As someone who has struggled with this their entire life and tried absolutely everything, I would have to say that this seems a bit unrealistic. I’m afraid I’m going to have to agree with McFly.

Put it on a timer and bingo when it wakes it’ll trick you’re brain.

Listen doubters if it will work in -34 Alberta darker than dark it’s a sho-in.

All good things, buggers.

Your point 7 is one I completely overlooked - I heard (and can't remember where) that you need to do something every day for 21 days to make it a habit, and getting up early definitely becomes second-nature quickly if you do so every day. Dave Hi Mark,

Thanks for commenting on my related post ( http://www.geek-fitness.com/2007/12/10/defeat-the-snooze-button/#comment-130 ). Your point 7 is one I completely overlooked – I heard (and can’t remember where) that you need to do something every day for 21 days to make it a habit, and getting up early definitely becomes second-nature quickly if you do so every day.

One little trick that really worked for me was setting my snooze period to 2 minutes (as low as it would go) I'm really amazed at how well that has worked.

Just because advice isn't easy, doesn't mean it's "silly." A 30-day schedule is tough, but something to strive for. And number 3 and 5 (smiling, and rewarding) are simple enough to try, though most people have never considered these as part of the wake-up routine. As for me, I don't see Monday through Friday as the "repetitive, predictable" part of my life, I see the weekdays as times for me to work on my goals and my Self. My life is more than weekends.

Your list is silly! You might as well make a list like this: How to Succeed in Business: 1. Tell yourself to succeed 2. Give yourself goals and achieve them. 3. Stick to your plan. 4. Make lots of money. Sure, it would work, but it's a good deal trickier in the execution, isn't it? If I had a robot friend, he could commit to a non-negotiable 30-day plan, but I'm not so sure humans work like that. After all, staying up late and being involved with weekend craziness is why we put up with the repetitive predictability of the week, is it not? Fooey!
