How do you set your alarm to wake you up in the morning? Radio? Buzzer? Other? Or are you one of those lucky bastards who doesn't need an alarm?

I set a buzzer alarm. When it goes off at 7, I immediately turn on the Today Show, and roll out of bed before Barbara Harrison messes up the news at their 7:26 local news break
Radio only. My beloved uses these godawful buzzing alarms, which have the power to ruin my entire day before I even hit the snooze. I loath the buzzer!
i use my cell phone. its great because when i travel i already have it with me and i'm used to the sound it uses to wake me up. even better my phone has an alarm only setting so no longer am i woken up at 3am by drunken friends calling either.
i no longer need an alarm because my dogs have taken to waking up at 5:30am every day. ninja's winning tactic is to pounce on my sleeping head with her front paws until i finally give in and take them out. there's no going back to sleep after that so i'll usually start working, which, ironically, i do from home.
i wake up to barbra streisand's don't rain on my parade every morning. it's on a continuous loop. i hit the snooze several times until i get to the part where i feel compelled to sing a long for the rest of the song. surprisingly effective and life affirming.
I set my radio alarm clock to conservative christian AM talk shows. I lay there until I become so infuriated that I have to get up just to escape the insanity.
I have one of those sweet moonbeam clocks that wakes you up by flashing light. It's supposed to be a more "natural" way to wake up. But if you sleep through the flashing light for more than five minutes, a really horrible buzzer goes off--which is what I usually wake up to.
Buzzer. With a catch. My alarm clock is on wheels, that are big and soft and meant to take a dive off a night stand. So after one snooze, the alarm will buzz again then take off roaming around my bedroom for me to get up, find and turn off. I hate/love it.

I have a Mexican-speaking maid wake me up with a bloody mary.
DAMN IT! That Andrew kid beat me again! That's 2 days in a row! GRRRRRR!
When I was in the "Model House," my alarm used to be Janice who would yell and kick one of the male models out of my bed...
Andrew and I have the same routine. We sleep together.

Cell phone alarm set for 6:15, with two seven minute snoozes. Then Meg gets up and I sleep for a little longer :)

i need two alarms. radio blares classic rock and five mins later the cell phone across the room starts chirping. i like to sleep.

I wake up when the monkeys at the zoo start screaming at each other. Seriously, fucking monkeys wake me up every day. I hate zoos.

That's because the help shouldn't be sleeping with my models.

Cell phone ring tone set to the theme of Footloose

I use the radio and hit the snooze several times. When I hear my roomate in the shower, I usually realize it's time to wake up.
i got a new phone this week and it has this pleasant chiming noise reminiscent of my childhood days at the buddhist monastery.
what? it is pleasant though.

cell phone alarm, usually about 1-5, 5 minute snoozes.
My clock wakes me up to "Hail to the Redskins." Then I get up and stare at my Clinton Portis poster for about 5 min. before I get ready for work.
The garbage truck...running into everything possible in the alley behind my apartment.
