I wonder if wiring bright lights to turn on automatically will lead to more alertness in the morning. I find alarm clocks jarring and the first 5 minutes of being awake feels awful. Perhaps having light wake you is more natural?
The Zeo sleep manager has an option where it will play an alarm noise at a point in your sleep cycle when you're close to awake anyway. (It monitors N minutes prior to your alarm time, watching for you to enter light sleep, where N is configurable.) Works well for me.
Has anyone tried a accellerometer based sleep cycle alarm clock smartphone app?
A common kind of alarm clock is just that: lights turning on gradually in the morning to try to approximate dawn.
Try drinking water and a bit of pickle juice. Had a dramatic effect on my morning grogginess.
