I am in the middle of divorcing emotionally (sometimes physically) abusive h, long marriage etc. Finally got my act together end of last year but still living together.
I went to bed st 11.30 and at 12.30 he came in and started shouting at me very close up, pulled duvet off me, calling me unrepeatable names, pushed my shoulder into the bed, ddc (teenagers) woke up and asked him to stop. He then hit me across the face. He followed me to another room and continued going on at me.
I am now in another room, can’t stop shaking and don’t know what to do. He is still awake as I can see the light under the door.
My youngest dd 14 is very vulnerable (CAMHS) and hates this and I am so worried now.
Would it make things worse if I called the police now? In the morning? What would they do? I can’t do anything until he is asleep anyway.
Any thoughts or wise words?

What will happen if I call the police? I don’t know what to do?

The "55" thing isn't any good if you're calling from a mobile they have no way to track your address.
You could register for the text service but I don't know how long that takes.
I think really you just need to somehow get to a place where you can call 999 give your info as quickly as possible
So you ask operator for police (it's bt operators that answer in the first instance)
They'll transfer you to police I'm trying to think quickest way maybe
"Help Domestic violence attack, 45 smith st nw15 5ts" house no, street name and postcode is enough info to find you and us the information you want to get across first & clearly. If you're able to stay on longer they may ask you to.
Regarding his permanent removal from the home I've read good stuff on here & elsewhere about these people
https://www.ncdv.org.uk
But it will depend on the legalities of ownership etc
Please get safe ASAP 
Please do call the police as soon as is safe for you and your DC OP, you cannot control his abuse, tonight is further evidence of that and his loss of control, and that makes him dangerous, especially with your children in the house.
Photograph any injuries and write down on your phone (if he does not have access) what happened, or write it down here on this thread so you can refer back for the police. If it's not safe to call in case he hears, can you text someone who will call for you? I would do this in a heartbeat if a friend text with this info.
Where are your children now? If you feel you have to wait until the morning I would want to be near them, stay in with them until morning, reassure them that you will make the house safe and have the police attend as soon as you can, and to show them his abuse is not normal behaviour or ok. Do you have someone IRL nearby who can help? A backup plan or accommodations for you and the DC if you need to leave?
It's hard but hopefully doable OP, you might be shaking but you are clearly strong. This will not be your forever, or your children's 
Oh OP I hope you're keeping safe. Did you ring the police in the end? You really don't have to think twice about this as it's a no brainer.
What your children are experiencing isn't healthy at all. And like a PP said earlier, you need to show your children you're trying to put an end to this. Please make that call
