I used to do all the tricks that others have mentioned. Setting the clocks fast, set the alarm early so you can hit snooze a jillion times, two or more alarm clocks. Whatever.
Setting the clocks ahead is pretty silly, since you know you did it anyway. Doesn't take long before you're just using up that extra time.
Setting the alarm for a much earlier time than you need just so you can hit snooze? All that you are doing is robbing yourself of those extra minutes of sound sleep. Regardless of how fast you can doze back off. You have still interrupted your sleep cycle, and it will not give you anymore quality rest. Ever fall asleep for 5-10 minutes in the middle of the day? Makes you feel worse when you wake up, than if you hadn't slept at all.
What it came down to was just conditioning myself to get my ass out of bed when the alarm goes off. If you need a few minutes to stretch and collect you rthoughts to wake up, go ahead and hit snooze. But, DON'T LAY BACK DOWN. Sit on the edge of the bed or just stand up and stretch.
