Alarm clocks would be more effective if the sound was someone puking or gagging. (self.showerthoughts)

I always hit snooze on my alarm clock, but I jump right out of bed if I hear someone puking or gagging (e.g., kids or my dog).

Record your child when they are young... There is some internal biological thing going on. My daughter could wake me up out of a slumber that a freight train running by my pillow would not.

I think even an infant crying would get most people, even if childless.
