I bought some smart bulbs for the bedroom and use those as a gradual alarm clock. It works wonders. I only have a blasting audio alarm clock when I need to catch a flight these days and it’s much much more pleasant to slowly wake from the “sun” than to be jolted awake suddenly. I also make sure to wake up early enough that I don’t have to start getting ready immediately. It has made mornings much more pleasant.
