Somehow in college I was able to get up, walk through my apartment, turn off my alarm, walk all the way back, and crawl back into bed, all without waking up. (Or, at least, without remembering later.)

The solution, for me, has been getting into a routine where I can consistently fall asleep earlier. Much easier to do now that I'm not pulling late nights all the time.

Likewise. My alarm was a playlist that would play through my speakers under the room's deck. My computer was in top, with the audio and power cables zip secured to prevent easy power loss.

Dang thing would go off, start getting louder (scripted for "gentle" wake-up), and I had to crawl out and onto the deck, log into my computer, and shut it off. ... And it was set to lock itself and start again in 10 minutes.

TL;DR: sleep inertia sucks.

Yeah indeed... maybe you should go to bed earlier :D
