If Carl is anything like me (and it sounds like he is in this case), alarm on the other side of the room does not help at all. We just turn it off and go back to the bed. Also, light helps only slightly. I can snooze through light very easily.

If we can make it to the shower, then yeah we will wake up. But it's far easier to go back to the bed than to go into the shower This is our problem in the first place!!
