Although I agree that it can be stressful, it certainly wakes me up! :D I personally use the method of putting my alarm clock across the room, and it has worked pretty well for me.

Waking up this way doesn't mean you have to be stressed anymore than waking up a different way, ofcourse Ann's idea of good and happy musics helps set the mood. You can see any way of waking up as a chore and also go to bed. What I do is use a alarm on my phone with a random music list, it asks you to solve 10 simple math problems before you can put it off. 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!

I hate it so much that the second it goes off, I literally fly out of bed to turn it off. It wakes me up well, but it puts me in a bad mood and I still feel tired.
