My name is Cali, and I've been told I am a good advice-giver.

...and I have lost long ago....

This is probably a random (and obvious) question...
I guess I'm mainly looking for feedback.

I am a snooze-junky. I press the snooze button, sometimes several times each morning, and lie in bed in a daze (often snoozing away), until the alarm rings again (in which case, I am likely to press snooze again). I don't know what to do to discipline myself. I set my alarm (cell phone) on a high volume, with the most annoying ring tone known to man, and all I do is hit snooze, fall back asleep, hit snooze again...and finally wake up when I absolutely HAVE to (as in, I have to rush to get ready & out the door).

This has been going on for a long time. I always tell myself that the next day will be different; that I will get up the FIRST time that my alarm goes off, and not the fifth. As you can tell, I am not an early bird, so I just make excuses and fall back asleep. I would say that this rates among my worst habits.

For anyone who does the same (or has at some point in the past), what do you do to just get out of bed and ditch the habit of pressing snooze? Any feedback or tips on getting up at the alarm?
Thanks!!

You can always go to bed earlier. Another thing you could do is place your alarm clock somewhere in the room that you will still hear it but have to get up to turn off. Before you turn it off, go ahead and turn the light on so that you'll be more awake. Try to avoid lying back down on the bed after you've already gotten up.

(Rating: 5) I think the worst thing is that I have a habit of getting back into bed after waking up...I'll have to put my alarm clock way on the other side of the room
