Selam aleykum,

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “And if they only knew what was in the prayers of ‘Isha’ and Subh [fajr], they would come to them even if they had to crawl.” [Agreed upon]

Abu Zuhayr ‘Umara ibn Ruwayba said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, ‘No one who used to pray before the rising of the sun and before its setting will enter the Fire,‘ meaning Fajr and ‘Asr.” [Muslim]

According to a rigorously authenticated (sahih) hadith: Whoever prays al-Bardayn will enter Paradise. (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/52). Al-Bardayn are Fajr and ‘Asr.)

You really have to make an habit of sleeping a bit earlier. It's not OK for someone so young (or even adult, if not work-related!) to go to sleep around 3:00-3:30 am. What stops you from sleeping early? Are you online at night or watching TV? You must stop that, it breaks your sleeping habits. Check what you eat aswell, junk food and stuff ain't good, drink many glasses of water during the day.

And even though you continue like this, c'mon, it's less than an hour/or a bit over an hour you gotta wait... Surely you could manage that for the benefits mentioned in the above hadiths.

You should first and foremost insert the will and intention to not miss Fajr prayer in your heart. With enough will-power, you can manage almost anything.

And actually, what I sometimes do, is wake-up without alarm clock. I make dua to Allah to make me wake-up for Fajr, I read Ayatul Kursi, Al-Fatiha and such, and the time I have to pray I set in my memory and subhanAllah, everytime I do this I really wake-up without any trouble and even a few minutes before the time.
You gotta always make a strong intention.
