<p>Would a Raspberry Pi work for this?
Or maybe one of those android robots?</p>

<p>I don't wake up at a certain time everyday its totally random, so I cant use a Timer I need a sensor that will sense if i'm awake.
Please email me if you think the same as me.</p>

This guy on twitter @alhazmy13 has done it. I think he uses Arduino. Go ask him :).

Watch the animated short "The Wrong Trousers."  Maybe you can pick up some points from Wallace.  Or a younger sibling (aka slave) might be an alternative.

@Allen -- If this is a serious question, have you considered other non-robot options such as suggested in answers below?

@hoc_age https://twitter.com/alhazmy13  Here is the guy's account on twitter. I'm not sure if he has documented what he did. You can ask him personally and he might help. Good luck.
