been a professional trucker, my alarm clock is a sand clock.
you just set the right size of hole before going to bed, flip it, and set it up on the shelf about 3 foot over your pillow.
it dose make a bit of a mess in the truck, but boy dose it wake you up quick.
especially if you sleep on the side, them tiny little sands in the ear 1st thing in the morning...
OMG...

I just drink 2 gallons of water prior to going to sleep. It is a very effective, but not fool proof wake up system. I sometimes wet the bed if I am really tired, like if I have just finished 3 back to back guarded loads.

well, yes if your a trucker, but not if your a cow, because 'Great Cheese comes from happy cows' & happy cows farts at will..
can you imagine the cheese if they had to hold it?..
{is that why Wisconsin cheese have holes in it?}

Drinking a lot of water before bed isn't recommended for those who often dream of diving into a pool or going swimming. The sudden onset of warm water won't wake you up at all.

That's OK, I don't ever dream about those things.
I don't drink a lot of fluids before going to bed. Plus, dreaming of climbing up on a diving board or getting ready to jump into a pool triggers my subconscious to wake me up.
Most of my dreams that include water have boat, fishing rod, guns and decoys in them.
I drink water ALL night. It is SO dry in this truck I can hardly stand it. It wakes me up often. I do better when the humidity is up around 40%. This 10-20 stuff is a killer.
