Sorry, I've waited a day before this reply since I think the mods didn't like that I seemed a bit like an infomercial. I don't have one single idea, but rather a whole collection of ideas which can be executed by a single company with rigor.

They're all based on the premise I've outlined. Kind of like there are a whole lot of different alarms (and strategies, like - for me - placing the alarm across the room) that all 'do something' beyond waking you up long enough that you turn the alarm off before falling back asleep for good. There's not one strategy here.

To me, diet and exercise-based books are like strategies for waking up: they think that having a strategy like "When the alarm wakes you up enough that you turn it off, do turn it off, but don't go back to sleep!" Well, yeah, that's the "super-strategy!" All strategies are equivalent to this, just like all strategies are equivalent to "use more calories than you consume". It doesn't help someone who wakes up just long enough to turn a 'naive' alarm off.

If there is some way to reach you I'm happy to share a complete list.
