    Before i had a cell phone, whenever i was stayig somewhere where i didn't have an alarm clock, i would just repeat to myself
    1) what time it currently was
    2) How many hours it was until i needed to wake up
    3) The time i wanted to wake up

    So, for example, i would say to myself "It's 11pm now, i'm going to sleep for 7 hours. i'm going to wake up at 6am" over and over, at least 5-10 times.

    i was amazed how effective it was, though i know i couldn't rely on it all the time. FFS i barely rememebr hitting snooze on my current alarm the 3 or 4 times i do before i wake up.

    Also, kids are a fairly reliable alarm clock.
