Rise & Shine
Ever wonder how people woke up before the alarm clock was invented? Without buzzes and ringtones, they had some interesting methods:
- Clepsydras, or water clocks with a floating bob that rang out when the water reached a certain level
- Knocker-ups, or people who rapped on windows with a long pole
- Religious bells and prayers
- Factory whistles during the industrial age
