I know what you mean, and the only thing I've found so far to help with getting up is the type of alarm clock that does a sunrise over 30mins or so, as it tells your body to stop your 'sleeping hormones' and kick in the serotonin and all the other systems that you need to wake up. Been using it for four days only, and in those four days I have ACTUALLY woken up before the alarm finallly sounded - to a lovely light in my room, and the feeling of 'aaaah, it's time to wake up' rather than the hideous trauma it usually is (as in, I was having to phone my boss every day to prove I got to work ... going back to sleep is a fine art form that I have perfected).

It's the Natural Alarm Clock at http://www.outsidein.co.uk/index.htm (it's expensive though - but if I can wake up properly and pleasantly instead of in shock, then I say it's worth it!!!) and I promise, I don't work for them!!!

Good luck.
