How to get up for an alpine start without an alarm?

Sometimes, one needs to get up for an alpine start i.e. really, really early, and yet not have a functioning alarm. Cell phones have a tendency to lose the correct time when shut off and then turned back on in an area with no service and watches can break or run out of batteries.
Are there any tips for still getting up really early without an alarm?

There are some things that will help in getting up early without an alarm.
- Drink more water than normal before bed , this ensures that you won't sleep all of the way through the night.
- Try to sleep so that the rising moon/early twilight will shine on you earlier (don't sleep on the west side of a big rock)
- Once, up don't go back to sleep even if that means starting slightly earlier than you had planned.
- Get to bed early.
- If you do this enough times in a short time span, it is possible to approximate the time before sunrise by the position of Venus in the sky.
- Remember that it is important to get up early, and that you can sleep later in the day.
