That sounds like a terrible idea. Much, MUCH, more so if it is an old NiCad battery or something like that instead of Lithium (Cadmium is insanely toxic).
No it's lithium-ion. I was thinking we build a contraption that can drop it from a distance, than connect the contacts and hold it over the pool until it overheats and explodes, at which point we drop it and see if it continues to burn...
You'll need to figure out some way to make sure lithium hydroxide doesn't give chemical burns to people who use the pool.
we could do it with a cheap plastic pool that we can dispose of afterward...

That's what the byproduct is, thanks; I totally forgot how to do redox reactions. 
Anyway, we're getting slightly off-topic.
Sometimes I sleep at my desk in my nerd-cave, so, technically, the desk and the ghetto-chair-bed become my bed. As such, I can say I sleep with two monitors and a tower

It varies for me. Sometimes it's really comfy, other times it's not. I'm pondering a way to re-rig my nerd-cave so I DO have a more "bed-like" thing to sleep on. My ultimate goal is to never have to get up for anything unrelated to non-sleep bodily functions or class

You could get a Laziboy-type recliner, I suppose...

Hahah 
A La-z-boy wouldn't even fit in my nerd-cave. I'm thinking about stealing the two-seater from the dorm room's main area. Only problem is there's no room for THAT either, unless I move the fridge or the bookshelf. :/
Ah, size is always an issue. I'd love to have a tiny little couch in my room, but like you, I have space constraints.
I have an Alarm Clock app on my Mom's hacked PSP but I haven't used it yet.

That's not bad. I think I need some kind of advanced alarm clock that hooks into my speaker system and requires me to get all the way out of bed to turn it off, though. 
Use a scheduled task on your computer to launch a noisy program that requires you to enter a pin or solve a math or logic problem to close it.

I would indeed do that; the problem is that I don't want to leave my power-hungry, noisy desktop on all night just for that.
AH, but you don't have to. Windows will wake your computer if it's in stand-by to run scheduled tasks..

Oooh, that would be handy! Then I'd be forced to type in my password to log in to turn off the alarm, which would be a good way to force myself to be awake. I'll have to give that a try.
I used to do that all the time, until my parents got annoyed hearing "One minute to auto-destruct" repeated for 10 minutes...

Yeah, my main concern with some kind of speakers/get-out-of-bed system would be annoying my flatmate with whatever sound is persistent and annoying enough to awaken me.
