Since no one has mentioned it yet, SleepAnalyzer (http://wiki.maemo.org/SleepAnalyser) has a sleep cycle alarm (and music I believe - for lucid dreaming) that wakes you up with a "slow" alarm. No lighting integration, but personally I doubt it would be pleasant to wake up to the N900's LED lights anyways.

I just made this thread to see if there are more N900 owners with trouble getting up in the morning(and hopefully someone capable of making such an app)
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.

For me I would forget to do that every night. It would need some reminder to open the lens before bedtime.

Sleepanalyser is a nice app, I like it!
But to stay ontopic:
To experiment a bit I thought I could use Alarmed to simply start the Flashlight or Lanterne App x minutes before the alarm. This should be possible, right? Unfortunately I can't get it to work. In fact, I can't start any App from Alarmed or x-terminal. Any help?

/opt/lanterne/bin/lanterne

I'll try it a few nights to see if it works for me..

But just to reiterate my position from last year, after having studied the documentation on the N900's flash hardware, I'm just not comfortable with driving the white LEDs constantly at high power, as that can potentially burn them out. Lanterne's torch runs the LEDs at the only power level that has been explicitly labeled as safe for continuous use, so I'm just going to stick with that...

Why not create an app that sounds user selected alarm gradually increases the brightnes (flashing every 6 seconds for 3 minuts only when the phone is upside down with lens cover open) maybe like a plugin for lalterne.
Well you could use my instructions to control the the flashlight instead of the volume, however, if you can't do this you will have to wait for a developer to need it enough to create it.
