Generally I am awake before the alarm goes off. But for the times I'm not I use a gentle alarm sound and get up within 5 minutes of it waking me. My wife prefers the snooze feature so when she has to rise before me I tend to rise 15 minutes before her.

My son, now 20, needs 15 separate alarms to get his butt going. That's the price paid for staying up until 3 AM doing homework last minute and/or goofing around on social media.
