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.

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 used to, but that has changed since I started using the N900 as an alarm clock. The internet alarm clock script I wrote has been the most reliable way of getting me to wake up that I have ever had. I am afraid now of separation from my N900!

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.

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.

Thanks I'll look into it!

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?

Ah, due to a variety of reasons, most apps end up getting installed under the /opt directory. So, you'll usually have to give the full path name to run them. For example, Lanterne is installed into the directory /opt/lanterne, and the full path name to reach the executable is:

/opt/lanterne/bin/lanterne

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

Via the same way, you could even run a simple shell script that would increase light intensity gradually, over time (considering how fluent Copernicus is with driving N900's LEDs around like a bicycle, he would probably write such script in 5 minutes). Although, I'm not sure if light intensity matters for Sunrise Clock when using such (relatively) weak source as our flash LEDS.

Well, yes, I guess I probably could. 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.
