The daylight alarm has a daylight lamp that gradually increases intensity for that waking up outdoors kind of wakefulness.

So you can wake up cheerfully; then look outside and see the bleak, New Hampshire winter blizzards whipping past the streetlamps that are still on at 6 in the morning, because there's no light! None!
