Alarms clocks don't wake one up, they just destroy the quality of sleep.

I've got to agree. Alarm clocks are an attempt at a technological solution to a sociological problem. If you're using one other than to get up extra-early on special occasions (catching flights etc), and in particular if you're using one every workday, then you are probably chronically sleep-deprived, and getting you a bigger alarm clock is like getting a drunkard a bigger gin-bottle. Go to bed earlier!

Does it count if I have the magical ability to always wake up 2 to 5 minutes before my alarm goes off?

But seriously, as someone in their mid-twenties, my sleep schedule is so erratic, there's no way I'd be able to train my body to do get up at a regular time. I also have a late shift every third week of work (11:30 to 8), which would make it even more difficult.
