Every night before I go to bed, I tell to myself that I want to get up at 6 am and then I IMAGINE (YES, JUST IMAGINE) my alarm turns on at 6 am but the alarm makes me get out of my bed feeling enthusiastic as I have time to see and play with my baby before I go to work at 8 am. It really works for me. Now, I enjoy getting up at 6 am in the morning. In addition, you also have to set up a condition which help you to get up on time. It has been mentioned above by Ali, such as put your alarm across the room, let the sunshine enter the room in the morning, automatically switch off your Air Conditioner at 5 am, etc. SO, before you go to sleep, please "install" the right emotion into your brain and set up the necessary conditions which help you to get up on time. I found this great tip here http://tinyurl.com/successwithnlp-adamkhoo - Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny : a personal success system for you to follow and create the results you deserve and want in life. Hope that this tip is useful for all of you too. Hi everybody, I want to share my tip on waking up on time in the morning feeling enthusiastic.

For years I had to get up at irregular hours (shift work), sometimes 4am. I relied on alarm clocks, on occasions using two or three alarm clocks leading me into the bathroom! Now I have a bit more control and have discovered I naturally sleep exactly 8 hours every night. I have a set routine to go to bed and one to wake up. However, the challenge is to go to bed exactly 8 hours before I need to get up! I think you may have given me the answer: as I don't need the alarm clock to get up, I can set it to go to bed. Or at least a little before: I will see what works. A great idea, thank you. Another interesting post, Ali.

I have found as soon as I realize what I have just done I am out of bed and awake. I must admit it is a bit shocking but it has been working for the last 4 days. Hope this helps someone.

I AM a morning person (I get my best creative/productive work done before lunch) so for me, the morning hours matter. It's not right for everyone, though. Hopefully, my tips apply whether you want to get up at 5am or 10am -- it's just about getting out of bed at the time YOU want to! Eduard, that’s fab too!

Just do what works for your body and go with it. I also like to wake up naturally. no alarms. Just when my body naturally wakes up.

It starts playing softly and gradually increases the volume. That way I'm waking up far more relaxed (and much more awake). It actually takes away the desire to snooze. Don't think too much and go to bed early are also tips that work excellent for me. I found many of these tips on http://www.howtowakeupearly.com/ before, they have helped me a lot.

I have a big problem getting out of bed. I solved a big part of it though. How? I realized I'm not a morning person and adapted. I stared working till later and waking up later. And even if I get the same number of hours of sleep, now it's easier for me to get out of bed if it's 10 instead of 7:30. Eduard Thanks. I have a big problem getting out of bed.

Besides that switching on the radio as well helps too. I find that in that case it is quite safe to take some ten or so minutes to get really awake as the light and sound prevents me from falling asleep again.
