Waking Up.
My alarm wakes me up every morning at 6:00; but I usually hit the snooze button until like 6:40. How can I make myself wakeup and kick the urge to press snooze and go back to bed?

haha me too it usually takes me like 20 minutes for me to wake up but what i would do is set your alarm to a very annoying sound so that you cant stand it and it will wake you up or if you have one of the radio alarms, and put it to your favorite station and you can make it louder so when you wake up you will listen to your favorite station. and when you do wake up you go wash your face with warm water and brush your teeth, that usually gets me up.
or like what everyone else said, try putting your alarm clock somewhere where you would have to get up to shut it off. GOOD LUCK!

Haha I've had the same problem before. What I do is I had to move my alarm clock, so that it forces me to get out of bed.
If you want an extra incentive to not make you hit the snooze, then you should set your alarm so that the radio station it changes to, plays music that you hate. For me, country music.

You can go to sleep earlier.

Try putting your alarm clock further away from your bed, that way you actually have to get out of bed in order to turn it off. That way you will have to wake up enough to get out of bed and turn it off. It may seem a bit inconvient but it should work.

I have this problem too, so what I do now is set my alarm to 5:15, so you can press the snooze button all the time and you'll wake up 45 minutes later....like always...but this time it'll actually be 6! Cool right? Try it, it works.

I do the exact same thing. set your clock to a time that is a while from what the real time is. and when your setting it dont look at it.
and just get up and jump in the shower it wakes you right up.

Heres a few things I do to wake my self up;
oo1. Put the alarm clock on the other side of the room, that way you have to get up to get it to shut off.
oo3. If your alarm clock has two settings, set one for 10minutes EARLIER then the time your supposed to get up, and another one on the time your supposed to get up.
oo4. Set your alarm on a really loud, annoying, beeping noise, that way you'll want to turn it off.
oo5. When your alarm clock goes off, do something to keep you awake. ( Jump up and down, jumping jacks etc. )
oo6. Be sure when your alarm clock goes off, you get up, RIGHT AWAY. Or else you'll continue to sleep in.
:) Hope it works!

hey. i have this problem too, what i find that works is if i turn up my radio really loud in the morning so i am more awake when i get up. also, i kick off all the sheets, cause then i am cold, and i just lay there until i wake up. you can also leave your blinds open at night. that way in the morning it is brighter in your room. you can also go to bed earlier. even a half hour can help. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

You will either find this works for you or doesn't, but it's worth a shot.
At the moment, you have 40 'spare' minutes in your morning routine. You presumably can get up and out of the house at the time you need to having got out of bed at 6:40 rather than 6:00. Because you have this time, you end up pressing the snooze button multiple times.
It is worth trying setting your alarm later. If you are snooze addict, perhaps set it at 6:30 and allow yourself ten extra minutes in bed, but then get up. If you set your alarm later, you are more likely to get up after only one snooze routine because you know that you have to get up then in order to leave the house on time.
This does require a significant amount of willpower, but it might really help you. I used to snooze for half an hour and then take twenty minutes getting up and out of the house. When I realised I only needed twenty minutes to get up, I set my alarm later, enjoyed twenty minutes more undisturbed sleep, and got up immediately as soon as the alarm began to ring, because I knew otherwise I'd only have ten minutes, which wouldn't have been enough time.
Of course it has potential for going wrong if you are the type who'd forget you'd set your alarm earlier or wouldn't get up despite knowing you were running yourself out of time, hence why I said it either would work for you or it wouldn't. Still, it might work for you, so give it a shot - although possibly not on a morning when you desperately need to be on time, as it might be something that needs a little fine-tuning.
All the best.
