No more hitting snooze until you're late. Yes, you.

"It makes my apartment smell like velvety deliciousness first thing in the morning, and I get out of bed to a piping-hot fresh mug of 'Wake up!'" —devikaj

2. ...or just the effects of it.

"When my alarm goes off, I just chug the cold coffee as fast as I can and go back to bed for half an hour. By the time my alarm goes off again, the caffeine has kicked in, and it's a lot easier for me to get my day started." —Katherine Robinson, Facebook

3. Download an app that forces you to get out of bed...

"Just take a picture of something in your house, and once your alarm starts, it won’t stop until you get your ass up and take that picture. You can also set it up to have no snooze option, to get louder the longer it takes you to get up, and to not allow uninstalling. I haven’t woken up late since getting it!" —m4fc7553f6

Get it on iTunes or Google Play.

4. ...or simply rig up multiple alarms.
