The alarm that goes off in the early morning because it means that I'm alive

That just doesn't sound appropriate. It's as if you're saying, the alarm means I have to live through another day which I'll hate, but it's still better than not living at all, and that's the best thing I can find to be happy about every morning!

You might as well say: I'm glad I'm sick, because that means I'm not dead yet.
