Did anybody wake up today?  ;)

Did anybody wake up today?  ;)


Somehow...yeah. :D

My inner clock told me it was time. Good thing it did, 'cause I forgot to set my alarm... :-[

a craving for some good coffee plus my alarm clock went off at 8am  ::)

The sound of feet in the bedroom

A car horn

the sunshine.

brendan's alarm at 5AM

My back was hurting and I just couldn't get comfortable again.

Falling out of bed and banging my head on the bedside table.

I was having one of my killing people dreams and I guess I was thrashing around fighting.

The sound of feet in the bedroom


That would probably wake me too, being a single male. ;)

I think it was cats again wanting food,5:20 , then when the alarm went off 6:15 it was a 70's-80's song can't recall.

The sun coming up.

Those same voices I heard the other day.

Those same voices I heard the other day.


Sorry about that. I shall try to keep my voice down next time.

A really LOUD radio from a car. :P

Sorry about that. I shall try to keep my voice down next time.
I can assure you that is was not your voice. You are in the clear.

I just had enough...

the damn alarm clock  >:(

No alarm clock for me this weekend!

No alarm clock for me this weekend!
sleep in when you can and enjoy it

sleep in when you can and enjoy it

That's exactly what I'm doing. :) After four straight days of having to get up early and spend the entire day at school, it was good to have a sleep-in yesterday and today.

my cat

I think it was a dog, not sure. I know I got up at about 6, fed the dogs, let them out and went back to sleep..

Rain beating on the window.

Phone ringing.

It was Michelle, I pick it up - "Guurrghh, furrrgin early.. furrgin what?" 'Have you blah blah blah' "furrgin.. stoddin.. bugger off."  ;D

Phone woke me up too.  It was one of my hubby's friends so I didn't have as an enlightening conversation as Davey did.  ;)

Just remove consonants and you've pretty much got it.

Yesterday the cat started in at 2:30 in the morning.  >:(  Partly my fault because I forgot to make sure that the food dish was full before going to bed. Last night, it was a combination of heartburn and hubby's snoring. Two days of not sleeping well is paying a toll on my today. Oh yeah, the cat didn't bother me at all last night. She was too busy keeping my step-daughter awake in the other room.  ;D ;D ;D



Cat

Nothing really woke me up today...I just woke up naturally.

the sound of Vaughn's voice

I had this crazy dream that there was a thread called 'What woke you up today?', and that at some point later in the day I would start posting into it typing: 'I had this crazy dream that there was a thread called 'What woke you up today?', and that at some point later in the day I would start posting into it typing: I had this crazy dream that there was a thread called 'What woke you up today?', and that at some point later in the day I would start posting into it typing: .... (etc;)  ;) ;D :D

... and oh my gosh! Here it is. Plus I'm doing just that! Wow, this is too freaky!

.... and that the meaning of life, which  was revealed to me in that dream, and all the answers that I needed to transform myself into not merely 'Green Lantern' but the mighty 'Superman' (my real childhood favourite super-hero) would be revealed in this post, by my subconcious. But now I can't remember what it was ... :\'(

A full bladder-then I went back to sleep.  ;D ;D ;D Slept GREAT last night. The humidity and the temp was down. Perfect sleeping weather.




Cat

my being hungry woke me.

The bleeping sound of a mobile losing it's juice.

a weird dream about me helping someone give birth

A hot flash. Tried to go back to sleep and then the cat wanted attention. Then the phone rang. Once again, I TRIED to go back to sleep but one of the other cats dropped something and made a loud crashing noise. By this time, I gave up and got up. And all three cats (and hubby) went back to sleep.  ::)



Cat

the sound of our new cat meowing

I woke up on my own.  So, I woke me up. ;D

Cell phone ringing by the side of the bed. I opened the flip thing and snapped it shut, there's no point me talking after getting up.

I was having one of my killing people dreams.

I was having a dream too!  But mine was a musical and Bowie was in it, and my sister...it was all in bright color and fun..

That sounds.. scary.

That'd scare me more than killing people, I have an intense dislike for bright colors and harmless fun. Fun should harm, that's why it's fun.

I can't remember exactly what I was doing, lots of grey, lots of steels, probably a meat packing plant or something, sounds about right.

I pump hot projectiles in to warm meat.

My daughter bringing me the newspaper, coffee, and toast with jelly.  :o :)

I was working on soething electrical outdoors.  then i was working on  laundry.  it was like the typical musical where people in the building or town sing about the day, or some event...then just before i woke up, people were waiting for me to go to some party..a van full of people.
i was in a button down men's shirt with no pants...and had to run to the car for my dress and little kids laughed and we all cracked up.

Loud cracking thunder.  We had a brief shower, now it is hot and quite humid

Yeah, your dream would seriously freak me out.

You've never noticed that whilst I'm asleep I'm always thrashing around, throwing my arms around and stuff? I pretty much always dream about fighting or killing people, It's a bit disturbing sometimes but for the most part I'm used to it.

;D

:D  How do you keep the corpse warm?

a weird dream I had.  

I was on some sort of boat (very odd boat with the front shaped like a sofa so that I was sitting on this with my feet in the water) and we were going across an aqueduct.  Some boys (my son included) were swimming in front of us.  Although we were on the aqueduct I 'knew' it was the sea we were on and it was really deep.  It ended with me getting cross with my son because he was fooling about with his swimming trunks and kept taking them off.  I knew he would drop them, he did drop them and tried to dive under to fetch them back.  But he didn't surface and the boat kept moving forward so it was going to go over where I'd last seen him.  That was when I woke up

That would be a scary dream.

You're so sweet. :)

That cat-again. But I managed to get back to sleep only to be waken up by a full bladder.



Cat

My stuffy nose woke me. Also, I had a lot of strange dreams that sorta got me up.

You're so sweet. :)


Always.

nothing!, I was late for work again, 2nd day in a row and had to call work to let them know I'd be late. It's like Groundhog Day w/Bill Murray. I wake up an hour late at 9:15am, check to see why my alarm didn't go off & it's turned off. I double checked it before I went to sleep. When it does go off I always hit the snooze button a couple times. this same thing keeps happening. it's bizarre  ???

this should be good.  guilt over what?

Not getting up at 6:00 when I had set my alarm for.  I turned off the alarm and laid there wondering if I should get up and I eventually fell back asleep.

... you might even say 'alarming' .... or maybe not...  ;)

Still, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Tell them you need your 'beauty sleep' e.g;  ... the body, it needs the rest.  >:( "I needs me rest!"

I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige, even agree, that you NEED the 'sack'....  ;D

you too. luckily managment is cool, and is tolerant but i do get all my work done and that's what makes it easier for them to ok it when things like this happen.

knowing I had to go out at 10:30

As usual, my "furry" alarm clock.  :-\\  I think I'm going to have to teach her not to bother me in the morning. At least today, she did it fairly late (AFTER Carlos got up). It is just when she does it early in the morning... >:(  Carlos came back into the bedroom and asked me if I was up. I said, "Thanks to her" pointing to the cat who was now laying on his pillow.

Like your '3 ships pic'.  8) Makes me think of the song 'I saw three ships come sailing in' (on Christmas day in the morning'. Have to say though that the foremost one looks like it's taken or just about to take off there.

So you've got the defective 'pun' genome too? Maybe I'll trade a few around the traps with you.

:)

P. S As for what woke me up today, think the 'medication' wore off, and now, it's working again... just about slept the whole day away, and could easily go through till tomorrow, but gotta eat some time.

Yeah I like this artist's work, his name is Rob Gonsalves and he's a surrealist painter.  It kind of has that more modern M. C. Escher feel to him. 

There is another of his paintings I adore called "The Library"

I know what you mean, I am the same way.  I need to take something to help me sleep (although I try to just tough it out most of the time) but when I simply can't go any longer without sleep, I will take a Melatonin.  Although the next day, it takes me awhile to get it out of my system.  There should be a happy medium somewhere (ah heck maybe Patricia Arquette *is* happy, who knows?  lol)  See?  Bad pun alert.

What woke me up today?  Heaven knows!  I think it was the kitchen light being on.  Or maybe I just like to sleep deprive myself for fun. 

Here is a surprise-the cat woke me up.  ::)  Only this time there were two of them. Come to find out the food dish was almost empty.

I need something that's for sure. The problem is she does it so sweetly that it is hard get mad at her for it. Now, if she did annoyingly, then it would be easy for me to get mad at her. I did TRY to push her away but she kept coming back. I don't think this cat knows the meaning of the word "no".

Oh the horror!  Either we have to teach them how to work the can opener themselves or... uh... I dunno, I haven't thought up a viable solution yet for avoiding full-scale Cat food deprival panic.  Maybe I can rig up a cool Rube Goldberg-style contraption ala in Pee Wee (Herman) Big Adventure to feed the cat and I can still sleep.

Mine has done that, too-after her efforts to wake me up has failed.

Today, she didn't wake me up.  :o :o :o  However, at about 2-2:30, Carlos woke me up by yelling, "Oh sh!t". I said, "What?" He then went on to say how he forgot that someone (can't remember the name) was running and that he was going to be in the debate. (This was after watching the debate last night.) Yes, he was dreaming and didn't even remember it this morning. I am terrible, whenever he starts talking in his sleep, I talk back to him to get him to talk more.  :D ;D ;D  However, last night, I really didn't last too long at trying to get him to talk more because I fell back asleep.

That must've been pretty loud.

Thoughts running around in my head, and thinking the place I have to pick up the balloon bouquets on sunday is closed on sundays  :-\\

Daylight

I fell asleep with a headache on the couch, and woke up with a cat on my chest.!  She was kneading my jugular veins with her little bitty clawfree paws.  It actually kinda hurt but it was so darned cute, that I let her do it for awhile before I chased her off of me.  And that is what woke me up today.

Now I'm going back to sleep.  Verrrrry sleepy.

The young man who used to be my child, now he is my young man.  When did that happen    :-\\

sometime around midnight my daughter woke me up because she 'felt funny'.  I swapped beds with her figuring my husband could deal with things if she started puking!  More likely it was because she'd watched Dr Who before going to bed.

This morning (proper) it was my alarm clock - damn that thing is loud!

;D ;D

This kind of reminds me of my daughters.  They even argue in their sleep. ;D  The other night when they were both sleeping I decided to move my daughter Brooke who had slipped off her pillow.  She must have thought I was her sister because she said, "Stop it, Clarissa!"  Clarissa heard this and in her sleep said, "I'm not!"  I was laughing...quietly.

My roomate playing 20 questions. :P

first it was my alarm clock, then after 1 snooze button, it was Lady Di reinding me I need to get up early today

Re: What woke you up today?



The nurse. She said "wake-up!" .. "it's time to take your sleeping pill!"

:P :D

A brush of someone passing by the bed.

my alarm clock.

Cell Phone.  >:(

I swear, people call me in the morning just for a good laugh. I answerd with my typical "Guurrghhinfurrginshurrupyabaarrad" and flipped the phone shut.  ;D

That stupid cat did it again. I tried to push her away but like I said before, she doesn't know the meaning of the word no and was back again. I finally got up to go the bathroom. She didn't follow me back so I went back to sleep.  ;D



Cat

Again, nothing notable woke me up today. I just woke up naturally, just before 8 A.M. (after getting maybe six hours of sleep).

At 12:21, my mom woke me up through my door...


... Asking if I brushed my teeth.

my stupid self rolling over onto my thumb >:(

My legs.  They ache at the most inopportune times.  I wonder if I have restless leg syndrome?  It makes my pants want to get up and dance.  :\'(  ;D

My boyfriend woke me up and said that a lot of ants were surrounding a standing alone mini reeses cup in our pantry. I felt bad because I hope this wasn't what they were after all this time.  :(

I've been doing that a lot lately - waking up only after 6 or so hours and feeling fairly rested.

A f*cking rooster!!!!  Can you believe it?  My husband's alarm plays the rooster sound and I was thinking that it was his alarm, but I noticed that it was too quiet to be his alarm and that's when I realized that it was a distant rooster. ;D ::)  I got up and shut the windows and went back to sleep.

It sounds like it WAS a rooster outside!

My mom and dad used to have chickens (yeah I grew up in the country) so I'd have rooster wake me up all the time at the crack of dawn.  My bedroom was closest to the chicken house and that rooster loved to crow.  Now you know why I'm not crazy about chicken  ;D

What woke me up today?  I started coughing.

At exactly 9:00am, work called me. For most people, a 9:00am call is no problem, however, since I work evenings 9am to me is like 3am for everyone else. Needless to say I was supremely pissed and now have all my phone ringers turned off.

Natural reasons

a telephone call from the garage door company confirming an appointment to come out and service our garage door motor.

Thanks for your compassionate viewpoint ^ . Guess none of us are perfect. In the cold light of day you think  ... "what was the point of that  / why'd I do that!" ... yeah, we can all  act stupid at times.

:(

As for a 'power nap' ... I've seen people slumped over the desk at work in the past, for about 10 minutes, looking like they're asleep. I've tried doing it myself, but just can't fall asleep ... all I'm really doing is the posture, with my eyes closed, but the brain is really still ticking away. Guess you know if you really slept for that time, you'd probably be out for hours ... then out on your ear!  ;D

The realization of the fact that it was 11:30 in the morning.

My daughter asking why my alarm clock hadn't rung yet.  "Because it isn't due to ring for another 15 minutes" wasn't the right answer apparently.  ::)

The opening of a curtain.

Like yesterday morning-the cat. She is actually getting better. Lately, she will come up and just lay down on my neck and stay there for a bit before moving to the foot of the bed. She doesn't walk around on my head like she used to. But, she decides that I need my hair combed early in the morning and she will need my hair with her claws. In my hair doesn't bother me but on my scalp.  :o :o

A shuffling of feet on the carpet.

The need to use the restroom...just before 5 A.M.

The need for a thirst quencher.

The cat sounding the alarm that her food dish was empty.  Having fed the furry beast, I, then, fell back asleep on the couch, and woke up again when the husband was running the bathroom faucet at full blast.

My neighbor's car alarm.  >:(

I was just having a power nap this afternoon and the words Tim Henman on the television woke me up.

Nothing-I'm still asleep.  :D ;D ;D  No, I just woke up-after have a GREAT night's sleep. And no cat this morning. In fact, when I got up, I found the cat sleeping on the table.  ::)  (The cats are NOT supposed to be on the table.)

My stupid toe hurting.

It's the one I bust months ago, it's actually the bone in the foot that kind of.. joins the toe to the foot.. and it breaks so easily ever since I crunched it!  :(

the neighbors barking dog!  >:(

the neighbors barking dog!  >:(


^ You have my complete sympathy here, as I'm in the same boat, as I've said previously. Am expecting the nearby (200 yards? )Doberman's barking to penetrate my 'white noise' defences yet again. I reckon they must go away at the weekends, and leave it on its own as a 'guard dog' / to protect their property. Stuff the dog/ stuff the neighbours! A completely 'me me Me' selfish attitude .... people like that should NOT be allowed to own pets. It's very hard for me to do anything about either. Even if I can manage to get a local ranger to come around ... which is a feat in itself ... , odds are it will not be barking when they arrive ... even though it often carries on for close to a minute 4 or 5 times an hour. Totally frustrating/nerve racking/annoying as hell (anywhere from around 8am to 10.30pm) .. and this has been going on for several years now!  >:( >:( >:(

An extremely full bladder. And I was sleeping good, too. I think the cat came up to me earlier but I was so out of it that she didn't wake me.



Cat

I will let you all know when I go back to sleep again.

For once the cat did not anounce to me she was hungry, I actually woke up naturally on my own.

I was concerned about the cat because she didn't meow, is that weird?  So I thought she might have died, but she was ok, (just quiet for once)

I woke up early this morning, sort of needed the bathroom but had no desire to try and get back to sleep afterwards.

That usually happens to me around about 5am!

hey, me too! I could hardly hold it. ;D  Then when I tried to go back to sleep....both of my cats were bugging me (one was biting my toe and the other one was walking on my pillow). :D

My mom... for a second i thought i was 13 again and late for school as usual  ;D

When you're up,you're up.You don't want to go back to sleep.

Didn't even bother trying to go back to sleep. Carlos was already up so I figured I would get up, too.



Cat

Alarm clock, recently I've been waking up before it but today it caught me asleep.

I have the flying attack corgi for the weekend so I can pretty much guarantee what will wake me up tomorrow morning.

My neighbor's lawn mower.

The sound of a slipper been dropped on the floor.

At 5 a.m. the cat decided to wake me up-AGAIN.  ::)  Then after I fell back asleep, one of the cats got into something and there was a big crash (we still haven't found what caused the crash  :-\\ ). Then after falling back asleep, my neighbor woke me up yelling at her kids (the windows are open)-but that's ok, I'm sure we keep them up at night with our...um... :-X  ;) :D ;D ;D ;D



Cat

The sound of the wind blowing at 4am

the smoke alarm woke us up at 4 am....there was no fire...I think the battery is going dead. Then I woke back up to my cat clawing at my feet. :D

giant dog.

A voice very familiar to me speaking on the telephone.

my alarm clock ::)

My alarm clock.. 4 times.

A natural need

A natural need



Oh, You're one of THOSE.

Oh, You're one of THOSE.
Always at my age.

The Fire Alarm woke me up today

my wife. she said " hey hon, isn't it time for you to get up"?

the sound of my husband's voice.

First it was my husband telling me he was leaving to play golf.  >:(

Then the kids climbing into bed with me and fighting with each other.  >:(

;D

I woke up at about 4:00 this morning shivering, so I reached down to the bottom of the bed to pull up the comforter.  I guess I tried to lay back down the wrong way, because before I knew it, I was sliding head first out of bed.  I layed on the floor just stunned for a minute, and then I heard my husband say "did you just fall out of bed?"  I said "yes," and we both laughed for a good 10 minutes before I got back in.  ;D

Did you have an expression like the bunny kid.

No.  I couldn't even figure out what happened for a minute...and once I did I thought it was pretty funny.

It is.

The shuffling of feet.

my alarm clock buzzer at 8:20am and then I hit the snooze button for an extra 4 minutes and then the alarm goes off again & I hit the snooze again and again for a total of 6-7 extra 4 minute snoozes and finally got up at about 8:50am

Had to have an Austin Powers pee.  ;D

A painful sensation on back

the heat. :P

The telephone when having a power nap.

My neighbor screaming at her kid-and then the kid crying because her mother was screaming at her.  ::)



Cat

My bladder  :D

The gentle English rain at 5am this morning...

('Gentle' as in just about to hammer its way through the window pane!)

I got woke up by my cell this morning. It was my uncle Larry, he said he's going to come down and visit me in KC in about a month.

I'm stoked. He's one of the coolest people on the planet.  8)

The call of nature...

I spent a good part of the night trying to fall asleep, but couldn't seem to achieve the right temp with blankets. Either too hot or too cold, or mind ticking away etc; Finally manage to sleep, then the alarm goes off .... I HAVE to get up!  >:( :\'( :\'(

Bad gas (acid reflux) woke me up yesterday morning

Hearing a Herald shout, "Oyez! Oyez! This is your 6 A.M. annoucements!"
*thud*
"Whoever threw that boot is gonna be sorry!"

I am EXACTLY like that.  It's frustrating.  :\'(

Yes .. ^ ... and then you feel like crap all day .. and have to stop yourself from falling asleep when you CRAVE it! Anyhow, fortunately I managed to catch up on some this afternoon. Only had to show up for half a day today ... so that was good.
:)

The need to get on with life!

A cat trying to get into the window. To get into the window, he had to get past the blinds and it was the blinds hitting the side of the molding around the window that woke me (and Carlos) up.



Cat

Wake from another boat-several times.



Cat

nothing.
I slept 10 hours and so I just woke when it was time to....

nothing.

10 hours sounds sooooo good. Hopefully, tonight I will sleep that long.



Cat

The sound of water running in the bathroom

A cricket that jumped up on my bed!  :o

the sound of Vaughn's voice.

Besides the heat, a cat trying to nurse.  :o :o :o




Cat

Sunlight flickering through the window.

First it was a loud crack of thunder. Then 2 cats doing their "Little Shop of Horrors" act: "Feed me, Seymour!"  Then it was the phone, followed by the neighbors. I guess they were all telling me that I slept too late.  :-\\



Cat

The garbage truck.  :-\\

I'll tell you what it was yesterday.

A crazy sleepwalker.  First, he tried to pee on the laundry. then he yelled at invisible people, then he kept trrying to go down the stairs.


today it was my alarm...nice and calm and normal.

A sudden need to go

Vaughn, at about 8:30 am.

Kids...as usual.

Just woken up from a power nap. What woke me up I hear you asking? I just opened my eyes.

Birds outside woke me up today.  I swear, the noises those birds make could shatter glass

The brushing of someone passing the bed.

someone had to get up early on a saturday and bother me while i was sleeping.

The cat doing something at the window and Carlos yelling at the cat to stop-and the neighbors.



Cat

A strange noise coming from the hall-way, it was only my wife putting her shoes on.

Natural Reasons

The phone.

Ant

That *&^%(%$# cat being a pain in the neck-LITERALLY! She would curl up on my neck and start kneading and her claws would go into my neck. What a lovely way to wake up-NOT!!! (Her food dish was empty).



Cat

Somebody else moving around.

That cat again. At least this time she just curled up on my neck-without using her claws-we both fell back asleep.  :D ;D ;D

Can't that cat have it's own room to sleep in?

Can't that cat have it's own room to sleep in?



When she goes to bed, it is usually in her "kitty kondo" (her carrier). But she wakes up early and decides that she is lonely and want attention. So, she comes to curl up with me. Just about every morning when I wake up, she is at my feet sleeping. But, if her food dish is empty, then she just wakes me up. This morning, her food dish wasn't empty so she just curled up. The other has decided that my dirty clothes basket makes a great bed. She will curl up with me right after the light is turned off and after a few minutes, will go to the basket. Like the other one, she will wake me up when the food dish is empty.



Cat

A cricket was hopping around my bed when I woke up. I hate those things!  >:(

I believe the neighbors outside.

My hubby, asking me if I wanted a drink of water.

At about 3 a.m. I had to go pee. Then I couldn't get back to sleep because of the heat. I finally did close to 6. Then after Hubby got up, the cat curled up on my neck (yeah, the food dish was empty) and then the phone rang. Hubby finally filled up the food dish but by then it was too late-I was already awake.



Cat

This morning was so long ago now, I have forgotten what woke me up.

A bag flying across the bed.



The big question is, who let the cat out of the bag?  :D ;D ;D



Cat

A child with very cold feet because he refuses to sleep under blankets. :P

The radio.  8-P

I woke up with a tap on my shoulder, that will be the last time I'll sleep in the bath.

^ oh my, Phil. That's scary!

I awoke a few times, probably from just some slight noises.

^ oh my, Phil. That's scary!
Don't worry, it is a famous line from Spike Milligan

I woke up with a tap on my shoulder, that will be the last time I'll sleep in the bath.


Perhaps more commonly referred to as a 'faucet' (tap)  in the USA ?

That is true.

EWWWW, doggie breath.  8-P


I had a fur ball curl up on my neck purring in my ear (yeah, the food dish was VERY low). The last year or so, I didn't mind this too much but she is getting bigger and now when she curls up, she covers my face so I can't breath.  :o

Yeah, doggie breath is pretty bad but at least he was smart enough to wake me when he had to go.  ;D

I remember when Hunter was a baby, he was sleeping in this little seat I had for him and my cat must have thought it looked really comfy, so she curled up right on top of him, of course I removed her quickly because she weighed more than him and probably would have smothered him. 

my biological alarm clock.  ;D

The sound of shuffling feet.
