To start with you need more sleep, if you aren't waking up it usually means you are overtired.  Also you may try louder and different alarm noises

stay awake until the local bedtime and then go to bed and get up like you normally would.  This should get you on the local timetable in no time.

I am going to assume that you use an alarm clock to wake you up in the mornings.  If this is so, move the clock away from the bed to a place where you have to get out of bed to shut the alarm off.

dont get him out of bed, it's plain and simple, see, he shouldn't have to depend on you to wake him up, he should do it himself...so just dont wake him up a few times, let him be late, and hopefully he'll learn to get up on his own and let you get some extra ZZZzzz's

The reason you can't wake up early is that you're awake now.  You have to shift your sleep schedule so you get tired and go to sleep early.

Eat an apple with breakfast, it supposedly wakes you up as well as a cup of coffee but is healthier for you.\n\nTake a 15-20 minute powernap on your lunch break, if you work, or after you get home from work/school.\n\nDo 15-20 minutes of exercise a day. It doesn't have to be anything really strenuous - even a little cardio work will work. After a few days of that you will feel more energized already.

move your alarm clock so that you can't reach it without getting up.   or place several alarms to go off one after the other so it would take too much effort to snooze them all.

It takes practice forcing yourself to get up to an alarm without caving to that voice in your head that thinks it's ok to hit snooze. Leave something *unfinished for yourself to pick up on in the morning. Tell yourself as you get into bed that you will get up immediately. Picture yourself getting up in the morning to *finish:\n\n* The Mail\n* The end of a half-watched movie rental\n* A pets feeding \n* Something that needs fixed.\n* Clip your nails of one hand/foot (the one you left for morn)\n* An interesting half-read magazine article\n* Leave swept dust in a dust pan to dump, anything you can leave undone around the house that would drive you nuts.\n* The answer to a riddle you left for the morning \nor some kind of unfinished puzzle game\n* Leave comet in the tub to rinse in the morn\n* Ask someone to write you a note  (you can tell them why)

You need a regular routine, with two aims a) to get you to wake up at the right time b) to get you up and out the house in time to get to work.\n\nTry the following:\nAt night:\n* go to bed at the same time every night. \n* only you know how much sleep you need, but go to bed early enough to get enough sleep\n* you will get better quality sleep if the room is not too hot or cold and has enough humidity, and if you get enough exercise and fresh air during the day.\n* eat at least an hour before bedtime so you don't get indigestion, and don't take any alcohol or caffeine in the hour before bed either\n* after eating, prepare for tomorrow, make sure you have your clothes, papers, etc ready. Check the weather forecast, so you have the right coat, umbrella, gloves, etc ready. Make sure you have your keys/season ticket/work pass'lunch money all ready. This will save you time and stress in the morning.\n* after you have got ready for tomorrow, wind down. Listen to relaxing music, have a hot drink, hot bath, whatever. Put away the screens and read or do a puzzle instead. \n\nIn the morning\n* time how long you need to wash, dress, breakfast \n* then set your alarms for at least15 minutes before you think you need to wake up\n* the art of being a good riser is to get out of bed as soon as you wake up. Don't lie there thinking 'just 5 minutes more....'\n* assuming you don't sleep in the nude, ask your Mum to pull off the duvet, right off the bed. Works every time - and helps air your bed for the next night. \n* wash and dress straight away. Don't hang around eating breakfast in your dressing gown, that's a sure timekiller. You will feel more ready to go if you are dressed.\n* think about what delays you in the morning and fix it. Iron your shirt and make your sandwiches the night before. Get headphones and listen to the news on the way, rather than waiting for the headlines. Check your email when you get to work. Post letters at lunchtime. \n* use lunchtimes to get your personal jobs done eg buying birthday cards, paying bills, pickup dry cleaning; you will get fresh air away from office, which will help you sleep, and it will give you more time in the evening.\n* if you are not a 'morning' person, make it easy for yourself by getting things ready the night before so all you have to do is get  up and go.\n\nGood luck

Before going to sleep make yourself determined that you are surely gonna wakeup early to say your prayer. Then Allah will help you rise from your bed.\nIt works for me and i often get up just at the time of azan\nIts the matter of your link with Allah

I have trouble getting up, too. I have three alarm clocks that I have to get up out of bed to turn off. One of them has "soothing nature sounds," and I set it to the one that sounds like a trickling brook... the water sounds makes me jump up and scurry to the bathroom.

Before going to bed try to remember something that motivates you to go to school.. like you are going to see this hot guy and you wanna get up earlier so you put your make up on and stuff, or play some nice music that you LOVE, set your alarm clock 20 min before you need to get up that way it gives you time to kinda relax and don't make you feel grumpy..

Yes but if you keep hitting the snooze button then you are losing energy for the day. Set your alarm for the latest time you can get up. Hope this helps!!!!!

There are a few things you can try. \n\n1) Make sure during the day you do not take any naps (even just dozing off for a few minutes can affect your ability to get to sleep)\n\n2) Avoid caffiene or sweets any time near you going to bed.\n\n3) Try getting a white noise machine. They play a variety of sounds (crickets, rain, ocean, birds etc).\n\n4) Set a bed time and go to bed at the same time EVERY night.\n\n5) Turn off all lights and make sure you are comfortable. Close your eyes and try to focus on the white noise sound. If your mind starts to wander, focus it back on the white noise.\n\n6) Get comfortable and take deep relaxing breaths. Avoid the impluse to shift or rollover. \n\n7) Finally, be patient. don't expect to be able to go to sleep right away.  At first it might take a long time to go to sleep, but if you are consistant with your bed time and these efforts your body will adjust to the schedule and you will find it easier to get to sleep each night.

well I don't know what to tell you but I feel your pain, if I don't set an alarm I can sleep all day and the only way I wake up is if I have to use the bathroom, hey that gives me an idea, before you go to bed drink a ltr of water!  \nI could ask a doc about this though, probably can help you more then a bunch of morons on the net lol
