I'm a big believer in not using an alarm to wake up. The body will naturally wake when it's done. What happens if you go to bed when you're tired and wake up when you're done sleeping? I find I get the best rest when I just listen to my body.
For those who are REALLY addicted to their morning cuddle time, this doesn't work so well!

The only thing that ever worked for me was practicing getting up with my alarm every night before bed, and sticking to a strict workout schedule first thing after I got up. I don't have very good willpower, so momentum was the only thing that kept me from getting back beneath the covers.
