Go to livingarts.com. Search for the Rise and Shine Lamp.It is an alarm clock lamp that simulate the rising sun. That means that a lamp is on a dimmer timer. At the appointed time, the lamp will slowly turn on and get brighter. Also, there might be a stimlator pad out there. I know they have something like this for infants. Basically, it's a pad that you place underneath your bedsheet and at the appointed time, it starts vibrating.

Clocks & Wake Up Alarm Systems for the Deaf:
Hearing people wake up to the sound of a buzzer or the sound of a radio every morning. Deaf people can use similar devices to wake up. They have a choice of waking up to flashing lights, vibrating beds or both. The clocks work similar to regular clocks, except they connect to the lamps and the vibrating devices.

Hi, there is indeed an invention of a "vibrating alarm clock" that goes underneath a pillow specifically designed for folks with hearing loss. Learnt about it at sign language classes though not sure where you could buy one!

I would just slip a load of amphetamine into his coffee before he leaves work on an evening that way he wont go to sleep at all and is guaranteed to be awake in the morning!!!
Or...... you could plug an sandwich toaster into a time operated electric plug, get him to sleep with his toes in it and set the timer to switch on at 7am!
Or.... You could buy a fan or bright lamp, again plug it into a time operated electric plug and set the timer for required time
Or..... he could get married then his slave, oops, i mean wife could wake him up with a nice cuppa every morning!!!

You could try to find a watch that vibrates and has an alarm clock on it that may do the trick i'm just not sure if there is one.
