I've recently connected my bedside lights (on each side of my bed) to a dimmable X10 socket. Using the programmable controller, they gradually brighten over 20 mins when all lights in the room turn on and my alarm goes off.
Felt it was more fun, less intrusive, and as cheap (ish) to roll my own solution.
It's a long way from the old days of a radio on full-volume static or alarm clock thrown under the middle of my bed!
