I use two alarms: (a) the iHome, which is currently set to play "The Drapery Falls" by Opeth, which wakes me at about 6:30 AM, and (b) the standard MER, MER, MER, MER, MER alarm which is set to go off at 6:38 AM. If I enjoy the music too much, the latter wakes me (gosh, do I hate those days.) Usually, however, I can wake up to my favorite tunes and start the day off right!
