Bought this $7 alarm clock [1]. I set it for 7:30, on a stand just outside my bathroom, twenty feet from my bedroom. It's loud, and I'm terrified that my neighbors hate me. I bolt out of bed, run across the kitchen, fumble to turn it off, then stand there and debate with myself on what to do next. The shower is closer, easier. 80% of the time I get in, then stand under the hot water for 15 minutes until I gain consciousness. After a few months, I start waking up a few minutes before my alarm goes off. 1. http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-SPC800-Quartz-Analog-Silver/dp/B004ZKXY7C/ http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-SPC800-Quartz-Analog-Silver/dp/B...
