Right now I'm "semi retired" so my alarm clock is my 22 month year old son shouting at us through the baby monitor.
When I was working, my trick was this:
I made a stack of stuff on top of my alarm clock (my iPhone) by my bed in the morning, and kept it far enough away from me that I couldn't just slap it. On top of it, I put my work out clothing and my running shoes.
I also make sure that the alarm clock is loud enough to scare me awake as the adrenaline dump into the system makes it impossible to fall asleep. My wife wears earplugs.
First thing I do is run, usually a 5k or 10k run in the morning depending. It helps clear the head, and I'm awake for the day.
Right now I run at night, which makes me wired, but I find showering and benadryl takes care of that. And also the 22 month old that I'm now home with every day.
