I have to get up a little bit to turn it off so no one in my house hears it.
Usually I just lay in my bed for a couple of minutes and then get up. Don't ask me how I know when to get up, but I just do after feeling I've rested enough.

Best way though, is to just get a ton of sleep. You will always be able to get out of bed.
Remember it requires more effort to get in bed early than getting out of bed. It sucks you lose like a few hours of your day everyday sleeping early (I know I just got out of college and it's hard to not play a few extra hours on your favorite game), but you will thank yourself in the morning.

Also I read somewhere that even the minimum number of hours is 8 no matter what age you are. I know someone that is 65 years old and sleeps 13+ hours a day.

I take out the snooze button itself, at the same time I make the batteries easily removable as well. It takes more effort to take out the battery than hitting a button after all.

You were warned for this? Really? Am I being trolled?

Honestly OP, just put your alarm clock out of reach so you have to get up. Or you can set multiple alarms 1 minute apart so you are so annoyed you end up getting up...(That's what I do)

sometimes i turn it off without even remembering it. so i've moved it farther away from me so i have to get up to turn it off. then once i'm up i'm all jazzed up and ready to go steal some ladder points.

i really can't see how you have a problem after you have stood up on your feet. do some jumping jacks or push ups or something! if you conscious you have no excuse :D

When my alarm rings I just get up

. Its hard but I do it. Never use the snooze button personally as I just find it a waste of time to lay there waiting for it to go off again lol.

usually the latest mobilephones etc have the feature of voice-recorsing.

so grab you mobile, start record and play the "spawn more overlord / additional supply depots required / you must construct additional pylons" for the first wave. not awake yet ?
go over to "our drones are under attack" (or correpsonding warning for your race)
sleeping like a bear in hibernation ?
go for "nuclear launch detected ... and you have no detection"
hope you are awake now ... if not well
get the day9-scream and that should do too

ofc, you could just increase the amount of alarmclocks, my roommate is using 3 ... which is pretty BS for me, because i have to get up after him usually ...

A friend of mine wired an alarm clock to a blender and then put something valuable of his in the blender. Then he put the blender in his garage, with the alarm clock attached to the blender set to go off 10 minutes after the alarm clock in his room. That way you wake up with the knowledge that if you don't get out of bed within a few minutes you will lose whatever valuable thing you left in the blender.

Pretty cool I thought. I think you can get alarm clocks which shred money online if you don't have the skills or time to wire up a blender to a clock :D

that's sick... this would work 100% if the thing getting blended is just valuable enough to you!

I used to have this problem - it just kind of dissipated over a period of time. I was feeling really lazy and just hit that snooze and go right back to sleep >.< I now wake up right when the alarm rings, no problems, I don't know - maybe my willpower teched :> I wish you the best of luck combating this issue - it's a real pain to deal with. Just make sure you get enough sleep though.

Why do so many people have trouble understanding that someone was warned for making a 5 word suggestion that the OP clearly already tried? Not reading the OP before responding and then making a post that's rendered useless is worthy of a warning on a first offense.

This has even been discussed in the thread multiple times already. I edited the original offending post to be infinitely clear.

No it is not a bad suggestion and I do the same thing with my alarm clock.

I have a cycle that kind of works. Basically I set alarms at 10-30 minute intervals leading up to when I get up. Earlier times have larger intervals between. For example if I need to wake up at 9am I'll set
7:30am
8:30am
8:45am
8:55am
Or something similar. I then set several alarms surrounding the time when I want to wake
8:59am
9:00am
9:01am
9:02am

Eventually I'll get up to one of them

This piece of shit's snooze button flies across the room. To stop this annoying piece of shit (I had this for a month btw) you wake the hell up, you catch the annoying SoB that's probably flown across the room and you jam it back into the clock.

Easier said than done.

For me it's simple enough;

On weekdays; I have to get up for work. If I don't I'll miss the train and be in a lot of trouble. Plus I've adjusted my sleep cycle so that I begin to feel sleepy at 11pm and wake up naturally about thirty minutes before my alarm clock at 7am.

On the weekend: Personally, I feel like it's such a waste to lie in bed all day when I could be getting all the things I need to do (laundry, cleaning, hoovering etc.) finished as early as possible. This allows me to spend the rest of the day either going out or chilling at home. I usually get up no later than 8am on Saturday and Sunday.
