robbar,
I can Identify with you on waking up, I’m the same way! What I found worked for me (for Awhile). Was to take an ‘Electric Back-Massager’ , ones that vibrates!! (Not twists) And plug it into a ‘timer‘. You know, (a light timer that when your on vacation. It turns your lights on and off for security.)
Set your time to wake up, on the ‘timer unit’ and plug your ‘massager’ into it. Then place the massager under your pillow. *Note* DO make sure to tape-up or cover-up the power switch on the massager. So that you Can’t turn off the power, under your pillow in your sleep. I used ‘rolled gauze’ (that’s used to wrap an injured wrist or ankle) because you can wrap it tight and thick, super thick as to not be able to switch it off. Also…. Make it so you have to turn the power off, by the Switch ,on the ‘Timer Unit’ in the Wall. That might help you to get up for awhile. You can also plug in anything else that might help in Addition to the massager. Like a light, TV, fan, coffee maker etc….. (but don’t put theses things under your pillow) he he he just kidding!

P.S. If your like me and would just want to put the cord out of the wall to turn it off instead.
Plug-in the unit in far away from you. Use an extra, extra long extension cord. (like the Orange kind, for outdoors) and keep all the extra slack by the wall unit. So that if you are trying to pull it out of the wall. You would have to pull for a long time, or it would take more energy, then just getting up to turn it off.
Well, I hope that works for you. Good Luck! Cheers!
