Worth noting though that SREs at Google are rarely woken up. One of the main differences between SREs who support a service and dev owners who may also be on call is that the SREs will be in some sort of follow the sun configuration of 12 hour shifts. My team in Sydney partners with San Francisco for example, so worst case for me is a page at midnight just before I hand over, worst case for them is about 5am. So not usually anything happening in the middle of the night, at worst a late night or early morning, but never both.
