I have an east-facing window and Hunter-Douglas Silhouette shades:
Silhouette window shadings: Hunter Douglas Window Treatments They're older so they're not as sheer as the newer ones on the website when they're set horizontally. I love them. I think I will probably always have Silhouettes from now on; they allow light in but keep your privacy.
I get up without an alarm clock--or I try to, anyway. I hate hate hate alarm clocks. I spend half the night waking myself up in a panic that I've slept through the alarm or else I dream that I've slept through the alarm. So I rely on my east-facing window and the light, and I also program my central thermostat to turn on the heat half an hour before I want to get up. I also prefer to be on a regular schedule, with the same wakeup every day, but given my unpredictable schedule at work right now, that's just not possible.
