Get someone to sleep in the same room with you for a night. Buy a very cheap but very loud used alarm (if you can find it, one of those big round ones with the bells works really well). Set it by your companion for the time your problem alarm is usually set. When the alarm goes off, have your companion yell obscenities and throw it real hard against a wall so it breaks into a bunch of big pieces. I guarantee that you'll wake up, be in a good mood, and maybe, just maybe in the process completely realign what is haywire. Shock Therapy. Get someone to sleep in the same room with you for a night.

Maybe I should let my internal clock worry about waking me up and get up when I wake up between cycles.

Set it for when you really need to be up. Tell your subconcious-mind that this is your only alarm and there is no alternative to getting up right then. No excuses!! You should set only one alarm.

If I don't wake up scrambling around trying to shut off 20 alarms, I think I'm doomed.

The extra-closeness is good for extra-loudness and it may just surprise you enough to wake up! I also recommend a 2nd alarm. This one should be placed as far away as possible.
