Yeah it's really hard to get over the snooze button, for me especially, because I'm trying to achieve lucid dreaming, so I focus a lot on sleeping and dreams. But, you really have to have discipline to avoid the snooze button for good.

Having another person that could push you to be productive is actually a very interesting way. I can see that it would work really well, because I go to the gym and my cousin used to go with me not so long ago. We would motivate each other a lot and I would get a better workout than when I'm alone.
