I sleep very deeply, and have a lot of trouble getting up in the morning. My wife typically wakes me up *the first time* about 15-20 minutes before I actually get out of bed. I'm the type of person who can happily cross a room, hit the snooze button, and then go lay back down - For Hours On End!
The best alarm clock I ever owned was one of those Zen Alarm Clocks that wakes you with a series of chimes that starts off far apart and then slowly speeds up. Sadly, it's broken now. Since I can't be trusted to get up with a regular alarm clock, the wife handles it for me.
But, I read about a new clock that sounds pretty interesting:

Using a headband equipped with electrodes and a microprocessor, SleepSmart records the distinct pattern of brainwaves produced during each phase of sleep and transmits the data to a clock unit near the bed.
The user programmes the clock with the latest time at which he wants to be wakened. The alarm then goes off during the last light-sleep phase before the deadline.
