Is there a reason for not using a plain old outlet timer like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005WQIDHY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1426488604&sr=8-3&keywords=outlet+timer&pi=AC_SY200_QL40) ?

Put a light on a timer. I bought these timers. Generally I'd use a not-too-bright lamp or a string of white Christmas lights so the light isn't too harsh right away.

Have your first alarm go off about five minutes after the light timer. Have preworkout mixed and ready to go next to your bed. After the first alarm, chug the pre-workout. Roll back over to "sleep" more. Second alarm would go off about 10 minutes after the first one. By then the preworkout is kicking in and it's time to wake up!

I've also incorporated a radio alarm in the past as well. Gets my brain going to listen to the music/DJs.

it's the mechanical timer. it happened to me so i dropped the mech ones for these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WQIDHY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

^That's ^why ^I'm ^here, ^I ^don't ^judge ^you. ^PM ^/u/xl0 ^if ^I'm ^causing ^any ^trouble. ^WUT?

I use these: http://amzn.com/B005WQIDHY

They allow two on/off periods per day and work great for me. There is an easy override too.

I have it on a timer, like this. I absolutely cannot wake up when it's dark. Having the light turn on 10 minutes before my alarm really helps me.

Until they nail down what in the firmware causes the random dirt naps, if you are real worried about it get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Woods-50007WD-24-Hour-Digital-Polarized/dp/B005WQIDHY (They were on a stupid-good sale a week ago so they are currently low on stock, I paid $7.50 for 4 of them). Just set it to reboot once a day and you should be good.

Here you go.

EDIT:

I also use one of these to reboot my wifi router once a day in the middle of the night.

Desk lamps are great for small tanks. Get a cheap plug-in timer and you won't even have to turn it off and on. ☺

I use this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WQIDHY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It works great and you get two for $16.

Get a timer...

These are the actual ones I have. They are a little wonky to set up but they work well.

First I just had lamps on something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Woods-50007-24-Hour-Digital-Settings/dp/B005WQIDHY/ you probably can find something like this much cheaper.

I ended up installing a switch like this: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Econoswitch-RPLS740B-Programmable-Switch/dp/B004AP92N2/

I have a couple of these, once programmed properly I haven’t had a problem. They sell something similar at Home Depot/Lowe’s/Walmart for around 10 dollars for one and it works just as well.

Unless you need massively heavy duty, these are great:

I use them on 2 aquariums and a basking light for our snake.
