My main problem with waking up is not to get up, you'll have to do it at some point anyway. It has more to do with the alarm clock in itself, I sometimes wake up with the choc of the alarm sound. The strident noise catches me by surprise while sleeping and it produces a boost of adrenaline which I would love to avoid.

I pretty convinced that a very progressive and friendly sound as an alarm sound would work great.

Does anyone have any experience with such an alarm clock ?
