I would not leave a slow cooker on high for 10-12 hours. High setting is for the 4-6 hour range and low is for the 8-10. A few hours over the recipe will not hurt your food; slow cookers provide a lot of leeway. If you are the type to really worry, purchase a timer for the socket and force it to shut off at 8 hours.
Might not be too difficult if you use one of those 24 hour mechanical outlet timers to turn the gear..

Just cover it up with something
Battery bloat will be a problem if you keep them charging 24x7. Get a Sabrent 60 Watt 10 port charger and a mechanical timer. Set the timer for about 1 hour on, and one (or more if you can) off.

Egg timers work for an hour/one rev. Two egg timers stacked will get you two revs in an hour.
A mechanical timer will give you one rev in 24 hrs
This is what I will test with Plan B: a basic electrical timer and a 500-watt flood light. I just ordered them. This is actually cheaper than the $70-80 Phillips light—it'll only cost you around $35.
Although it might be a shock to wake up to, I speculate that I'll get used to it in a few days. Really really bright light is probably very good at entraining circadian rhythms—it needs to be too bright to comfortably ignore. I want to be assaulted with photons.
I also want to test what it's like when the light is colored blue, I imagine that will be more relaxing, since early morning light is very blue.
I recommend this one.
I ended up buying a new crockpot that has a built in timer, but before that, I used this cheap and simple timer which worked fine for my needs.
I got you OP, www.amazon.com/GE-24-Hour-Mechanical-Grounded-Outlet/dp/B0035GF8NA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1451955981&sr=8-5&keywords=outlet+timer
Super cheap and works if you have a fairly regimented schedule. Though most of us just leave ours on 24/7 due to its minimal power usage.
Cheap wireless router + outlet timer = stupid easy access control (assuming the room you keep them in is secure).
I've got my turtles' lights on a timer, and my girlfriend has her beardie's on a timer too. Totally hassle free, which is good because I'm half lazy and the other half busy. They're like $10 for good ones with a decent current rating. I've got two 100W lights running off a single one of these with no problems.
One of these + one of these is what I have set up. Only downside is the light turns on suddenly but you get used to that. And it's cheap! (And winter is coming... no one likes waking up in the dark).
One of these bad boys.

I think any old light timer would be fine, they are relatively cheap. I think the only two different styles are ones like thisversus fancier digital style. The main difference with the analog one is that the little dial physically rotates around, so you can end up bonking it or flipping the switches (this dictates the light cycle on/off time). That being said, I have the analog one and it works fine, it's just not as "convenient" if you are prone to accidentally touching it i.e. if you use it in a crowded/busy outlet.
Oh, sorry another thing, make sure it has the right prong style (three versus two). The particular analog one I linked has two prong only (I use it for a lamp).
just pick up a cheap timer like this: http://www.amazon.com/15153-24-Hour-Plug-Mechanical-Timer/dp/B0035GF8NA
I get them at Home Depot for $5. It has 30 minute intervals.
I have the 6 qt crock pot ($35) and a timer I got from a hardware store ($10).
I highly recommend something like this:

You can get them at walmart or a hardware store for ~$5 (less when Christmas lights go on sale), and they take care of the light for you.
