Bad news folks. Alarm went off as planned, but it's Saturday and I made all sorts of excuses to stay in bed a bit longer. Ended up staying an extra hour or so. Still, to only last a day is disappointing. The problem was that because it was the weekend, I didn't feel under too much pressure to get up. Maybe I need to include some sort of incentive/motivation in the process. I am going to move on to my second idea (2 alarm clocks), but I have modified the idea since in light of today's events:
One alarm set on my phone at 8-40, with the message "Maximum 20 Minutes Left"
Then another at 9-00am with the message "You should already be up, get up NOW".
I will report back on Monday after the first use of the new system.
