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).
Cat puking noises wake me up every fucking time so you’re onto something.
The Sonic drowning soundtrack will wake me out of a dead fucking sleep. That’s what I use for alarms that I can’t afford to sleep through.
The sound of a dog making the “uck uck uck uck uck uck uck bleeeech” gets me out of bed fast.
are you okay
Ha! Yes. Thanks for asking.
I was woken up this morning by my dog yakking. She’s fine, but it got me thinking how I don’t usually get up so easily with a regular alarm.
A baby crying
or
a young woman’s scream
less so would be
a grown man screaming in agony … (something along the lines of saying something like 'OH GOD, MY LEG, MY LEG, OH GOD, GOD NO, MY LEG!!!, OH GOD, HELP ME, MY LEG!!)
For a short while when I was having trouble waking up, I used a goat scream (the goat scream) for my alarm. It’s close enough to a woman’s scream and I gotta say, yes it woke me up, but god, do not do that to yourself.
I fear the result would be slower reactions for the real event.
The sound has to rotate randomly.
That’s a great idea. Maybe make it so you can load up as many customizable sounds as you like, and they randomly shuffle each time.
Going through that every morning will shorten your lifespan.
You say that like it’s a bad thing. 😉
A cat puke has me out of the bed in .03 seconds. Even in REM.
And I thought I was extra for using a rooster sound.
Mine works just fine. Thanks.
