I hate being woken up by a loud buzzing alarm clock, or sleeping through
the radio. I've been looking into progressive alarm clocks and I'm
wondering if any of you know of some software that might do the same
sort of thing - turn on the screen and sound/song at a certain time and
slowly go to a white screen at 100% brightness and loudness?
If you're lost as to what I mean, here:
