So I had the same problem, so I went out and got a cheaper one of those ipod/radio alarm clocks (this way I can vary what song plays and I don't become desensitized to the same sound every day) and it goes off first across my room and just keeps getting louder until I turn it off. Then 3-5 minutes later my cellphone alarm goes off with a really loud ringtone. I've been doing it for 5 months now and I get up almost every-time (with exception on those really bad days where you just can't get up. lol) Another idea I've thought about is putting my alarm in a small cage that I can't reach into, with a combination lock on it (maybe have the combination written down next to it if you can't remember it fast enough when you wake up); so that way you have to focus enough that your body realizes your actually awake.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

put your alarm clock across the room

Funny how this should come up when I did the same thing this morning, causing me to miss my mid-term (prof was nice, though, and let me do it in his office when I finally did make it in) I have a habit of just switching off the alarm clock in my sleep, as well. Setting it up across the room doesn't work for me because I just stumble out of bed and swat at shit until the beeping stops, then go back to bed.

i don't believe this. and btw, sleep apnea is where you stop breathing in your sleep

Sounds like someone needs a running alarm clock: http://www.latestbuy.com.au/clocky-alarm-clock.html

#10, that doesn't work. I just snooze the motherf***er and jump back ino my bed. Snooze, Hell's button!

put it on the other side of the room. This is what I do, has worked for a long time, if you sleep walk, move it P.S. number 14 sounds like a douche, please take your computer and throw it out the window to solve our problem

hunee, iv been doing that for a WHILE.

Lol this happens to me every now and then. Usually on holidays though.
