On a pragmatic note: leave your phone(alarm) on the opposite side of your bedroom or in another room altogether. You will have to physically get up to shut it off and benefit from not using it(and more importantly, thinking about email, work, social network junk, etc...) right before bed and again when you wake up in the am.

I got the point where the alarm would go off, I'd roll out of bed, take two steps, slap the snooze button, two steps and roll back into bed. I learned the hard way that my alarm clock would simply give up after three hours (I must have been particularly tired that day). The best alarm I had was an old cell phone (pre-smart phone days) where the alarm would start off nearly inaudible and slowly get louder over the next minute or so. The gentle nudge awake was much better than a sudden jolt of noise. The only better alarm would be one that is arrhythmic in nature. That's the only type of noise I can't sleep through.
