<p>So right now my senior year's about to end.
And I'm the deepest sleeper I know.
I can have five alarmclocks set up and I won't wake up.
Sometimes, I used to be able to wake up to phonecalls and stuff, but now I don't know.
I have orientation in about two months and I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up for it and stuff.</p>
<p>Does anybody have any tips on waking up yourself if you're a deep sleeper?</p>
<p>Either get someone else to help you, or get an alarm that works. Mine doesn’t always, I used to have a motorola set on “Interlude” which for those who knew the alarm-ring, it was enough to wake the dead.</p>
<p>You wake up feeling like your soul is screaming at you but… you wake up</p>
<p>Get a twin-bell alarm clock. Those things are horrendously loud, so if it doesn’t wake you up, it’ll certainly wake your roommate/hallmates up and annoy them enough to pound on your door until you roll out of bed.</p>
<p>Just think of it this way. If you don’t wake up, you can’t have your bowl of cereal or catch the bus to see your friends. And the next thing you know, it’s Saturday. Here’s what to do. The night before, just keep telling yourself that you’re P Diddy. You’ll be so awake the next day that when you leave that night, you won’t be coming back.</p>
<p>Edit: ^dang it, cross-posted… ah well, great minds think alike I suppose</p>
<p>gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal!
seein’ everything, the time is goin’, tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’! </p>
<p>Sorry, couldn’t resist…</p>
<p>Anyway, this guy in my hall had a similar problem at the beginning of the year and bought a product called the Sonic Bomb alarm clock… the thing is loud as HELL. It vibrates his entire bed and the sound is so loud that I’m often woken up by it. It emits an extremely loud screeching noise and shakes everything until you wake up and turn it off. It’s awful but I think it would work.</p>
<p>Try getting more sleep. Its easier to wake up if you get more sleep.</p>
<p>My first thought is that I need to get fresh, so I wake up. Usually at about 7</p>
<p>My mom used to put my alarm across the room in a big metal pot. It makes it echo.</p>
<p>I have atendency to wake up enough to turn off my alarm before I am awake enough to realize that it’s time to get up. So I make it a point to actually listen to my alarm for a minute before I shut it off and let it wake me up. And I set at least one back up alarm. If I know I’m not going to wake up in the morning sometimes I’ll drink a lot of water so I’ll have to pee when I wake up or sleep on the couch so I won’t be too comfortable to want to get up. Pathetic, but it’s what I have to do sometimes.</p>
<p>Don’t sign up for morning classes. </p>
<p>Besides, you definitely want to get to your classes early. That way you can decide if you want to sit in the front, or kick it in the back.</p>
<p>Which seat should he take?</p>
<p>I have my phone going off every five minutes for twenty minutes.
Even if it doesn’t wake me up completely, at least it doesn’t let me go back to sleep.</p>
<p>feeling like p didddy?</p>
<p>some schools have student-run businesses. See if your school has one geared to waking kids up on campus (I’m sure you aren’t the only kid with this issue!)</p>
<p>If your school does not have a student-run business for waking kids up - start the business on your own. As owner of the business, you’ll hire students who can wake up, and they’ll wake you up (as you’re the company’s president)</p>
<p>I’m glad that the references started before I posted, but a friend of my set “Friday” as her alarm. She gets up now.</p>
<p>Noooo Constable said it first! lol</p>
<p>Well, you better figure SOMETHING out, or you’ll never have a job for more than a week.</p>
<p>Get a deaf person alarm clock.</p>
<p>But eh… I’ve never had that problem. I’ve been getting myself up and ready for school on my own since I was seven. I’m amazed at how many of my friends still have their parents wake them up for school. o.O</p>

This is A++++ highly highly recommended will wake anybody up. That’s your problem right? Waking up? This will wake you up. HOWEVER, it won’t keep you up. Remember, even if you can wake up at 8am, that doesn’t mean you’ll get up. Nothing can help you get up. That’s a personal problem</p>
<p>^The problem I have with that alarm is that it startles me so bad that I faint. Seriously. I bought it for my boyfriend and I have to make him turn it off when we’re together.</p>
<p>Really? How? You’re not using it… The name is a misnomer. It’s not for waking up everyone on the entire floor, but rather waking up the single person using it WITHOUT disturbing anyone else. It’s for people who can’t wake up with quiet alarms. He should use the vibration alarm only… put it under the pillow…it’s powerful enough to wake up a person silently</p>
