It's possible that 'knock [him/her/them] up' is still an idiom meaning 'wake up' in some dialects of British English. At least it was about twenty years ago - I was on a trip and somebody I knew vaguely happened to be on the same trip in the same hotel. She asked me to knock her up in the morning - luckily I guessed what she meant although I hadn't come across the phrase in that context before.
