Like the title says, what gets you outa bed in the morning?

I currently have a very flexible schedule and can work just about anytime, night or day. As a result I find myself sleeping through most of the day, awake most of the night and working when I feel like it.

I've always had a strange sleep schedule and when working a 'normal' job; I would find it necessary to stay up all night, one day a month, to reset my sleep schedule. Otherwise I would just stay up later and later until I was going to sleep a dawn. I've always been like this, even as a kid.

To compound the issue; several years ago I read an article in either Nova or Discover Magazine about Dream States, Dream Control and Visualization; From which, I learned to control and manipulate my dreams. I'm sure I don't have to tell you just how freakin' cool it is to have your own little world and be able to manipulate it. It's incredibly therapeutic to be able to exercise your will in a free flow state of mind, think meditation to the Nth degree, while living in a world where control is mostly and illusion. And it works as an extremely effective problem solving method. Unfortunately REM state occurs when transitioning between sleep states, going deeper into or coming out of a deep sleep. For me this occurs most often around 4 or 5 am, and can continue for several hours on and off. As a result I ignore my alarm and sleep later in the day.

Since I've never had a grasp on waking and getting up early, I'm looking to you, my fellow TFPer's, for a potential solution. So, what get's you out of bed?
