Works Better than an Alarm Clock

To wake a sleeping wife, still nervous about her husband's travel to pick up their adopted son, call up the stairs at 5:30AM in a sheepish voice, "Ummm...did you do something with my passport yesterday?"

Then apologize profusely when the passport is found minutes later among your things.
