Worst Wake Up Ever

[JUMBO PALACE]

I once woke up to my great grandmother who is 102 years old screaming her head off about "letting her out of here."

She had a urinary tract infection which was causing hallucinations in someone of her advanced age. She had been mumbling about hooded men and apple orchards in my living room for a couple days before this happened.

On the floor of someone's hallway, licked awake by their dog.

It was a nice dog, but not what you want of a morn.

I have a cat and when she sleeps with me in the morning she usually knocks stuff over to wake me up. I have this shelf like thing jutting out from my wall behind my bed and I put an assortment of items on it. So one morning I'm woken to this shock of pain in my face, my cat had dropped two heavy hard-cover books right on top of my head. Lets just say she doesn't do that anymore...

My cat sits on my chest and pats my face until I wake up. Its not so bad, but a but of an annoyance especially when its 2AM and he wants feeding.

This may not be the WORST, but it did just happen to me about an hour ago.

First: my alarm is on my computer. It wakes me up with an mp3 file picked randomly from my library. I have a lot of orchestral ambiance so usually it's pretty soothing, but today, the song it picked was this one:

Which, while awesome, has that noticeable guitar shrill right there at the start.

I'd only slept for an hour, and I was having this not at all scary but very emotionally charged dream, and suddenly that rips through at max volume (way to go MJN with the surround sound speakers), and a couple of things happen.

My dream-mind transforms the shrill into a scream and uses its special dream-logic to terrify me. My cat, sleeping next to me, freaks out and darts away, scraping claws into my chest as she does so. And my heart doesn't so much pound as spasm, this really awful arhythmic lurching and doesn't stop for almost a whole minute.

Ahh, man. A little lame, I guess, but jesus I was spooked. My chest still feels really weird.

Hi son, your father has lost the fight against cancer.

By getting my breath knocked out of me in kyokushin camp i woke up with an axe kick to the chest for 7 days straight.

I was at a music festival last weekend (Pukkelpop for those who care) and on the last night I thought I'd try and get quite a bit of sleep so I could be productive when I got home. I ended up going to bed at 3:30. Imagine my frustration two hours later, when, I was woken up to the sound of Belgian guys lighting fires outside of my tent (we were camped by the pathway) and shouting at the tops of their voices.

Then it got worse.

After finally getting back to sleep, I woke up again an hour and a half later. This time it's to the sound of booming house music coming from what could only have been the campsite's PA system. Thud, thud, thud, thud.... "Fuck," I thought, "they carried on the party until 7am? Those bastards."

I was livid! Less than 4 hours sleep and waking up to the sound of thumping bass and high-pitched, jerky sounds, aka NOISE, that seemed louder than any of the bands I'd seen over the weekend! Fuck trying to get back to sleep, I thought, I'm gonna get up and get ready to leave. So I open my tent and the anger is invigorated. Outside I see one guy - one prick - dancing about with his boom box! All along it was this massive, massive shit playing the "music" turned up to eleven, and I'm pretty sure not one other person appreciated what he was doing. There he was, dancing around oblivious to the fact that he's a dick, playing this total shite as if it were a service: no one can imagine just how pissed off I was with that twat at that moment.

Now, of course, I can laugh at it and appreciate his spirit. I mean, kudos to him - for all I know he slept through the whole festival and realized he needed to quickly get his moneys worth before being kicked out at 12. It just goes to show, though, what lack of sleep can do to ones tolerance. Anyway, that's my story of the worst time waking up. What a dick...

I've had 3 pretty bad experiences...

1. My 6 year old cousin diving onto my bed at 5am yelling "WAKE UP! SILLY SLEEPY"

2. The next night, Above cousin had tampered with my Alarm clock setting it off at max volume at 1.20am and I was having an early night because of the night before.

3. My last but far worst wake up was in the halls of residence at university, (at least 100 miles betweeb me and my cousin) the fire alarm was set off at 4am, its a proper loud one that fills the room with flashing red lights that only proceeded to add more panic on top of my existing panic. I must have screamed like a girl... >.<

Fell asleep with the remote control to my stereo in my bed.

Woke up my cat vomiting 2 feet away from me...on my bed.

 

[Imbechile]

LOL I happens to me a lot actually, although i ony cun circulation to my wrist and only to 4 fingers

 

[Outright Villainy]

Waking up yesterday with my entire arm numb. I mean I literally couldn't even lift it up, let alone move my fingers, and all the feeling was gone. That was scary...

My mum woke me up near the middle of the night just after a very small earthquake in Britain, which we never get. She woke me up to say 'did you feel that'. I just really, really did not care and i was so tired. The gods only know how she expected me to feel it even though i was asleep.

When I was little I woke up because I rolled out of bed and fell down. There was no carpeting on the floor, so that made a nice *thud* sound too. It freaked out my dad but I didn't even have a scratch on me.

I'd had a late night and a nightmare. I woke up with my cat sleeping on my face, rolled out of bed and stepped on a moist hairball that he had tactically left on my floor. I was barefoot.

Your little story just made me laugh out loud! Your wording made my day and therefore you deserve a stack of cookies:

Spoiler: clicky

Try being woken up by my little brother, who is THE most annoying kid this side of Xbox Live.

Christ Al-fucking-mighty. >_>

Edit: This happens several mornings in a row, as well.

Was he ever admitted to a psychiatric ward in Ontario?
I remember when I was admitted to the one in Kingston (Ontario), there was this kid and EVERY morning at around 06h.00 I SWEAR TO GOD he'd come screaming down the hallways with a couple of his mates and push me and my roommates' door open and yell "WAKE UP GUYS! YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE!" and pretend to throw a grenade in and blow up and that shit. I kept waking up with a huge jolt, but one of my mates on the other side of the room had PTSD and every time that happened he woke up and screamed and started crying. Poor guy.

Peace~

Probably this time I woke up with a fever and was shaking uncontrollably. It had never happened to me and it was like shivering when you're cold so I thought I must have been cold. So I tried to get more blankets and shit and it didn't help. Instead it got worse and the shaking became more violent, at which point I got to freaked out by it and had someone take me to the emergency room.

I was awoken today by my friend calling me from a roller coaster, it reminded me how pathetic my summer was T_T
