I can't wake up early

Hi everyone, this isn't a self-promotional post, I just wanted to know if I'm the only one having this problem or if it's common.

I can't wake up early. I always wake up between 11 AM and 12 AM. I'd really like to do it and succeed, but I can't... every time I set my alarm early, I turn it off, and even if I manage to wake up one day, the next day I can't...

So, to solve this problem of mine, I'm building a product.

I can't spoil the details of how the product works yet, but just know that it's an alarm that completely removes the responsibility of waking up early from the person.

The alarm takes full responsibility... the only thing you have to do is decide to get the product and set it just once, after which you'll be forced to wake up early... you'll no longer have a choice. When the alarm goes off and you curse the day you set it, you'll no longer be able to decide not to get up... you'll be forced (up to a certain point) to get out of bed.

Imagine if starting tomorrow you could make a deal with the army to send an army general to your house who would wake you up every morning. And once you've sent the general to your house, you can't send him away. If you want to send him away, you'll have to go to the army and convince them somehow.

What do you think? How many of you would find this product useful if it gave you a guarantee that starting tomorrow you'd start waking up early?
