I clapped my hands to wake it up.
Wait what? Can you tell me why you clapped your hands?
Because I want it to wake up from the loud noise.
Generally there are nicer ways to wake people up. I don't think you'd want to be woken up that way, right?
If I clap my hands loud enough it would wake you up...
Yes, it would, and that's not a nice way to wake people up.
