Get rid of the alarm clocks. I know we are not to have electricity in our rooms to sleep , but instead of your plugged in alarm clock , if you don't have a wind up or a battery clock, what to do is this:

Plug a timer in instead , set it to come on when you will want up, or a few minutes earlier. To the timer plug in a bright light to come on, beside you be good. So when the timer hits your time, the light comes on , it might wake you up more pleasantly than a noise will.

You may want to have it set for 5 minutes before the Alarm till it starts working for you.

Some people wake their children up by turning on the light in their room, instead of yelling to get up.

I need a metal clanger alarm. I sleep with the covers up to my ears and do not hear the electronic bee-beep alarms. I went thru a lot of them (made in China) as they wore out so easily. Then, my husband found an older one in a second hand store that has been working well for several years now. I also need to have a robe within reach as crawling out of a warm bed into cold air is such a shock to my system. It does not feel that cold once I am up for a while, but those first few minutes are terrible. In summer, I awake with the sun. I am not too hard on myself if I sleep in a bit longer on dark winter days as I believe this is a natural cycle. I try to get more rest over the winter.
