When he felt sleepy, he would run his alarm program. It would move the carraige on the LA-36 to column 132 and wait. At the requested time it would beep several times. If you didn't press return, it would print a carraige return, bringing the print head to the left hand margin again. He would sleep with his hand in the printing area and if the beep didn't wake him up, the print head slamming into his hand would do it :-).
