I know it's time to get up because I wake up, and usually even if I keep dozing off for bits, I will eventually really wake up and realize I'm awake and get bored just laying in bed. That process happens faster if I start thinking about things I want to do/feel I need to do. Then I get up.
If it takes too long to reach that stage, then generally (as others have said) needing to pee or being hungry will prompt me.
Also, I never leave the blinds closed, and so as it gets more light I get more awake (unless I've gone to bed really, really late--then the light doesn't seem to matter much). Even if it's dark I will eventually wake up and feel like getting up, but it takes longer, and I don't so easily recognize "hey, it's morning, probably time to get up."
