no, that doesn't work - but you can set the alarm clock to 6.00 a.m., for example, then quickly switch it off again, set a new time, e.g. 8.00 a.m. and then it would work. BUT: the light that comes on at 6.00 a.m. will probably wake both of you. The body reacts to the light, even if you are lying a little further away or facing away from the light.
