ah, perhaps you meant this band?
Strawberry Alarm Clock is a psychedelic rock/pop rock band from Los Angeles best known for their 1967 hit "Incense and Peppermints". ..

hey--maybe incense and peppermints would wake a person up...
or how about the smell of coffee...perhaps there is a fragrance
generator that does that...or an automatic coffee maker that
grinds beans and brews...smelling that by the bed might help..


i second that medical question..any chance there is a
sleeping disorder here? does she snore or pause in breathing?

many cell phones have alarm clocks that get louder and louder..
how about a dog that jumps up on the bed licking faces--that is
bound to arouse..in any case--the alarm needs to not be within
reach. i have set multiple alarms at times when i needed to get
up extra early.

John Muir solved this in a different way:
Muir was a mechanical genius as well—an inventor of barometers, hydrometers, table-saws, and assorted machines, including a much-celebrated device he called his "early-rising machine." Essentially a bed incorporating a clock and gear mechanism, the "early-rising machine". would turn and dump its occupant onto the floorboards at an appointed hour, thus guaranteeing that he or she would wake up. Muir was such a talented engineer, he earned a living in his youth by conducting time-and-motion studies for factory-owners, streamlining their industrial processes and increasing their profits. How different might history have been had the call of the wilderness not been so strong for Muir
