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).
A cat puke has me out of the bed in .03 seconds. Even in REM.
Cat puking noises wake me up every fucking time so you’re onto something.
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 wish women’s screams still riled me. It’d sure make mornings a lot easier.

My theory is that if we split people into two groups - those who hit snooze and those who don’t - and dropped them on a desert island to survive, one group would rebuild civilization while the other descended into chaos and perished.

I don’t have a dog or kids, I am not scared of puke. I just set the alarm early and snooze. Take my time to wake up
