Waking a person up

It depends on the situation. The kids don't really snap they are just cranky & tired and need a few mintues to wake up. Though the hubby when he works night shift he's a cranky crabby guy and give you grief especially if you wake him before his alarm goes off or on his day off. But ya know I get mad because I'm a stay at home mom and I want a lil help and a break from the kids. I don't have anyone else to really rely on beyond dh to handle the kids when I've just had enough & need a break but I don't need to get chewed out for it.

Hi SomeCowgirl. I struggle with waking my son up every morning. He has the disorder of ADHD and it affect him waking up. Having hard time to sleep in the evenings make it hard for him to wake up. So Every morning I have to find a god way of waking him up. I start six a clock every morning and during this time I have tried everything like shouting, picking, tickle and it take him about thirty minutes to actually step out from the bed. I have use half of my energy in the morning, I actually need at work. Since my son know how it is, we really do not argue about it. He steps up and do his stuff, and then the next morning we do the same again. ( by the way he is 17) We have tryed to sort this out. But the conclusion is he will always need someone to wake him up, even when hi will live by him self.

Hi there Cowgirl. The thing is that this is a psychological fact that if someone is woken from his sleep (during a sleep cycle) they will become angry or disorientated as the mind was doing something else on that moment - that is why it is better to wake up on your own in the morning when your mind decides to, not when others feel like it. Personally i am not very happy when someone wakes me up and i may become grumpy if they don't have a good reason to do so.

I think everyone wakes up differently and it also depends on how they are awakened, in a deep sleep or dream state about to wake up, etc. When my sister and I were teenagers and in school, my mother actually paid me $1.00 a day to wake my sister up! Man, was she a deep sleeper!!! And dangerous, too! The only way I could wake her up was by getting a washcloth wet with really cold water and throwing it on her face. Then, I'd make a beeline out her door because it never failed... the washcloth would come flying after me! Oh, she screamed! She hated me! But, it woke her up faster than any alarm clock could! I'm hardly ever cranky when I am awakened like that. I'm more disoriented than angry. Whaaa...? Huh...? I'm typically a very light sleeper so it's really easy to wake me up. My husband is funny. He sleeps like a log! When he asks me to wake him up, I have to try several times, getting a bit louder each time. He wakes up pleasantly enough but usually goes right back to sleep and doesn't remember waking up. When he sets his alarm, it wakes ME up, then I have to wake him up to turn the darned thing off!

i havnt got slap from my friends but i gave nice slap to my friends... but i am a very hard sleeper. so my friend will pour water over me to wake me up.. but t\during my exam times i wont fo anything to them

What you need to keep in mind is well the person was asleep lol... sometimes someone wakes me up and i get up i know i gave some trouble before i got up but what im clueless... Sometimes i would have snapped or said something like "go away are you blind im sleeping" =P or even push the person away like im on something... i've never recalled doing that... i do recall when i tell a person ok im up and i have no intention of getting up lol... Also depends how much sleep the person got that night, i get up just fine when i have a good night's sleep... it is the nights where i keep waking up, or just could not sleep since my mind would be racing with a million things... All these things and perhaps other reasons as well could contribute to a person bing a "grumpy" person when you try to wake them up... Hope that helped ;)

Usually I wake up on my own. It seems that I have an internal clock inside me and I wake up roughly at around six o clock in the morning. When I oversleep its my wife who wakes me up with her screaming. Usually I am too stoned to protest. © ronaldinu 2008

i have a friend like that if you wake him up he will be mad so i never wake him up even if the house on fire he is so rude when you do.also my som is very mean when you awaken him up being very smart mouth so i don,t even talk to him in the mornings period he have nothing nice to say to anyone.if iam awaken iam fine i just don,t want the phone disrupting me, when iam asleep it scares me.so i turn down the volume to rest and leave my cellphone on for emergencies.

I'd understand them when they snap at me although I haven't experienced it.I snap at people sometimes when they wake me up.

I would definitely be offended if the person snaps at me especially when I am saving him from being late. I would not bother to wake the person up unless "reminded". However, if it is accidental, too bad. It was accidental and not intentional. LOL.

if someone wakes me up, i am like 'what or huh?' and usually go back to sleep unless i really need to get up for some reason.

When waking someone up you have the opportunity to influence their whole day, I try to always be very aware of this and very gentle when waking someone. think how much power this gives you. You can make their whole day WOW

Whenever my sisters snaps at me, I'd tease her more and wake her up by shouting at her or shaking her bed really really mad. Sometimes i feel guilty waking her up that way coz i think it will make her have a bad day; but i could not help it because she really is hard to wake up.

When I have to wake someone up, and they get a bit snappy, I usually find it funny. The way they yell incoherently, and flail their arms around just looks and sounds so fuuny, I can hardly help but laugh. Now, once in a great while, I will get irriatated with the person, espescially when they have asked me to wake up, and they are being difficult.

No I don't get offended... i usually laugh at them lol i know its not fun to be woken up and if they are snapping it probably means they really haven't gotten enough sleep lol but i'm easy to get up.. although its not smart to talk to me in the morning... like don't even say hi to me. lol i just really don't like talking or being talked to when i first wake up... and i will snap at you lol but my mom knows i don't mean it and she is always having to tell my dad that lol so if i have to wake up someone and they snap at me.. it doesn't bother me at all because i know how it is and i snap at people so it would be stupid for me to get offended over it.... seeing as i do the same thing

I do not get annoyed, I guess the only time I would get annoyed is if I am not feeling well, and my husband will wake me up to answer the phone, when he could really tell the caller that I will call back. When my husband is taking a nap I do not wake him up because of a phone call. I will tell the caller that he will call them back when he gets up. On the norm, neither my husband nor myself usually wake up cranky. If I call my husband's name while he is sleep and he doesn't answer, I will go away and come back a little later. He disturbs me more than I disturb him

Usually I am not offended if some people snap at me when I try to wake him/her up, because it seems natural to me for anyone to get a little annoyed when being waken up from a sweet dream. Actually, for such reason I do not try to wake up people much. But on the other hand, if someone snaps at me when I wake him/her up on their own behalf, such as when he/her is going to be later for work, I will feel really offended.

Sometimes I get offended if things like that happens. But I learn a way to wake somebody's up in the right way. That is to tap or move their feet. I have try it and it wakes people up easily and they didn't get mad. Maybe you should try it out. Experience makes us better.

It is good to have someone to wake you up. I still remember when I was a child, and have to get up early in order not be late to school, my mother would wake me up gently. Now I am alone and working in another city far away from home, I miss the way my mother wake me up.

its hard to wake up early to go to school, I remember when I wake 5:30am to get the bus, then trip to other city to study. in the beginning, it was hard, but after 5, 6 months it was OK. but its hard do wake up people on bad mood, or the ones that don't have a good sleep night.
