Here are some tips that have worked for me:

* Keep the coffee machine in the bedroom. Before going to bed, load it up with water and coffee put the alarm clock next to it. Also have a cup and some milk next to it. Next morning, when the clock goes off, you're going to have to walk over there anyway so you might as well turn on the coffee machine. Now you can go back to dozing off but after a few minutes, the scent and prospect of the readily available coffee should make getting up much easier, plus you can sip the coffee in bed.

* Count to ten, and get up on ten.

* Take melatonin the night before to go to sleep on time in the first place.

* Log your sleeping hours to get an idea of what irregular or overlong sleep is costing you in terms of time.
