well as for getting out of bed...I set FIVE ALARM CLOCKS for the EXACT SAME TIME...and since I live in a dormitory with other students, I have to leap out of bed to hurry up and turn them all off (they're placed strategically around my room) before they wake up the whole dorm.
I have two clock radios, my watch alarm, my palm pilot, and a wind-up alarm clock. if they're set for the exact same time, or a minute or so apart, it'll become too bothersome to keep going back to bed just to get up to turn them off.
try that one!
btw, I've perfected that one here at college!
