How to Make Waking Up Early a Habit

How to wake up early; condition yourself to get up when the alarm goes off. Don't try and use discipline, willpower or self-talk. Don't think - just do it. This means that you have to condition yourself to do this before actually being in the situation of having to get up after a night's sleep.

What sounds more efficient and fool-proof - an elaborate ruse to get yourself to get moving, an elaborate internal motivational speech, an elaborate alarm clock ritual - or to simply to make it a "reflex", side-stepping inefficient and high-maintenance things like motivation, willpower and morning rituals.
