Here are suggestions, I have a friend whom has the same problem, so maybe I can help you.

1) Try having another person, if you are not living alone, wake you up.

2) If the alarm does happen to wake you up, as soon as you wake, turn on a lamp (if you do not have one, keep one right beside your bed).

3) Do not drink any caffeine or eat anything heavy the night before, sometimes that will mess with you in the morning.

Have someone come in and turn on your light with your alarm clock, and have the clock on the other side of the room really loud. Maybe use multiple (cell phones have alarms and so do some Ipods) and have them all on different parts of the room.
If you're still having problems, let me know. Good luck.

I have the same problem. Try moving your alarm to the other side of the room, and turning the volume up LOUD. That usually works for me.

I have trouble waking up in the morning, too. I can only tell you what I do, because I haven't been late to anything yet this year...
* I use my cell phone as an alarm, and I put a bunch of metal songs on it (Disturbed, Metallica, Slipknot, etc), and I set it to play those random songs. Not the most pleasant way to wake up, but it works...

* My mom is awake much earlier than I am, so I ask her to call me about an hour before I have to leave. Answering the phone forces me to function, and eventually, it helps wake me up. I don't live with my parents anymore, either, so it gives us a chance to catch up when we're both free.

* There are alarms out there (try www.thinkgeek.com) that you have to chase around for a couple of minutes, or that make you solve a math problem before they'll turn off, or something. Those would get you moving, AND get your brain working. I'm not sure how much money you want to spend, but that site is generally pretty reasonable.

Hope these gave you a couple of ideas, good luck!

if you have a cd player/radio with good bass with an alarm built in then use this!! if not i would recomend buying one!...i use mine to gte up in the morning and it is SOOOOO loud that nothing could sleep through it! makes you jump though lol...but trust me its worth not being late for school/work....you set the alarm on the cd player and choose the radio station you want and the radio will go off full blast when its time to get up
