How can you make sure you wake up in the morning?

Question:

I'm in college, and I work two jobs, and I have to wake up every morning at 7:30 for class. Trouble is I sleep through my two alarms, and it's starting to weigh down my grades! I've even had to make fake doctors notes for it! So anyone got any suggestions?

Answers:
I kinda had this problem when I was in my last year of college. I worked a full and part time job and was a full time student. I was able to wake up in the morning with my clock. On those days I didn't I had a roommate, friend and family help me out. My mother called me. My roommate would scream at me and my friend came over to drag me outta bed. If you have someone around to lend a helping hand try asking for a wake up from someone. Make sure they are dependable and will do it. You also have to think about how much you have on your plate. You may want to think about stress, sleep deprevation and health. Your body is telling you something if you can't get up after two alarms. At the end of my semester I had to quiet my part-time job to give me extra sleep. It helped me out by getting me through and I made to the finish line. You might want to stop the fake doctors notes. You never know when one of your professor's might check up on it. Also don't go the wrong route of taking pills to help you sleep or stay awake. The effects are not healthy.

I use my cell phone as my alarm clock. With it right next to my head, it's hard to sleep through it. As hard as it may be with school and two jobs, you need to try to get as much rest as possible. If you are constantly going to be 4 or 5 hours before you wake up, you're going to have a really hard time waking up because your body wants and requires more sleep than you're giving it. If you are getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep and this problem is still happening, you may want to go see your doctor because this can be signs of many ailments including depression and thyroid problems. Best of luck to you!

get a very loud alarm and place it on the other side of your bedroom so you have to get out of bed to shut it off.

Do you have any roommates that can come wake you up?! Dump cold water on you?!

have someone call you to wake you up. or put ur alarm out of reach so you have to get up to shut it off.

I use my cellphone and set it to alarm at least 10 times. I also put it at its highest sound level. Hope this could work with you.

My alarm clock makes the most annoying sound, my advise is to first find one that would irritate the hell out of you and put across the room so you have to get out of bed to turn it off.

I love this Progressive Alarm clock! It wakes you up more naturally, using light, scent & sound.

i suggest try sleeping with the alarm close to your ear like if u have a nite stand stick it right there close to your bed! also get as much rest as u can! try taking naps threw out the day between classes or between work! if all else fails try just having one job!
