The good news is that for most diabetics, your body will automatically wake you up for a hypo. It's a survival mechanism. But some people suffer from hypoglycemic unawareness, and their body doesn't wake them up.

Most diabetics have CGMs these days, though, and somebody like that should be setting hypo / hyper alarms so that either them or their partner wakes up.

(The problem there becomes false alarms and the subsequent alarm fatigue that results in you turning them all off.)
