This is something that I’m terrible at doing, much to my partner’s frustration! I know that it makes sense to do this, as apart from anything else it would mean that I could set my alarm later!
How to get up the first time my alarm clock goes off
How I did it: I remembered my mother's alarm clock and how he kept hitting the snooze button about five times in a row before he finally got up. It disturbed my sleep quite a bit and actually woke me up prematurely.During college, I elected not to take this route and unintentionally piss off my roommate - so I got a prepaid cellphone with a really annoying ringtone to wake me up. It works every time, mainly because I get up as fast as possible to shut it off. Because I hate that ringtone.
Lessons & tips: A lesson I learned is that you have to apply self-torture and some discipline - even if it means waking up to Crazy Frog every morning, you WILL get up.
Resources: Cellphone + irritating ringtone.

I actually got up for a few minutes at my normal time, then went BACK to bed and slept until 9:30! I’m so frustrated, because I feel like I waste my entire morning. I’m taking some Benadryl tonight and going to bed at 10:30…we’ll see how it goes.

Sleep is just too good. My dreams have been pretty cool lately too. I’m always rushing in the morning though. Maybe I should go to bed earlier and I’ll get the sleep I want
I’m not a ‘snoozer’ and it pays off. Besides, once you get up and at ‘em, you’re less sleepy and you can move forward with you day. Why prolong the inevitable? Besides, in the grand scheme of things, what difference is 7 extra minutes of sleep going to make anyway??
