BioBrite EZ Wake SunRise Clock (EZ Wake Digital SunRise Alarm Clock on Amazon, available in sea green and light blue) is a gradual light alarm clock. It includes what is called a "dawn simulator" or an alarm light. It is powered by a 60-watt alarm clock light bulb, and glows gradually more and more luminescent for half an hour before your wake up time. Then, a beeping sound like a truck backing up is added at the end of the sequence. A progression with a kick at the end!

Peaceful Progression Aromatherapy And Nature Sounds Wake-Up Alarm Clock by Hammacher Schlemmer. This incredible light alarm clock uses gradually increasing light 30 minutes before the wake up time to wake you up with brighter and brighter light. During the same time the heat from the lamp causes the release of the scents that stimulate your sense of smell. The progression continues 15 minutes before the wake up time with the introduction of the soothing nature sounds that increase in volume over time. Only if none of the elements of the progression work this alarm with light will switch to sound and finally awaken you by a powerful series of beeps.
