The simple solution would be to get up and turn on the light, but that is just too much like hard work especially as you would also have to closed the curtains or blinds and then while you are up you may as well get a drink and something eat.
The easier version would be to use a self illuminating light that is powered via the USB port, it’s controlled by a dimmer switch that can be adjusted to suit the user and as soon as gets to that level the light comes on.
