Question:

Any one have any tricks to help them wake up at a decent hour?

Today was the last straw! I woke up at 1:15 pm and I am not too happy. My problem is if I don't have somewhere to be at a certain time, then I don't get up, I turn off my alarm and go right back to bed. I have tried having friends call to wake me up, putting my alarm clock across the room, but i just go right back to sleep. I admit that i dont usually fall asleep till late like 2 AM ish but i still hate it. does anyone have any help for me?

PS sleeping meds are not an option, they dont mix well with the ones i take already
