Get a cat. Or two. Feed it a small meal at 9 pm, no later. Starting around 5 am, the cat will begin trying to wake you -- in small ways at first, then by methods more and more dire until you actually get out of bed and feed it. I think I've slept past 7 am maybe twice in the last couple of years. And both times I woke up with an 18-pound Tonkinese standing on my chest and screaming at me.

Cats are more bother than an alarm clock, but they're extremely reliable and not affected by power failures. And if a hungry cat has a snooze button, I've never been able to locate it.
