How to wake up when my alarm clock goes off
It made me
 "Finally after years of struggling, I am now up at 6am! And haven't been late for work once!""
How I did it: I set the alarm clock 20 minutes fast so I had extra time (even if sleeping in for a few minutes or trying to work out what to wear) and I also set my mobile alarm (three times) to ensure that I really did get woken up. Lessons & tips: When the alarm goes off, get straight out of bed.. Resources: Alarm clock and mobile phone

yawn. a lot. 
How I did it: I listened to this podcast about happiness and one of the first things she said was, "How do you think it's going to make you feel when the first thing you do in the morning is battle with a shrill alarm clock telling you to wake up?"I always slept with one of those eye mask things on because it gets SO light SO freaking early in the warm months here, so I ditched the eye mask and just let the sun wake me up in the morning. Sure, I get up… Read how I did it…

How I did it: For years I had always been late for school and constantly rushing to get ready for things due to me sleeping in late. So I decided to just get up. I thought it would be really hard, but it was actually really easy, just turned out, I was being to lazy about things. Read how I did it…

How I did it: i just really had to stick to an idea. i gave myself a goal- if i wake up, then i can get to work, and if i make it through work, i can have things that make me happier. and once i started doing that, and realized i was happier because of it, i was able to do it anytime because i wasn't beating down the idea of waking up ever time i heard that chime.

How I did it: I used three different alarms set to go off within five minutes of each other around the room. It was annoying but soon I had the habit of just getting up and stop hitting the snooze. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I basically figured out what I think is worth waking up over. Work? No. Exercise? Hell no. Working on my business? Ding, ding, ding! Each day, I basically do each of those things. I just happened to try the one that worked last.Starting out working on my business at 5:00 or 5:30 every morning had these benefits: I leave for work feeling super-accomplished already.

Day 1
1 week ago
So after Following the advice of one of the entries I set all my clocks back 20 mins and set my alarm like i normally would so when i hit snooze this morning (which i still did…IKR) BUT ! the twenty min cushion was enough for me to get to class on time so… so far so good !

I didn’t actually set an alarm last night, but I did wake up (and yes, I stayed awake) at 6:30 this morning. That’s a lot better than my usual 11:00am arousal. However, I should have taken advantage of the time and gone for a run. I need to get some new headphones so I can take up running again… I just get too bored without some music to listen to and distract me from my breathing.

Don't think...Just get up!!
1 week ago
Nah, I’ve never fulfilled this goal. But like what I promised myself today, I will accomplish this very simple task: “Don’t think and just get up when the alarm goes off!!” Doing this for a month would really help me change my weak habit of waking up a late. If that happens, then going to school early wouldn’t be a problem/struggle for me anymore.

I have overslept way too much since I’ve started college, mostly due to the fact that I’ve been staying up much too late. So I suppose I should try to get to bed earlier (meaning do my homework earlier) and then I should be able to get up when the alarm goes off.

A new clock will do it
1 week ago
I bought an old fashion wind-up clock with two big bells on it,
ringing awfully loud. From this day I will awake without a doubt (no excuses that I did not hear the alarm). The next step us actually getting up (instead of trowing the alarm-clock through the room with a discontented groan).
