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.
