Unless your circadian clock is naturally set early, there's no good way to wake up. Designers have been doggedly trying to find a better way to get us up in the morning and we've seen some stellar attempts at alarm clocks, like the Aura, a smart alarm that uses colored lighting to ease you in and out of sleep. There have also been clever apps, like one with a gorgeous gestural interface (maybe its sheer beauty will inspire you to seize the day?) and another that needs a good shaking before it turns off.
