Wake up in the mornin'



(sorry for the trying to sound like ke$ha title i'm just in one of those moods)
anyway, what this post is REALLY about is my brother's problem with waking up in the morning
you see, ever since he started secondary school, he's expected to wake up by himself instead of my mum waking him up
this is also because his school is in (Oh my goodness) sembawang and so he has to wake up a 6 o clock to get the early train to school
So, my dad bought Tim his very own beepity beep alarm clock from Ikea, and Tim faithfully sets it for 6 every morning
But
when morning comes and his alarm clock sounds, he doesn't wake up
and the terrible thing is, I do.
So i'm lying there semi conscious, hearing this annoying beepity beep noise repeat itself over and over, and trying to will Tim to get up and shut it off
Usually he either
1) takes and AGE to get up and switch it off
2) doesn't wake up for so long that my mum comes to shut the infernal noise off
3) gets pushed/shoved/hit by a very grumpy half awake me and wakes up and turns it off (i promise this only happened once)
well
i suppose i am partly to blame for this problem
because i used to use and alarm clock when Tim didn't have to wake up at 6 o clock.
and so when my alarm went off, he could continue sleeping
And so while i blundered about in the mornings getting ready and stuff, he'd not hear a thing because he'd train himself to block out the sound so he could keep his precious 30 more minutes of sleep
and so i have made him immune to alarm clock noises
and now karma has worked it;s evil magic and i suffer in the mornings because of it
so please, do any of you have any suggestions on how to wake him up, aside from using beepity beep alarm clocks?
