Classic example of why people used to buried with string inside the coffin, which was connected to a bell on the gravestone. If they woke up, they could pull on the string and ring the bell. Hence, the term .... "Saved by the bell."

I always thought saved by the bell to be a boxing term. Learn something everyday. With my luck I'd wake up in the middle of the night and nobody would hear me.
