![A knocker-up or knocker-upper was a member of a profession[1] in the Netherlands, Britain, Ireland, and some other countries that started during, and lasted well into, the Industrial Revolution, when alarm clocks were neither cheap nor reliable. A knocker-up's job was to rouse sleeping people so they could get to work on time.[2][3] By the 1940s and 1950s, this profession had more or less entirely died out, although it still continued in some pockets of industrial England until the early 1970s.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5fkpchjm65mdbutnmkifcqjf/bafkreiefpwy4sbm546yalm27yhy6vnmjg6lnkpuo74vucih2eid2qoj6qe)
