Recognize time. Keep your watch exact. It may be helpful to set your watch just two minutes ahead. Keep a clock, phone, computer or anything that shows time in each room of your house.
Wake up when you need to. If you have difficulty with this, place your alarm clock to somewhere that you cannot reach from your bed; that way, you have to get up to turn it off. If you can.t get out of bed on time, you may be going to bed too late. Try sleeping earlier to allow yourself at least 7 hours. sleep.
