My key to waking up is psychological.
Firstly, I am a teacher and I must be to work by 8:10 AM regardless the partying the night before.

I normally have to rise at 7 to get to work on time.

The smart thing to do is not to rise at 7, instead I set the clock for 6:50. If I really am so lazy that morning I can't get up right away, I hit snooze and sleep 10 more minutes - but I'll still get up on time.

I am ALWAYS on time and NEVER Late.

My parents used a similar trick...they set the clocks in their cars 5 or 10 minutes fast to make them rush to work - always getting there well before punch in time.
