Besides going to bed on time, try a sunrise clock . . . the light wakes you up naturally. Regular alarms tend to "shock" one out of a sleep.

I have the same problem and I've tried a couple of things. All of them work occasionally but not every time.
Try putting your alarm on the other side of the room. That way it'll irritate you into waking up enough to get out of bed and turn it off. Just put as much distance as you can between you and the snooze button.
Another thing I've tried is really focusing on what I need to do for the day. If I can think of something that I can get excited about then it makes the whole morning scene a little less groggy.
And I'm sure this is going to be the most popular answer you'll receive from anyone... but go to bed earlier. Seriously, it works GREAT. With a couple more hours sleep every night you'll be able to get soo much done.
Those are the big tricks I use. Like I said, they USUALLY work, but not all the time. All of them in combination with each other almost always work though. Good luck.

I had had this problem all my life. I like to stay up late. Now I try to go to bed earlier as everyone need more sleep than they are getting now-days. It is healthy to sleep 8 hours so you can feel good and be alert on the job. Also they say it help keep your weight down. It may take a few nights getting used to going to bed earlier but if you get up the same time every AM you will be sleepy earlier. Best of luck with this.

DO NOT GO TO BED EARLIER... it just makes you feel lazier when is time to get up. I go through it every day.
I suggest you think a couple of times about the specific hour you have to get up, before you go to bed. I use a small radio in my room as my alarm, I program it to start on a station I know will be playing lively music. Set the alarm 15 or 20 minutes ahead of the actual time, with a slightly loud volume. In that way, you will wake up and listen to some 10 or 15 minutes of music before actually getting off the bed!

I have a few suggestions -- go to sleep early-- go to sleep at the same time every night for at least 2 weeks -- waking up at the same time every morning for 2 weeks as well so that u can get ur self on a routine -- turn the t.v. off at night -- sleep with an eye mask on -- don't drink caffeine or eat sweets right before u go to sleep so that u can rest peacefully - a good night sleep will make ti easier for u to wake up

Your body is telling you you need more sleep. Perhaps you also
have a lumpy mattress?
1. Go to bed one hour earlier each night for one week, until you
wake up refreshed. Make that your new "bedtime".
2. Make sure you have a proper mattress
3. Do not drink coffee or eat anything after 6 p.m
4. Get a very loud clock alarm

I had the same problem. Some people have problems with getting adequate sleep. This doesn't mean they get very little sleep but the sleep they get is not good sleep. Do you have asthma? Do you snore? Some people have sleep apnea while they sleep which deprives the brain of oxygen and can cause really bad sleep for a person. This can be diagnosed by a doctor and easily fixed. Allergies and brochial issues can cause inadequate breathing and sleeping patterns. You should discuss the problem with your doctor. Inadequate sleep can play havic with your life.

No caffeine after 6PM and only a light snack at night. Set a regular time to go to bed, say 10:00 every night. If you set your alarm for 6am or 7am, you should have enough sleep to let you wake up and get out of bed. Just set a routine and follow it every night. Good luck - hope this helps.

Put the alarm clock across the room. That way you HAVE to get up to turn the darn thing off! I have an alarm clock AND I have a stereo set to cut on at an early hour a little louder than I'd like. It wakes me up.

I have the same problem. Its like a different time zone.
I suppose you've tried setting an alarm clock. I've heard they used to have variations of those that dumped cold water, etc.
You could try giving yourself incentives, rewarding yourself, such as having your favorite breakfast, or taking a walk (if you enjoy walks).
Part of my problem is I think in extremes. I either want to get up really early, or nap until its absolutely necessary to get up. One incentive for getting up really early is to see the sun rise. That might be enough of a reason (It worked for me for one day, and I had a lot of relaxing beforehand).
Another technique is simple enough: get excited about going to bed really early, like its daring and impossible. What will happen if I go to bed at 10 o'clock? or 8? What will I do with myself if I just can't sleep in the morning? My record may not show it, but I believe that there's always something to do.
Some of us just don't feel special enough to get up early. We feel like we have to be perfect, and motivated, and on top of the world to do anything at 7 or 9 a.m. So one procedure to follow is to look at your conception of yourself, and see if there is a way to see yourself in a better light, as someone who works as a force of good in the world.
I hope I have been of use to you, as it seems like a serious problem to me too.
