I have tried! I have three alarm clocks, one of which I hide in out of the way places like inside drawers and behind curtains. Even though I have to get out of bed and become coherent enough to switch it off, I still end up back in bed and asleep
I used to be very good, in bed by 11 and up at 7am. But lots of trips across the Atlantic, working in a bar which meant staying up until 2am or later, and late-night gaming sessions have ruined me.
I want to get back into the habit... but despite reading all the articles on getting up early, that extra 30 minutes or an hour asleep just is too tempting... and now that I work from home, I have no real need to get up early (aside from the fact it makes me feel happier, gives me more time, and makes me more productive).
What can I do? I suppose I need more self-discipline... but I am normally very good at making changes like that. It's just this one habit that seems to have thrown me!
I think it's because when I was young I used to wake up and then go and get in my mothers bed and cuddle her for an hour. I'm trying to recreate it or something :P
