How to get up right away when your alarm goes off

When I started going to the gym early, before work, getting out of bed at 6am was the hardest part. What helped me transition to being a morning person was to buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/BioBrite-Sunrise-Clock-Radio-Platinum/...

It's a much more pleasant way to wake up in the morning, as it mirrors nature. I've found that after using it consistently for about a week, my sleep cycle stabilizes on the schedule I want, and I can usually get up naturally when I need to and beat my back-up buzzing alarm.

It seems that the device actually lights up to help you wake up. Does it also mimic the sun's early-morning wavelengths? From what I understand, the color changes from early morning to noon to afternoon, etc. and the body is adapted to react differently during each phase.

I tried this for about three weeks and then stopped. Maybe I didn't practice enough. I think he's got the right idea though.
