Sometimes, because its really irritable when someone demands on you and that you haven't fully awake knowing they knew you did sleep very late at night.

I am usually very pleasant when i wake up. I am rarely in an irritable mood at that point of my day. It usually takes more circumstance and effort than just waking up to cause my irritability.

@saratafuri It is usually my mother who wakes me up every morning and i don't really get angry at her unless she talks loudly at me early in the morning..

I need to have an alarm clock, because when someone wakes me up I get really annoyed at them as if they were being mean haha. Even if I ask them to wake me up. Therefore I always use my phone or something. and yes i usually am irritable. I enjoy a nice slow, relaxing morning.

It really irks me when someone wakes me up in the morning .... worse is when they come with a questionnaire.In general i'm not too good with those who wake me up in odd times especially in the midnight.Great day.

Hmmm ... that is quite surprising to hear from you, Sunny, especially since every time that I have woken you up at "odd times" you have seemed quite cheerful.

@sunnycool Well, a questionnaire would definitely be one way to ruin your morning.. Yeah, I hate being woke u in the middle of the night too, or when the sun isn't up yet..

My boyfriend is like that and it's really annoying. He has an extreme case of it, because he will act like a child if anyone wakes him up, even if he has to go somewhere. I am surprised that he manages to have a job with that attitude.

@sashakiddo why don't you tell him how you feel abut hid attitude.. so he would knw and try to change it. Or you can let him be for a while so he would know that it is a bad attitude especially if he becomes late in his appointments.

awwwww i can't imagine my boyfriend with that kind of attitude. but if he was and continues to be like that no matter how many times i tell him not to, i would probably yell at him and smack him to awaken his senses! maybe there is just some stimuli that aggravates him in the morning?

I think I wake up in a good mood most of the time. Maybe it's because when I first wake up, I don't get up, instead I snooze a bit more. But when I am rudely and prematurely awakened, that's when I get cranky! :D

Actually, before I go to sleep (when I used to go to school), I'd conditioned myself to wake up at a particular hour, usually one hour and 15 minutes before school hours. I set my alarm in a way that I can still snooze for 15 minutes. ;)
I am quite OC, so I don't like waking up and having to rush for school. :D
Best of luck on your studies! :)

Hi there. This used to be my attitude when I was not yet a mother. But now that I am, i discipline myself not to be the person that gets irritated fast. I have to be more patient. Even how tired I am, I always make sure I wake up with a positive thought so i don't get irritated easily.

No, i am never irritated when i wake up because i have a fixed time to get up and i have never deviated from it in all these years.I also never get angry as i am a very cool and calm-minded person.Even if i get angry it will be just for a few minutes as i cool down almost immediately.If you keep anger within you for a long period then it can affect your health, both mentally an physically.So its best not to react but stay cool, calm and collected.

Oh, so you have a lot of responsibility around the house... I don't really have that much to do at home, i only do chores and go to school for now.. Which is why sometime i am lazy especially when i Just woke up. Maybe I'd mature when I grow old enough..

It all depends on when I am woken up and how I am woken up. If there is a good reason for being woken up in the middle of the night, such as my little one is sick, then it does not really bother me (other than being concerned that she is sick, of course). If I am woken up early, but it is done nicely, especially if there is a cup of coffee in hand, then that is alright as well. When I am startled awake (like with the bed being kicked or screamed at or something like that), then that tends to put me in a lousy mood for a while at least.

I'm the same way. I don't feel like I have any "me" time. I mean, my kids come in and wake me up and before I can even get out of bed they're asking me for all kinds of stuff. Now, yes, I know that's normal...that's what kids do...that's what mothers are for. But it still irritates me and starts my day off crummy.
If I've gotten a good night's sleep, it not as bad. But that RARELY happens! It just gets overwhelming with all the "can I can I...mommy, can you get...mommy, can you make...mommy, where's my..."....*scream* I totally understand.

If I am woke up before I am ready to be woke up, than I can be slightly surly early in the morning. It is just one of those things where it does take me a little bit to really get mentally going in the morning, but if I get up right away, on my own accord, on my own terms, it only takes really slightly less time for me to get mentally going. If I am pulled out of my sleep before I am ready to get up, then yes, I can be slightly irritated. And by slightly irritated, I mean very much so. I can be a real bear when pulled out of my slumber prematurely.

It all depends on whether I sleep soundly or not.If I woke up with less than 7 hours of sleep I am usually cranky. My mood does not persists though. I can easily bounce back from a sort of "moody morning".
There are some days that I wake up cheerful as a bird. I guess it will depend on your personality.
