Thanks. Wake Up! Pro (WUP) looks interesting. Freeware, open source.

Welcome to the offical website of Wake Up! Pro, an alarm clock program designed for insomniacs
(such as yours truly). WUP (what I call it for short) was written in Visual Basic 6 and is in a
constant state of improvement. The reason I created it is because it takes a lot to get me out of
bed sometimes, my three alarm clock can all be shut off... One day (on which I overslept) I came
up with an idea: to use my PC as an alarm clock that would not let me go back to sleep. WUP can be
a harmless clock on your desktop or a relentless noise machine, according to the options you select.
