How to wake up early

I am NOT a morning person. When I was a kid, my mom had to go into my room in combat gear to get me up. I still tend to run late in the morning, due to my tendency to want to squeeze every last minute of precious sleep out of the morning.

Well, when I ran across this site, full of tips on how to wake up early and actually (shudder) enjoy it, I groaned. Here's another fricking morning person trying to convert me to the dark side, I thought. But the tips are actually quite good. My fave: Keep a glass of water by your bed so you wake up inside and out. I think I may try it. But not tomorrow -- Saturday mornings are still sacrosanct in my house.
