I Will Surely Beat Them...

Hello Dassodils, How are you? Hope your studies are going on well. I think you are lucky as you could sleep long hours till this age in your life. I remember, in my childhood, all were up on or before 6 am and there is no exemption on holidays. If you fail you get up for any reason at 6 am the water treatment will be there for sure. So I used to get up in time, am not sure whether I get up in time due to fear (lol) but I felt it is a crime sleeping after 6 .00 am until there is any genuine reason (in case of sick or didn’t slept at night for any reasons). No I am away from the native; in this place the life is different. I am enjoying the late sleep in holidays. Here the problem is, I am a responsible mother which prevents me to sleep as much as I want.

I love to sleep and if I could sleep all day I would. I do have 3 kids and A wife and a job so I cant to that. I work second shift so sometimes after the kids go back to school I go back to bed for awhile but I try not to so I will sleep better at night. I dont get mad if people wake me up because if they do then I probably should be up anyway.

Firstly, six hours of sleep isn't a long time. An adult should be having at least eight hours sleep per night, and children and teenagers need even more sleep than this. That might explain why you feel as though you need to sleep more than you are doing, and would explain why you feel as though you need to lash out when you do wake up. Remember that your family just want the best for you, and don't want you to waste your life in bed asleep when you could be up and out and actually doing something positive and productive with your day.

Normally on week days I will get up at 7:15 and get out of home at 7:50, catch the train of 8:19 and get down at 9:45 and in office at 10:00 (30 mts. late in office). This is my routine timing and on Sat & Sundays, no body will wake me up and if got any morning job, I will get up accordingly. However, if I found I need to leave early, I will get up accordingly. I will sleep late only if I require some morning work. On holidays and week-ends, I will get up as and when I wish. Day-before-yesterday, I didn't get sleep till 3:30 early morning. I went to bed only 2:00 and couldn't sleep till so long. But I got up again at 7:30 and reached office at 10:00. Why I said it - if we really have something to do at specified time, we will plan it accordingly. And if we found no work at all, sleep long is the habit. Even I prefer to sleep upto 9-10 in the morning. Last Sat & Sunday, I got up only after 11:00 only. So it depends - but if someone trying to wake you up, please, please don't angry with them. They feel they are responsible and you should respect their value. They love you and they them self feel it is their duty to wake you up after a specified time. Why don't you understand it? Thank-s

Children and women should have at least 8-10 hours sleep at night to stay healthy. You sleep way too less. Your sister's behaviour is childish. So my advice.. wake up in the middle of the night and do exactly what she is doing to you, each hour she falls asleep again you spray her in the face or empty a bucket of water over her face without saying a word. An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth! Disturbing someone in his/her sleep drives crazy, the brains need the rest (in dark and silence) otherwise your health will be harmed seriously sooner or later. Tell your uncle not to call you (it it's by phone shut it down) and stay out of your room. A bedroom should be private anyway. If I would behave like you? Yes I would, I would be very annoyed if you disturbe me in my sleep and no of my kids or relatives would ever do that without any reason neither would I.

i used to get up early everyday.ever since i went to the college ,i have learnt to sleep for a long time. one of my roommate can sleep for all day. my parents would allow to sleep for almost 9 hours

Have you spoken to them, rather than in anger, about this? That you like to sleep and would they please leave you alone? When I was young I would sleep away the week ends. My mom didn't care and I had no siblings. I think that people should respect one another and unless you have responsibilities that you are shirking to sleep then they really have no business waking you up.

Yes, I also hate being disturbed when sleeping, but, I do not wake and beat up people, :))), maybe you should lock the door more often. :)

I am a person that really does like to get my sleep and I really don't like to be disturbed when I am sleeping, but I'm not one that will fight someone when they are waking me up. Yes, there are times that I won't answer my phone in the mornings because of the fact that I don't feel like I'm done sleeping. I think that the reason that I don't fight when I'm waking up anymore is because of the fact that I do have kids now and they might need you at any time, day or night.

Hi Dassodils: Oh my lord hahaha You have remind me a lot to my little sister. She is like you on this aspect. She hates when people wake her up even if she knows there's a reason why she has to be early. She just forgot it for the moment and gets angry. ALVARO

It's a normal reaction to be very angry , when you are fast asleep and then somebody wakened you up. It's your resting time and you really like it, so anybody that will disturb that sleep could indeed be given a reprimand. As the saying here in our country goes, "You can joke to a drunken person, but not to a newly wakened person.".

I used to get very irritated when people used to wake me up early on weekends or during holidays but not to the extent o beating anyone. I would just be annoyed. But now that I have a lot more responsibilities and because of child, I don't have the luxury of sleeping late any day of the week. As for your family not letting you sleep late on weekends or holidays, you should let them know that you don't have any deadline to meet or something important to do so you can sleep late so that they don't wake you up early and that way you won't need to beat up anyone...

Actually Dassodils, everyone needs at least 8 hours of sleep everyday. For me, long sleep means 10 hours! Trust me, I've done nearly 18 hours once and it was a normal day before, no reason to be tired. Everyone hates it when somebody wakes them up. My brother used to do it to me for fun and I never got too angry. Instead of that, I got my revenge by waking him up every hour in the night. I would select a heavy metal song in my iPod and put the headphones in his ears (Pretty smart, huh). And he got really scared and I was watching the whole thing, laughing my head off!
