Do you really need those 30 minutes of hitting the snooze button? Why not sleep instead and wake up after the first alarm? I tried both and I'm much better off with the latter.
I almost never use an actual alarm (when I expect one to go off, it makes me sleep fitfully) but when I've been woken up and don't have to get up yet, I can fall into a light doze which leaves me pleasantly conscious of being comfortable and relaxed in a way that being outright asleep does not. I don't think I'd take a magic pill that caused me to be instantly alert and energetic on waking if I couldn't have that dozing period for at least a few minutes.
I don't need them, but I often take them if I can and enjoy them, and often find myself feeling significantly better after snoozing.
If you have an Android, try the "gentle alarm" app.
It seems to have roughly the same effect, except you don't have to actually press snooze and you don't have that moment when the blaring alarm goes off and you need to throw it at the wall. Well.. just try it. :)
a) I don't have an android
b) I never feel the need to throw my alarm against the wall
c) I like being able to decide groggily whether I'm ready to get up
So I appreciate your suggestion, which is probably useful for a wide variety of people, but I'm actually quite happy with my current setup and don't feel the need to change things.
