It seems like it could be accomplished with an AGI and a script that 
wrote call files.  Have the AGI prompt for the wakeup time (or have a 
web interface for a front-desk person do it) and write a file to a 
directory indicating when the wakeup call should occur.  Then, have a 
Perl script that goes through those files and generates a call file in 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing at the right time.  Call files make retries 
simple as well, allowing you to space them and choose how many you 
want.  If you wanted to get fancy, you could use a database (perhaps 
with triggers?), voice recognition, or mp3s for the user to wake up to.
