Hello,
Many of us have this problem, really.
What I have learned to do is set the alarm far away from me, I have to get up to shut it off.
Step two when this stopped working i left it there, but turned it to nothing but dead air.
When that stopped working I set it to go off two times, and set it to beeping, set on the highest volume setting.
This works most of the time, it wakes the whole house but when this does not wake me some one will yell at me to wake me never touching the alarm clock, never touching me for I guess I hit first and questions later? So I am told?
I no someone who rigged up his car battery to a very loud car horn and this is how it woke him and the neighborhood up (cops were called on him several times but he never got in trouble for it) .
Who has money to go to a sleep doctor?
Wish you a good nights sleep...
ADD,
aww :( many of us do fall back to sleep!! I can not go to sit down moves for I will sleep through them! Anything to do with sitting and I am asleep...... :0(
If you can and it is really bad try a doctor?
MOVE YOUR ALARM CLOCK WHERE YOU CANT TURN IT OFF UNLESS YOU HAVE TO GET UP TO TURN IT OFF AS FAR AS IT NOT BEING LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE YOU UP I DUNNO
well if u live with any1 else get someone to wake u up, also what i have to do is put my alarm further away from my bed so i actually have to get up and walk to the alarm to turn it off...that way u cant just hit it and fall bak to sleep quickly
Get a really loud alarm and put it across the room away from your bed. That way when you wake up, you have to get up and walk across the room to get up.
I think there are certain alarm clocks that like vibrate your bed at a set time ad thatl probably work.

go to that
Get a new alarm. Or, move the clock to somewhere in the room that you'd have to walk to to turn off. That way, you won't just instantly fall asleep.
maybe u should buy a new one...or u could just put batteries in it.. matters on how ur been using it have u dropped it or something like that!!!g2g
Try church bells. Have them installed in your house, then employ someone to ring them for you. If that does'nt work then u can consider urself deaf.
ha ha ha I HATE this problem! But I'm glad someone else has it too! Yeah, I would try going to a store and buying a new one and try and get the one that boasts that it's the loudest - and put it across the room - but more importantly go to bed earlier - it will help you wake up easier, and try to not press the snooze - I know it sounds crazy but if you get up the first time your alarm clock goes off and start getting ready you are much more refreshed than if you press the snooze!
try to get a louder to see if that will wake u up mybe its the alarm try to get an alarm clock that has a different alarm and still loud.
Perhaps your not waking up to your alarm clock because you aren't getting enough sleep. Maybe you could go to bed a little earlier, or put your alarm clock across the room, that way you would have to get out of bed to turn it off. That is what I have to do! Just don't lay back down after you turn it off! Hope this helps!
Don't use music, get the most annoying sounding alarm, put it on the other side of the room and you will get up. One other thing, if you get up and turn the alarm off, then go back to bed, you really aren't serious about wanting to get up.
hey seems like you might be sleeping a awful lot than required.. but of course different people require different amounts of sleep.. but it should always be between 6-8 hours.. anything outside this is bad for you!! you should neither sleep less nor sleep more.. you might consider planning what you are going to do after you wake up and start doing that thing! maybe start your day with an exercise! and when the alarm rings be determined to wake up or do not keep the alarm at all! its like this you keep the alarm only if you are really going to wake up at that time or do not keep the alarm at all!
put it on the other side of your room and put it as loud as it goes that way you have to get up to turn it off
I'm having the same problem, so here is how I solved the problem. I have two alarms and neither is close enough to the bed for me to reach without getting up. I live in Indiana and we were not used to having to set our clocks up for the time change. I was getting up when it was light outside, now it's dark again. I think that really messes you up. Good luck.
I have the same problem. It doesnt matter if the alarm is across the room or next to me. It doesnt matter if I get 6 hours or 10 hours. I just hate to wake up.
I think our alarms are no longer waking us up because after the brain gets accostomed to a sound, it tends to tune it out. When my alarm goes off, the sound just becomes part of my dream.
So I have started using my cell phone as my alarm clock. I can set up to 3 alarm times. So if I want to get up at 7am but NEED to be up by 8am, I set the phone to go off at 7, 7:30, and 8. For each time I select a different alarm sound, so my brain doesnt tune it out. It has been working for me.
ADD: I also sometimes use the vibrate option and keep the phone in the bed with me. Vibration has never failed to wake me.
BTW Vineet, I saw an article that says people that get 7.5-9 hours of sleep are less prone to be obese.
