    I have a light that gets slowly brighter for half an hour which wakes me, **** being woken by noise any more!

    This yoke, but mine has lovely birds tweeting at the end. Very relaxing (which strangely makes it nicer to get up)

    A gentle sunrise, alone or accompanied by Dutch radio. Thank you lumie

    Such a cool question!

    My first alarm is that gorgeous orchestral piece that they always play in Disney movies. It starts off at a very low volume so as to seduce me into consciousness.

    The next few alarms are whatever the feck random ringtones I chose the night before.

    The final one is my big alarm and that just goes BLEEP BLEEP until I give up and get out of bed.

    I probably need a better morning routine..

    Mine was an audio compilation of Ricky Gervais's laughs for about 5 years, was pretty much the most annoying thing I could find... something like this:

    My alarm is Ed Sheeran's song Photograph. It's pretty quiet but enough to wake me up. I can't stand being startled from sleep by loud or brash sounds.

    I had one that sounded very like this

    One morning I woke up and it was outside the window in the rain.
    I have no memory of doing it but I was an hour late!

    I have my iPod in an iPod alarm clock, so I get woken up by a random song. It starts off quiet, and I love it because I can relax with my eyes closed until the song is over, and then I get up.

    I wish I could tell you but I always sleep through it.

    Mine is whenever generic one is auto selected on an I phone and whenever I hear it on tv or during the day it makes my stomach almost fall out my ass

    I had that at first but my cats went mad! I might try out the waves again.

    Doesn't anyone have an alarm clock radio anymore? I wake up to the sounds of BBC Radio 4's the Today program.

    Blissful silence. I retired when I was 45, nearly 15 years ago now. :D

    Before anyone says it, I've never taken a cent from the state, and never will.

    The theme tune for Wallace and Gromit. Similar clock to this:

    It makes an old fashioned alarm clock noise and it's VERY loud. The neighbours say they can sometimes hear it. Or sometimes it's the dog at five in the morning :-/

    I have heard you can get these lamps that are set to act like a dawn and wake you up more I have always wanted to try and find one.

    Had one years ago from a UK company called " Outside In"
