If you want to hate alarms less, use one that starts gradually. You'll learn to wake up even to the slightest of sounds.

(The problem with that is that sometimes you might wake up to sounds other than the alarm.)

Could be a real problem, but this didn't happen to me. My brain recognizes only the specific alarm sound as important. Just make sure you don't use a sound that resembles anything else in the environment.

Yes, when that happened to me I was using a record of birds singing or something like that as the alarm.
