Best alarm clocks ever

If you have difficulty waking up in the morning, I highly recommend buying a rooster and putting it directly outside your window.  They wake up faithfully before your target time so you won't miss it.  If the rooster doesn't work, I recommend disabling the hot water supply when you go to take a shower.  I guarantee you will wake up, plus you won't waste any time luxuriating in the shower.  Combine both approaches for maximum effect.
