I would also suggest something like a very bright Philips hue light (or other smart bulb). For me personally the bedside lamps can be problematic when sleeping sideways. And with smart bulbs you can just use whatever lamp you want.
I did this as well. I put 3 in the ceiling fan above my bed.
I get up an hour before my partner, and I also wake up easier, so I have them turn on at a low orange-red sunrise type color. They then later gradually brighten to a higher level of bright white when it’s time for her to get up, so it’s more intense, but still not harsh.
We still have alarms to actually get us up, but they can be quieter and less harsh, since the light helps the actual waking effect.
