Apart from going to bed earlier the night before, does anyone have any tips on how to wake up on time?

Question

I have tried everything including several alarm clocks and even radio clocks.

Every morning I wake up to my alarm clock usually during a crucial part of an interesting dream - just as I'm about to make a discovery or something! However the temptations to stay in bed are there and often I count the 60 bleeps of the alarm (or less depending on how conscious I am) and then just snooze for 20 odd minutes.

Once up, I tend to feel very sluggish and often have to sit for several more minutes in a wishful state because I want to go back to bed! Getting up earlier doesn't work because I just reward myself with longer in the snooze-state.

Does anyone know of any good tips I could use to help me out?

Get a very loud clock ( like one with a bell ) and place it in your room where you HAVE to get up to stop the obnoxious noise, then force yourself into the bathroom for a face wash to get it started.
