I can't wake up in the morning!!!?
I just can't seem to get up in the morning!
I set two alarm clocks, which I leave around my room, but I always wake up 10 minutes after I'm supposed to be in college with no memory of my alarms going off...apparently they go off loads and I just repeatedly hit 'sleep' (this is according to my housemates!)
Anyway, my mum has suggested buying an old-fashioned alarm clock and sticking it in a tin, but I don't really wanna annoy the neighbours...I live in a terraced house with a neighbours bedroom backing onto mine!
Just wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for getting up...please don't say more sleep, I can't afford it ;)
Thanks everyone

Thanks so much for all the replies guys!!
Every morning I leave 2 different alarm clocks in different places around the room and I still don't remember getting up to turn them off, even though I leave them both where I have to open my eyes to find them (either that or I'm a skilled finder in my sleep, I'm not too sure!)
I probably don't get enough sleep, but that's beside the point! Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about that!!
I've been looking at alarm clocks online, I think I'm gonna get one called 'clocky', it has wheels and rolls around your room making noise! Has anyone ever tried it?

try a wake-up light.
the natural way for your body to wake up is to respond to light.
have you noticed if you have a lie in you often cant get to sleep because the light is coming through your curtains?
i think this is a good one

What i'm about to say is going to be annoying when you do this tip- Tell your roommate(s) to hide it in your room, and then in the morning you have to get up and find it, or just put it away as far from your bed. If you have a bathroom in your room, that would be a great place for it. This will get your circulation running, and your eyes open, etc. Do this! it might be annoying at first.

An alarm clock and an alarm on my telephone. Then a sprint of water on my face. or perhaps then, i'm nonetheless like the strolling ineffective for a couple of minutes. No, I doubt a carebear would desire to wake me up.

Ok when you 1st wake, you must get up within 1 minute and you will be wide awake in no time, if you still find it hard, keep a red bull by your bed for when you wake up.
when you fall asleep after waking once, you fall into a deeper heavier sleep if you are tired. its hard to do, but instead of reaching for the snooze button reach for the red bull neck it and get up. i had the same problem but if you force yourself for a few weeks you will start to notice yourself waking before your alarm.
Failing that set your alarm for say 5am if you are to get up at 9 then you can hit snooze as much as you want and still get up on time this was also one of my methods when i was growing up.
now i wake at 7am regardless of what day it is, yes sometimes it a curse but im never late!! and i hate stress and being late causes a lot of stress!!
Hope that helps it worked for me give it a go!!

the only real way is to get someone to wake you up for you. till the age of 20-ish you actually genetically have different body clocks to adults, you only really wake up in the afternoon, so the whole forcing students to be awake and at college at the same time as adults is kind of unfair. but unless your tutors buy this as an excuse, you're out of luck. if a person's body clock is saying sleep, it doesn't matter how many alarm clocks they set, they're gonna hit the snooze. getting someone to wake you up who doesn't mind you hating them for it is the only way to get out of bed and stay out of bed; my parents say i used to swear like anything when they woke me up, i don't remember doing it, but luckily they don't hold it against me; even better, get them to make you breakfast in bed, that way you feel guilty at how kind they've been and wake up enough to eat it. by the way if you have 8 hours sleep, getting up should be a lot easier, but i don't know how much going to bed stupidly early every night is gonna sound. alternatively, the indians used to drink loads of water before going to bed, then their need to go to the bathroom would wake them...

Get a really loud alarm that you're bound to here and hide it somewhere. in the morning you'd have to look for it to find it and you'd be pretty much awake by the time you figure out where it is. don't hide it too well though, you might end up just covering you'r head in a blanket!

just put the alarm clock some place out of your reach so you actually have to get out of bed to turn it off.

Go to bed early.. its probably because you are not getting your 8 full hours of sleep.
That’s the cheapest and healthy way to go my friend.
