There was one independent living group (ILG) at my school where there was a sleeping porch. Before going to bed, everyone put his/her name on a list with his/her requested wake-up time. One person slept in the main house with an alarm clock set for 5:30am or so, and it was his/her responsibility to go up to the porch and wake people up at their requested time and say, "It's 8am [or whatever], time to get up". This was a rotating house duty known as "arousal". LOL
