A missing kid isn't going to get found any quicker by a person sleeping. I think there is a real danger that these things going off every 2 weeks at 2 am is going to cause people to 100% ignore all emergency alerts, which obviously could have ill effects.
Just so I don't get howled at for my opining, I didn't get woken up, and I haven't ever been bothered by them, so I am not complaining, I'm just trying to be logical here.
