You wonder how people woke up before alarm clocks, amirite?
by Anonymous13 years ago
they used their reticular function.

Well yeah, but they would have had to wake up at that time FIRST before being able to use it.

With the rooster crowing in your backyard, I'm sure it wasn't tough.

I'm sure people went to bed earlier and were able to get up earlier before alarm clocks...or you know way back when..when it was normal to have maids and butlers people would have them wake them up at a specific time.

but then how did the maids and butlers wake up?
by Anonymous13 years ago
Nobody gave them permission to sleep? Maybe they worked in shifts. Day maids, night maids..etc.

In medeival times, some monks tied string to their big toe and lit the other end on fire. A few hours later, they would feel the heat near their foot and wake up.
