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).

    Here are some more ideas

    • A cat drops a vase on the floor, resulting in the sound of glass shattering and water splattering.
    • A burglar throws a brick through your living room window and proceeds to clear the rest of the glass with the barrel of a shotgun.
    • The washing machine upstairs starts leaking, the floor is completely flooded and water begins to seep from your ceiling.
    • A toaster catches fire, flames engulf the kitchen, molten plastic drips on the floor, burning furniture begins to crumble.
    • A squirrel sneaks in through an open window and finds a box of cereal in the kitchen. It chews the box open and makes a nest in there.

        Oh, you mean the sound of intense radiation roasting the paint off the walls for a few seconds, followed by a shock wave that shreds the entire building in a split second?

        Yeah, that should do the trick.
