Well if the sleep is good,I would prefer to be left in peace, but I wouldn't get mad or anything if it's very important or something that just couldn't wait. My baby is always allowed to wake me up because she's the boss, so I can't get mad at her,but I'll get pissed at my husband if he wake me up and don't want anything; and he does that for no apparent reason. I just yell at him and fall back to sleep.

I agree. I absolutely HATE to be woken up when i am sleep. I am such a grumpy bear when i wake up on my own let alone someone else waking me up. When someone does wake me up I usually grumble, halfway yell, and then tell them i dont know (that is the typical answer to any question when my sleep is disturbed) and leave me alone. I work the night shift 7pm to 7am and i usually sleep from 9am to 4pm. People think it is okay to wake me up or call me cause i am sleep during daytime hours. They think i am lazy and i should be awake. I try to explain that i work 12 hours overnight in a hospital saving lives, but no one really seems to understand. But thats okay, i just put my phone on vibrate and ignore the calls, and if someone one actually physically wakes me up, they will feel the grumpy bear wrath. lol.

I don't like someone is disturbing me when I am sleeping. I would yell at that person and scold him or her. After that,most probably I cannot get my sleep anymore. I would stay awake and I would keep on scolding that person. Lol. This is my habit,so everyone is beware of this. Never disturb me when I am sleeping.

For me, it definately depends on the situation. Most of the time I know when my husband tries to wake me, it is important. I am Insulin dependant Diabetic, so a lot of the time if he wakes me while I am sleeping, it is to see if I am alright or to check and make sure I took my Night Insulin as I should as well. I do tend to get mad if it is for no reason, but most of the time, I know he is just looking out for my best interest as well.

Honestly speaking no body from us wants to be disturb in tight sleep but its defend how the person approach you .. the way she/he disturb you... sometimes we have to consider some situation before we react or exaggerate reaction regarding the person who was disturbing you .. there maybe might an emergency or something !

Hi there miraclefreebies!
I do not want the idea of being woken up while I am in deep slumber especially if there is no special reason. If it is very important, fine. But if it is not, I would probably go ballistic! 
If I am tired and I would like to rest and re-energize by sleeping and someone disturbs my sleep, I might end up cussing and would be in a really bad mood. People who know me well already knows this. That's why they are very careful in dealing with me when I am in this state.

I prefer sleeping alone in my room,when I am too tired.Some times I locked the door too,so that no body could disturb me.I don't like creating a scene afterwards,if somebody disturbs me while sleeping.

I usually grumble and not bother opening my eyes. I don't turn to the person who woke me up then I just ask, "what?" then force myself back to sleep. When I'm tired, the person who woke me up is gonna get hell from me. LOL. Haha.
Yeah, if it is important, we have no choice. But if it's for nothing or something stupid, then it's war. XD

I'm used to be awakened either by my dogs or my kids. Like tonight, right now it's 4am and I was woken by my son who wasn't feeling well. last night one of my dogs decided she wanted to go outside an hour after I fell asleep. I'm not a good sleeper at all, maybe I'm just so used to being woken up that I just expect it now.
My husband knows not to wake me up if I'm sleeping because once I'm awake it takes hours to go back to sleep and I can get really grumpy.

if someone disturbs me when I was in a deep sleep, I react according to the place where they stand and wake me up.... If they stand near my leg, they will get a nice kick from me.... rather when they stand near my hands, they will get a good slap from me.... So, the person who knows me very well, they won't wake me up when I sleep....

If there is one thing that I love in this world, it is my sleep. I love to sleep for long hours and nobody, nobody is allowed to wake me up till i wake up by myself. I really get pissed off when someone wakes me up especially in early morning.When I am done with my 7 hrs of sleep I wake up by myself.
During my earlier days of marriage my wife had some problems because of my sleep and even though she was a new bride i used to yell at her she woke me up (As i said earlier I love my sleep). But now she have understood that I will wake up when I complete my sleeping hours.
So what are your sleeping hours? What happens when u don't complete them or you over sleep than your normal hours?

If there is something important that have to be dealt with and I am tired at present,I will try to sleep lightly,or ask someone else to wake me up when I have to get up to deal with it .But if there is nothing ,I will get bored when someone interrupts my dreams.However ,I will not get angry with him /her,I will just show how I am feeling .Of course ,if I want to have a good sleep ,I will try to leave me alone .The problems is that I am always waken up by calls of others .

I have a hard time getting sleep. I wake up easily if there's a flashing light or loud noise somewhere. I guess my senses are very alert even when I sleep. So if someone makes so much ruckus that I wake up, I get irritated and let him or her know the next day. But if it's an emergency then I'll be out of bed right away to see what I can do. :) There's always a time to get mad and a time to just take things in stride. :)

I hate being awaken when I am trying to rest. It gets me really irritated. I just look at whoever it is doing it and tell them that I am trying to sleep and turn over. If they keep it up, then I will get angry at them and tell them to leave me alone. I'm not a happy camper when someone does that. hehe

That depends. If he really have something important to tell me, I won't get mad. But if not, I will look up at him without a smile on my face, saying, "I'm tired and sleepy, you destroyed my dream, and now my head aches." After that, I will be back to sleep again.
