Set your alarm to beep...then turn it up REALLY REALLY loud. Then put the alarm all the way across your room so that when it goes off...you have to get up outta bed...then go hop in the shower...and that should wake you up...
Hope this helps...good luck with cross country....God bless you.

Set your alarm for at least an hour before, and go to bed at a reasonable time (I like about 7 hours sleep a night but everyone is different) Also put a light on first thing and possibly music/TV to awaken your senses and mind. Then wash your face with cold water. All this works for me (I start work a 6 am, have to get up about 4!)

Make sure you go to bed early. You can try putting the alarm clock across the room, but I found that I would just get up, turn it off, and stagger back to bed. I think your best bet might be to have a pal from the cross country team or someone else who is a reliable early riser call you and talk to you until you're coherent.

Try going to bed a little earlier say you go to bed at 12:00 pm and you wake up at 8 that is exactly 8 hours sleep if you go to bed at 10:00 pm then you will wake up at 6:00 am see that will work out and don't put your alarm to a punk rock station this will make you wake up in a bad mood that's if you don't listen to rock music.
I have also heard that if before you go to sleep gently hit you Head against the pillow lets say you have to wake up at six in the morning hit your head on the pillow six times and just keep on saying the time you have to wake up six times and then go to bed see how that works.

adjust the alarm clock.
If you go to bed at the same time every night...let's say 10:30...change the alarm clock time in 2 minute intervals. You are more apt to respond "favorably" to the alarm clock if you are not in REM sleep. Mine is 6:14 in the morning. This does work!

Put the alarm clock on the other side of the room where you have to get out of bed in order to turn it off. If it's not loud enough, get a timer on a radio and turn it up as loud as it will go on the gospel station. This works for me.

Did you try putting the alarm clock away from the bed so that you have to get out of bed to turn it off?

You have to go to bed earlier... When I was exercising I automatically got up earlier. Proper nutrition will get you up earlier as well.... There really aren't any tricks to it, the body naturally sleeps about 5-8 hours per night... Good Luck to you

Use the alarm clock, and also, have a GOOD REASON to get up the first time! Like, eating a good breakfast or something. It motivates you.
