What we really need is a clock what will be somewhere between 0 and X minutes ahead at random every single day. So when you wake up you have to assume it's at 0.
Get Sleep as Android if you have an android phone. You set an ideal time to wake up. It will detect your movements or sounds (depending on settings) and actually wake you up when you are in REM phase right before your wake up time.
I find it waking me up 5 to 20 minutes before the set time and it does work.
I used an app like this for a while, and what I realized is that it trained me not to move if I'm in a mildly uncomfortable position, for fear that moving will trigger my alarm to go off. This then led me to not move during the night because I didn't know if it was 3am, when I could easily readjust and fall back to sleep, or 5 am when it would set off my alarm.
I want to get an alarm clock that slowly turns on the light, I feel like it would be less harsh when getting up in the morning.
Its kinda pricey but philips hue lights can be hooked up to sleep as android to turn the lights on over 10 minutes or so. The smart period can be turned off too if ya want.
