I also use another alarm on the other side of the room 3 minutes later for if I went to bed again...I still sometimes wake up, put all the alarms off and go to bed again but not as often :P I think you’re right that the putting it away thing might have some problems in the long run, and your points are true but not that bad.

I used to have my stereo set to play "Its A Beautiful Day" by U2, as my alarm. Should do it again, found it was a really good way to start the day with a smile on the dial ;-) Wow, alarms that simulate the rising of the sun, that sounds pretty cool!

I also got so used to the alarm sound, it programmed by body to wake up as soon as it started.I have heard some good things about the alarms that simulate the rising of the sun.... interested in getting/trying one!

It wakes me up well, but it puts me in a bad mood and I still feel tired. Putting the alarm far away works pretty well, but you do come to hate the sound of the alarm clock.
