I have a Hue light on my bedside table that goes from 0 to max over 30min, plus three bulbs in the ceiling socket that do the same, but are staggered. Like bedside can be 6:55-7:25, with overhead 1 from 7-7:30, overhead 2 from 7:05-7:35, etc. So you have the four lights brightening together over the course of 45min or whatever longer period you want. If it's gradual enough, you won't just bury your head, and if it's enough bulbs, it'll get bright enough to convince your body it's daytime. There's another trick I've been meaning to do. The Hue app's wake up routine turns it on to a low temperature light, but turning it a little higher temp/bluer once I'm up does help trick me into daytime. I'm meaning to make a cron job on my raspberry pi to make my own wakeup routine that is a little slower to avoid the need to stagger lights, and also increase temperature once it's bright. If you know linux, the pi is easy. Even without the fancy pi stuff, it's Good Enough. The Hue bulbs add up fast in cost, but it's worth it to me. I have the white ambiance ones.
