I have a nook color who's only job the last 8 months has been to collect dust. I have a stand for it and will upgrade it to the latest stable cyanogenmod, but I'd like to use it as an alarm clock in my bedroom, constantly plugged in.

Has anyone done this with a tablet satisfactorily? What's a good way to have the screen on regularly, but not too much? This will vary by the person, but having it constantly on was not ideal but I don't know a good compromise.

I tried an app called lightening bug a year ago and the white numbers had ghosting/image retention after leaving it on for an hour. I'd like to avoid this.
