    My alarm is a metal song and it usually wakes me up pretty damn quick, I usually don't have a problem just getting out of bed after being shocked awake.

    Please, rubah, don't exaggerate. 72 is merely "cold" for someone from SoCal. It has to get at least lower than 70 to become "super cold."

    It was 77 degrees on Sunday and yesterday it snowed. Texas weather is lame sometimes

    Placing your alarm far away from you is a start, Sra. Jesse, but you need raise your bed so it's like a bunk bed! Getting up into mine involves standing on a dresser and climbing up the side. Needless to say, it's quite an ordeal to get down to the ground and turn off Mr. Alarm Clock (who lives in my closet). :D

    I have an idea! Before bed, duct tape your alarm really high on the wall--as high as you can reach, like with a chair. Then in the morning you have to scramble to find your chair and hop up to try to turn that little cutie off~! :DDD Climb, climb!

    Video tape it as well. As hilarity is sure to ensue.

    Basically I set my alarm about an hour before class every night and tell myself that I'm going to wake up at that time, but then the alarm goes off and I'm miserable and I reset the alarm for like 10 or 15 minutes ahead and keep doing that until it gets to the point where I literally have to get out of bed and shower or I will be late. It usually works.

    Well I have to get up at 6:30 am, I set my alarm for 06:19 so I have 10 mins to snooze and then I have 50 mins to get showered and clothed. I do my make up on the bus because it takes me 1 hour and 30 mins to get to my work.

    To help me wake up I have my shower and before I get out I put it on cold to wake me up, then a splash my face with cold water and moisturise. Eating cereal helps me feel better and a drink of orange juice before I leave the house.

    I'm actually most tired on the bus on the way home, I have to try my best not to fall asleep.

    I can barely sleep at all so waking up isn’t really a problem

    I've been alternating between using this song & this song coming on really loud via iTunes the past couple weeks to get me up and out of bed. Works like a charm.

    I just get up. If I don't have anything to do then I roll over and stay in bed all day. So I just convince myself I need to get out of bed and then I do.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Yeah, I find as long as I get enough hours of sleep (which for me is about 7-8) I don't have any problems getting out of bed. If I still feel tired I'll just have a quick cup of coffee to help me get going.

    My alarm plays me "Bad Romance". That will get you up, and keep you up.
