For folks who don't have good windows or lighting for this: I invested in a "Lighten Up" timer that slowly trickles power to a light via a dimmer setup on a schedule. It has made it IMMENSELY easier to wake up at a consistent time. And it's very gradual. Caveat: spend some time finding a good dimmer bulb! So many CFLs and LEDs do weird things on a dimmer. One of them flickered like crazy. Another strobed. If you have any old incandescents around, they work great.

Much more expensive, but I get other benefits, like dimming lights nicely in the evening
