Any one have any tricks to help them wake up at a decent hour?

Today was the last straw! I woke up at 1:15 pm and I am not too happy. My problem is if I don't have somewhere to be at a certain time, then I don't get up, I turn off my alarm and go right back to bed. I have tried having friends call to wake me up, putting my alarm clock across the room, but i just go right back to sleep. I admit that i dont usually fall asleep till late like 2 AM ish but i still hate it. does anyone have any help for me?

PS sleeping meds are not an option, they dont mix well with the ones i take already

Answer:
I've posted this list before but here it's again:
- use energizing music to wake up
- quit smoking
- quit drinking cofee/alcohol before going to sleep
- plan something important to do in the morning
- go to bed earlier
- use multiple alarm clocks, clock-radio, cell phone alarms - all at once
- ask someone to wake you up
- don't - don't eat 2 hours before going to sleep
- start waking up earlier 5 minutes every day
- promise your friends and parents you'll wake up early
- do some exercise or at least some walk during the day
- buy yourself a gift, gadget etc as a bonus after you keep the habit for 1 months, this will help your motivation
- go to bed and wake up at the same time
- don't sleep too long on weekends
- use morning time for your most favorite stuff, hobby etc
- use all the tips listed above at the same time
You're only solution is to go to bed earlier and force yourself to get out of bed!!

I go to sleep at around 3am also and I'm quite a sleeper. When I need to wake up I set two alarms and my phone alarm by my bed. I set them all about 3 minutes apart and by the time I'm done turning them off I'm too awake to sleep. =) Good Luck

Oh yeah adding on. Never turn them off untill your completly awake just snooze them all. It's annoying but it works.
What's worked for me before to "reset" my internal clock is to just stay up the whole night, instead of going to sleep at 1 or 2 in the morning. That way I am exhausted by 8 or 9pm, and can go to bed then, and get up at a decent hour. Reward yourself for getting up with a cheap breakfast at Denny's or something.
This is what my parents do: Open up my curtains and take my covers!!
