INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether you already have one or need to buy a new one, an alarm clock is usually a necessity. If it is a digital alarm clock, go to the settings menu for personal preferences on volume, alarm type, and length. With their size and convenience, mobile/cell phones are a great option to use as all come with an alarm function. Set the alarm close to you to ensure adequate volume. Test the alarm several times until you're satisfied it's loud enough to wake you and will work at the correct time. Make sure not to make it too loud if you don't want to wake up others within earshot, but don't make it too quiet so as to render it useless. If you don't have an alarm clock and the default alarm on your mobile phone doesn't meet your needs, there are a number of apps to help you wake up. Read user feedback and customer reviews to get a sense of how each app has served other people and install into your phone, tablet, or desktop. Make sure to check whether the app is free or if it requires a payment. Know what operating system you are using. Some apps may only be compatible with certain versions of an operating system. Make sure to read the entire product description to ensure it works with your computer or tablet. Be cautious of these functions because they can usually be activated when you are half-conscious and instinctively reaching to shut off your alarm. Activating the snooze button too many times can result in either you becoming late or you becoming even more tired. When you hear the first alarm, adrenaline and cortisol trigger a stress response to wake you up immediately so pressing the snooze button suppresses your body's natural functions, leaving you feeling disoriented and groggy. Another important bodily function is urination. Water can wake you up in the middle of the night; however, the amount of water needed for you to do so can only be known through trial and error based on a number of factors including weight and age. Err on the side of caution and either drink enough water that you feel full or test yourself on another night to see what works. Water is great because you are still able to get some sleep unlike if you drank stimulants such as beverages with caffeine or sugar. Even though drinking a lot of water will wake you up, there is no set calculation to determine when you will be getting up. Do not use this method for its precision but rather for its effectiveness. Including everyone will give them a chance to help you get up if they happen to be up too. Moreover, people in your household may hear your alarm if you've overslept and get you up to tend to your responsibility. Whether your friend is a fellow shift worker or joining you in a late-night adventure, a phone call in the middle of the night is very jarring. Keep your phone in close proximity where you know you'll hear it and make sure your ringer is turned on. Test the ringer volume before going to bed to make sure it's adequate and check in with your friend to make sure the plan is still in effect. This method can be rather unreliable depending on the friend you choose. You may also want to offer your friend an incentive to ensure they follow through or pay a calling service instead.

SUMMARY: Set an alarm clock. Set your mobile phone. Use your tablet or computer. Avoid alarm functions like multiple alarms or "snooze" modes. Drink a lot of water before you go to bed. Inform anyone that you are living with of your plans to wake up in the middle of the night -- unless your plan involves surprising them. Ask a friend to give you a wake up call.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A hectic schedule can make volunteering seem intimidating, but you really only need a couple of hours for many volunteer opportunities. For example, you could volunteer at a park or beach clean-up, spend a few hours organizing cans at a food pantry, or spend a weekend working on a habitat house. VolunteerMatch.org, Idealist.org, and HandsOn Network are all good websites to search for volunteer opportunities in your area. When political campaigns are going on, you can volunteer your time to support a local candidate in an election. All campaigns need people to man the phones and help others register to vote. A lot of volunteering organizations aren't going to be picky about how much time you give them. They will appreciate a few hours here and there if you're doing good work. Going back week after week is the best way to get invested in a cause and build relationships with those you are working for and serving. Search online sites like Volunteer Match for recurring tutoring gigs, teaching fellowships, or fundraising positions at local and national organizations. Choose volunteer jobs that take advantage of your talents. For example, if you're musical, you could sing or play at nursing homes. With sports skills, you can coach a sport on a volunteer basis, perhaps working with special needs kids or underserved communities. Call or email local non-profits, working on issues like poverty, homelessness, or animal welfare in your area, and ask if there are ways you can help. Some national organizations, like the YMCA and the Red Cross, consistently need volunteers and are great places to engage with your community. On top of being a great way to give back, volunteering can also give you invaluable experience working in a field or cause you're excited about. Volunteering can also be a good way to see if certain career paths would be a good fit for you. Volunteering in hospitals, for example, could help you decide whether you might in the future want to pursue medicine. It is possible to spend 1-2 years working full-time in a volunteer position. These kinds of positions allow you to make a more sustainable impact on people than once-a-week volunteering jobs. In the Peace Corps, volunteers spend two years in another country, working on a specific sector of development, like education, health, or agriculture. Teach for America is a well recognized volunteer organization in the US, where volunteers spend two years working as teachers in public schools and receive teacher training. To make an impact on a place that is sustainable, it is important to do your research, work with a quality organization, and spend time getting to know a place before you jump in to help. Be wary of "voluntourism," or going to other countries for short periods of time to serve, which sometimes does more harm than good.

SUMMARY:
Find sporadic volunteer opportunities if you have a busy schedule. Find recurring volunteer positions to give back to your community. Inquire about volunteer positions at local non-profits. Serve in a full-time volunteer position, like the Peace Corps.
