that’s a really good idea. a gentle wake alarm, followed by a “FUCKING WAKE UP” alarm; that way you can try to wake peacefully and if that fails get jolted awake.
fat lot of that does me now that I’ve had a child, but I wondered how that could have worked.
My brother used Sold Me by Seether while we were growing up. He hooked it up to a stereo and would try to get up and turn it off before the heavy guitars kick in and wake up the whole house. That’s only 8 seconds. It never really worked and of course I had to share the room with him
how do/did you deal with the fear that you’d just sleep through the alarm?
You could always have a proper alarm a few minutes later as a fallback…

My alarm is, “song that plays when you encounter a coelacanth.”
Put Painkiller by Judas as the third song.
