Great advice, this sounds like a smarter and happier way to wake up, mainly the sound!  |
I hope this method helps you out!
I bet you could jump in the shower instead of work out -- as long as it's an activity that takes 20 minutes so that you're not tempted to fall back asleep!
Also, I not only visualized getting up -- I actually laid down and got comfy, set the alarm to go off in the next minute, then when it went off, I turned it off, stretched, and physically got up. I did this 3-5 times before going to bed... even though I felt like quite a geek doing it.
And yes, the sound of the ringtone I decided to use as an alarm is very nice -- peaceful but upbeat! No ear-splitting BEEP BEEP BEEPs.
