What gets you up in the mornings?

[Reaper195]

Knowing that if I can't man up to get out of bed to get on with life, I should just kill myself. And I don't want to die. It gets easier when a mate agrees to kill you if you are still in bed by 7:30. Also...lying in bed doing nothing is boring after the last eight hours.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

For me, it's the knowledge that if I don't get up general lethargy will take over the parts of my personality now dominated by a combination of determination and the desire to try to live life in a more fulfilling way, also if I get called in for a shift at work I want to be awake to answer the phone and then get my ass to work to get some hours in and make some money so I may eventually shake off this load of debt, and start saving towards a new gaming computer, this netbook is kinda crap for gaming... Like, really crap, but, at least it runs a few things.

My massive morning boner.
Alternatively, my phone's alarm. Luckily for me, I have to leave for work at like, 4:30 PM, so on days with no school I can sleep in really late if I so desire.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

I set my alarm one hour earlier than I have to and then I have an hour to wake up or rest before my second alarm goes off.

Or you can take up insomnia and never sleep

I've just always been able to get up when I need to even when it's early as fuck, but if it's a day that I know I don't have to be up then I can't convince myself to wake up earlier than 9.

The days my roommate has earlier classes than me i tell him to wake me up before he leaves.

The days i've got the early classes i'm motivated by the fact i'm almost failing biology so the only way to maintain a passing grade is to actually get up for that class. Usually this is accomplished by setting an alarm an hour before i have to get up and then have the repeat every ten minutes until i get up. Usually it's pretty quickly though because... grades are a good motivator.

My wake-up alarm sound has both been the Enterprise "Red Alert" sound and various Samsung phone alarm tones. I find the most obnoxious one, set to it's loudest possible setting and put it as close as possible...but as far as possible so I actually have to get out of bed to switch it off. I also have the central heating come on about 30 minutes beforehand, as I simply do not get out of bed into the cold. No. Just no.

Two Steps from Hell playing through my alarm clock, followed by coffee.

The thought of being able to continue playing video games.

Two alarms that wake me up at 5:30 in the morning so that I can get ready for teaching an 8:00 am recitation on Tuesdays and every other Thursday. One of those alarms is an app on my laptop simply called "Alarm Clock 2". I set an alarm for those days of the week, and it plays this from my iTunes:

 

[Kaymish]

i use might of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov9cmbpP55w] the empire [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ] from RA3 and set it for 20 minutes before i need to get up its an epic song but you dont want it going off at full volume at 0600 and i am not a morning person so the 10 min snooze gets a bit of a work out

 

[Fiad]

I have the Doctor Who opening play very loudly. That gets you up hella fast.

 

[Storm Dragon]

Simple, a few weeks ago I set my phone to play the following song when I need to get up at the highest possible volume:
I have not overslept since.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

Booze, and sometimes my alarm clock.

And there was a little sheep on a little log.

 

[StormShaun]

I get myself up in the morning...
If you get my drift.

Ok I I'm joking, I'm easy to get up in the morning...all I need is a splash of water on my face.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

It's almost all been said or at least mentioned before, so...

bonus hidden message:

Grow the melonfarm up. Your dad meant well, but what he did was spoil you like the 11-year old puppy dog that still shits on the carpet when you annoy it by looking at it or dare to talk to someone else without begging for the dog's consent beforehand.

Take responsibility for yourself, and if you're too lazy to think of solutions yourself, try out the suggestions handed to you in this thread. One by one, as they're pretty much all valid.

I'd leave the live bomb for last, though, as it's probably against campus policy to wire explosives to an electrical device.

Ok, so I read on Icanhazcheeseburger that one guy bought or made this alarm that wouldn't stop ringing the most ear piercing shrill sound imaginable until it was assembled again. It would break apart and you'd have to assemble it to be able to turn it off. He kept it inside a double locked container or something and he kept the key to open that under one of those hidden key rock things next out in his yard. Maybe way out in his yard. Like the mailbox.
