my new student won't wake up!

DC has just started uni in a place far from home, and already has missed several lectures/seminars because of sleeping through them. This is definitely partly due to partying, but also partly due to chronic habits of lateness etc exacerbated by OCD. (I won't go into full psych history but...I could.) I've talked to a kindly person in the student wellbeing office, who explained what support the uni can offer, and we will work on getting more support on the ground in place. But obviously no-one is going to go in and shake DC awake every morning. DC is enthusiastic about the course and is liking being at uni, but is also finding things all a bit overwhelming, and is also staying up late, etc. If this is something your DC has struggled with and if you have found useful or helpful practical strategies to put in place, I would be grateful for any advice, up to and including the most effective wake-up devices to add to the multiple alarms on the phone. Thanks.
