awakeners

Those who rouse

Awakeners are people or things that rouse others from sleep or unawareness.

The term appears most often in religious or spiritual contexts, where an awakener brings enlightenment or moral consciousness to others: The great awakeners of the 18th century drew thousands to outdoor revivals.

More literally, an awakener is simply whatever wakes you: My cat is my most reliable awakener.
