Another approach : have kids. You can forget about ever waking up late again :-)

We're progressively teaching our son (3yo) to stay in bed in the morning during the week-end, and it's actually working great.

One thing I found as well is that it's easier for me to put an alarm clock slightly before he wakes up, vs. being woken up by him!

This "new experiment" is on the pipeline for the end off the year :D
I find that making myself wake up >1hr before my kids is a giant boon to my happiness/productivity. All bets are off if one of them didn't sleep through the night for some reason, though.
Hm, my kids are the same as me: they get up late as well. And if the oldest wakes me up early I just tell her to go back to bed or her chamber since I want to sleep some more.
That's improved my ability to get up early - if I want to get something done in the morning or just get some quiet time to myself, I have to do it before the boy wakes.
