Try using your cell phone as an alarm. Set volume to high, and there's no way you will not wake up
And to Dreamviews!

A cell phone would be a good choice - if the sounds doesnt wake me up, the vibration against the table does

I think it is definately possible to achieve a WILD during the day, it may be harder but you could always try it when napping, its worth a go, it is harder because you have daylight and outside noises which are not normally present at night and it may make things harder for you, however do feel free to try but make sure you get a nice REM period because if you get an earlier REM period you may find it harder.

If your alarm doesn't work I always try altering it just a bit with mine I was so used to the exact tone and time it woke me up that I would subconsciously turn it off before I was fully awake, many times resulting in me waking up 1-2 hours after the designated alarm (missed many classes )

Try setting the volume just a bit softer/louder, or even a few minutes earlier/later, that has worked for me in the past. You could even get a new alarm clock I now have 3 for important days when I desperately need to be up.
