Get up early in the morning hack

I have been using this technique or "trap" as I like to call it for the past three years, and it is great for getting me up on important mornings, when I have a lot of work/study to do, or just if I want to be up early.

Basically what you do is lock a pair of speakers connected to your alarm in a container of some sort (make sure the speakers are loud enough to wake you up, and that you cant plug them out, or muffle them). I use a padlock and small chain, and lock my wardrobe shut.

Then you get the key of the lock, and put it securely under a big rock or something, a five minutes walk away.

Then you set your alarm for whatever time, and then when it wakes you, you have to walk to the place the key is hidden, and back again, then unlock and turn off the alarm, and by the time you are back, you will be a bit awake, and if you have placed the key far enough away you won't want to go back to bed, or will be able to resist the temptation to.

Its simple in theory, but it takes a bit of planning to be able to outwit your desperate to go back to bed, morning self.
