Has anyone discussed this little tiny thing in your mind called self-discipline?

First: Setting your clock ahead does not work. Your conscious will rationally tell your lazy ass that the real time is X-minutes early, and thus allowing yourself to keep snoozing.

Second: Setting multiple alarms gives your lazy ass permission to miss the first (and subsequent) alarms.

Third: If you are still tired in the morning, GO TO BED EARLY. Who says you have to go to bed at a certain time? Try this experiment for one day, just ONE:

Go to bed 90 minutes early tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, remember that feeling. How was it? Good? Then you now realize that you have been consistently tired, possibly your whole adult life.

Why an alarm clock? The use of said device tells me that you have a schedule to keep in the morning... there is a possibility that you may be late. Unless you have a schedule at night (very rare, and dangerous to have your schedule stack around your sleep time) then you are able to quickly change this in your favour.

You could always do what I do: join the army and have the pleasant feeling of a heart attack every morning when reveille sounds.
