A Practical Question

:-P wonderful question :-P

i have a lot of kids....and Ive tried this myself...and when the alarm clock goes of....that alone start with God as it was planed has become me at breakfast table with three kids wanting breakfast and one tired dad....

When I didn't have anything to wake me up.
I would go to bed before 10pm. and pray God would wake me up. and you know it worked. only when I went to bed before 10pm. There has been many times I have ask God to get me and He will.
But we have do our part to, by going to bed on time. Do you have a cell phone? you should set it and put it under pillow, that has help for me sometimes

Set your clock about 10min earlier for your desired study time, if you stay disciplined for about a month or two (you’ll have to roll with the punches when the kids awake) but after that set your clock 10 minutes later, and you'll be surprised how many times you'll awake right before you alarm goes off.
Probably not the quick fix you were looking for, but it often works for me

I have heard that some of the puritans deprived themselves of luxury items such as warm covers etc.. So they would awake often for their morning prayers.

Try an alarm clock with headphones. :-)

I don't know how well you would sleep with them though!

A vibrating wristwatch will do the trick, just do a search on the web.

I know that some men of old would be up at about 4 in the morning sometimes in order to pray, and have been wondering how they got themselves up before alarm clocks were invented?!

Never thought of that, it does make me curious how they did it. Maybe they trained a rooster?

Maybe you can get a plug in timer and a high voltage cunstructionsite light, set the timer aim the light at your face and the light and heat should wake you up 8-)

Just tell yourself before you go to bed what time to wake up. Look at the clock and envision the time you want to wake up. Repeat this in your head. Go to sleep and you will wake up at that time, at least it works for me and nearly everyone who doesn't have an alarm clock.
