2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

There are also bedside lamps that slowly turn on at defined times, so you can wake up slowly. I've also built a blue light with a pi zero for my kids, that slowly increases in intensity over 10 minutes
I would also suggest something like a very bright Philips hue light (or other smart bulb). For me personally the bedside lamps can be problematic when sleeping sideways. And with smart bulbs you can just use whatever lamp you want.
I did this as well. I put 3 in the ceiling fan above my bed.
I get up an hour before my partner, and I also wake up easier, so I have them turn on at a low orange-red sunrise type color. They then later gradually brighten to a higher level of bright white when it's time for her to get up, so it's more intense, but still not harsh.
We still have alarms to actually get us up, but they can be quieter and less harsh, since the light helps the actual waking effect.
