People who do this are conditioning themselves to have this experience.
Test this on your days off at first until you are confident: Set one alarm at or around the time you would like to wake up. Fall asleep no less than 6 hours before that alarm is supposed to go off. Set your snooze delay to as low as it goes (mine is 1 minute). Attempt to wake up at first alarm, press snooze if not (the shorter delay will make closing your eyes a waste of time since another alarm is now only 40 seconds~ away, not enough time to make it worth it). Do this until you are able to sit up in bed at the first alarm. Rinse repeat.
Nowadays Ive trained my internal clock to wake up a few minutes before my alarm goes off.
YRMV.
One does not simply fall asleep (insert Borimir picture)
I only put my alarm at 5min intervals if i wanna take it slow but need to wake up. But when i slept well i never need more than two. Sometimes I can even wake up before the first one. It's for when i'm tired that it can be useful, and that can be easily fixed by not being stupid...
Now if i don't need to wake up, I sometimes make them 15min or 30min apart so i can continue a bit of dreaming between each alarm without falling asleep for 2 more hours.
Another way to try and retrain your brain, that can be done whenever, is to set a 5 minute timer and go lay in your bed. Don't even close your eyes, just lay there. Then, when the alarm sounds, get up and continue your day. The purpose is to connect the sound of the alarm to the act of getting out of bed.
