I'm not an early person, and similarly to some other posters I do have a history of abusing snooze button into oblivion.

What I found out worked for me was a bus. At some point a few years ago I decided it is good for my day routine to have a desk outside of my flat. I found reasonably priced desks 10 minutes on the bus from where I live (this was 10 minutes before rush hours so I had to catch early bus, otherwise this trip was taking 30 minutes). I wanted to start early so I could finish early - and so I wanted to catch early bus which was going every 15 minutes. First few times I was literally 30 seconds too late and had to wait 15 minutes for another bus to come, this made me to avoid hitting snooze because I did not want to waste 15 minutes standing on the bus stop.
