I feel your pain. My youngest son, 10 years old, behaves similarly.

Ooh you have a real problem there. It's going to require a real solution.

Get a new clock, and give it to her along with the receipt for it, to replace the property she's destroyed. Works best if her birthday is coming up shortly so you can give it to her then.
(As you may be able to tell, I'm no parent. By choice.)
Not that I'm a morning person myself, but I've never had to rely on an alarm clock. I've probably been awake before 6:00am / 6:30am every day of my life without ever trying. Not that I get up at that time. But by the time I need to get up, I've already done enough tossing and turning to get up without any hassle.

Buy her a nice bicycle that'll substitute for the taxi service you provide when she misses the current mode of getting to whereever. The incentive to get out of the rack in the morning is the first hurdle.
The next, what to do on steep uphills ...

Scorpion?
I know that is one of the star signs (can't remember which), and it can sting.
EDIT...  Obvious the star sign is Scorpio

The "sign that stings" bit is obvious but I'm missing something with "Northern Star" ...

Northern N
Star – a sign SCORPIO
that stings!
SCORPION
The idea was to confuse you into thinking about "Northern star" and "sign" rather than "Northern" and "star sign"

Which is exactly how you would spell "scorpion" if you had just been stung by one. Ergo, the whole clue is an anagram indicator! 
At least that would be my defence to your accusations if I was Griff's lawyer. Alas I am not, so off to the stocks with him!

And that it did, it confused me until I got to the end of the clue, and then it all became as clear as the night sky.

Anyone watching the show?
There is a scene in episode 2 of current season, when Bill meets the judge, which is epic.
The Judge: I've got two parking lots: one for my car, the other for everything else...
Bill: Well, you couldn't handle my best...

Did not see it, yet. Plot seems interesting, as does lead actor.

It is a TV show currently airing; adapted from a trilogy of Stephen King, featuring Brendan Gleeson.
Quite a nice piece of work.
