Gentle alarm clock?

Hello. I’m looking for a gentle alarm clock, one that will wake me slowly. Right now my wife & I are in the bad equilbrium of ‘snoozing’ for about an hour every morning. Hour of snooze is the worst of both worlds. I’d rather replace that with a machine that gets slowly louder & brighter.

Here’s one from Hammacher & Schlemmer for $50.

Two at once ?

Digital watch set to alarm first, then normal bedside alarm clock set for x minutes later. Many digital watches stop their beep after a minute.

Aurora.

If you have a mac, check out Aurora. I have used it for a very long time and just love it. I set it to a relaxing song in the morning and have it raise the volume gradually. Its great.

Philips wake-up light

A friend of mine has one by Philips. He loves it. It gets gradually lighter as if you are waking up by sunlight.

Some info on the philips website: http://www.wakeuplight.philips.com/default.aspx
