The Best method for waking up?

In the past two weeks, I've learned more about ways to easily wake up. I've learned that using an alarm clock, or a vibrating watch could help you wake up in  the mornings. But the best method to wake up is by waking up naturally. I've learned about myself that I depend on my alarm clocks to wake up, so I don't wake up naturally. A setback I've had is that I need an accurate way to test the time it takes me to wake up. My next steps are finding an accurate way for me to measure how long it takes me to wake up and to look for better ways to wake up. I can apply this knowledge by sharing it with my peers and giving them an easier time in the mornings.
