You could use Ledpattern-editor to turn the status led bright white while charging. That would force me to turn it screen down before going to sleep. If you forget it every once in a while you just get waken "normally" by the alarm clock.

Thanks! I will give this one a try. I doubt the flash leds alone will wake you up (unless they are pointed at your face) but it should put you in a lighter sleep. Personally I'm quite sensitive to light; if I forget to close my rolling shutters I usually wake up at sunrise.

The secret really was to just have classical music come slowly up & play for 15 minutes before the regular alarm goes off. Apparently the fade-in slowly wakes you up enough to not need to abruptly just hit snooze when the alarm goes off.

I would have put it together as an app, but was never able to set up a successful programming environment.

Thanks I'll look into it!
