As you are talking about the rush you get just from hearing the beeping, I agree with many in this discussion regarding conditioning. You probably get a bit pumped up because of the way you associate the noise of an alarm clock. They also tend to make a pretty jarring sound. Even if you don't associate the noise of an alarm with anything; they are meant to sound alarming.
If you feel like it, reading some articles regarding circadian rhythms, zeitgebers, and blood plasma epinephrine concentrations might be fun, though not entirely relevant to what you are asking in this post.
