I use bright lamps with a timer in the socket and set them to turn on 0.5-1 hours before wake up time. I often dream about sleeping in bright sunlight before waking up to the cold reality of the Scandinavian climate. I don't need alarm clocks with this approach at all.
If I wake up groggy I take a few caffeine pills and continue sleeping. Alertness is guaranteed in 15-20 minutes.
Is there a way to turn the lights on gradually?
As Richard pointed out there is, but the sunrise alarms I've seen are not bright enough for my taste and are more expensive. Of course you could combine the two approaches. I don't wake up the moment when the lights turn on so nothing feels abrupt about it.
Yes. I sometimes use one of these, although when it's really important to get up at a certain time, I set other alarms as well.
