What wakes you up in the morning?

[LivingInAPrettyWorld]

Every morning I'm woken up because I need a wee

It would usually be an alarm clock before I started working from home.

What wakes you up?

My 1 year old

Impending doom

@EmmaJR1

This everyday... sometimes at 3am at the moment 😡

Awww.

TRY to enjoy it, soon passes 🙁.

5.45 alarm unless I'm on a night duty.

I'm not really sure I can answer the question as I'm barely sleeping so I don't feel I'm 'waking up'. I 'woke' at 3:30 this 'morning' WIDE AWAKE for the day, it was about 1am when I got to sleep. So about 2hrs...best sleep I've had in about 10 nights 🙄🙄

Definitely needing a wee too - woke up at 6 am because I needed a wee, I refused to get out of bed so therefore didn't really sleep properly. Alarm went off at 7.30

My little Yorkie jumping up & down on my head.

DH 's explosive sneezing.
He is always up before me and I can hear him sneezing downstairs.

My 2.5 year old telling me he’d had a wee on his potty at 6am. He’s usually up for the day then and every morning I try to get him back in bed to no avail. Today, boom! He went back to bed and gave me a lie in till 7:45!

Ball off fluff stretching on my bed, otherwise known as a cockerpoo.

Traffic. My house backs on to a main road and traffic is 24/7 but it peaks around 8am and thats as good as an alarm clock for my brain.

I wake naturally. Can be any time between 5.30 and 7.30.

Stress.

(Though this morning, it was the cat bringing in a bird that we managed to rescue.)

Either anxiety and a flurry of panicked thoughts or my alarm. Either way, I start ever day feeling worried.

Dogs wanting their breakfast, if i'm not on a night shift.

The need to pee

DH bringing me a cup of tea at 7.15 just before he leaves for work. He's a fine man.

Worrying about work - adult and child safety, a sense of responsibility for getting this right, meeting demanding needs, keeping up with masses of new guidance...I work with schools

Same OP, always need a wee. I did go back to sleep though this morning!

My bladder - every couple of hours.

Usually knocking on the door. We get a lot of things delivered for our business, and we're right at the start of the delivery round for Hermes, which is who they use, so we get a nice early wakeup call most days! I do sometimes go back to sleep for a bit, though.

I automatically draw the short straw of having to get up and open the door, because DP sleeps with nothing on, and our delivery drivers will only wait a maximum of 1.25 seconds before deciding there can't be anyone in - despite the time and the fact both our cars are there - and taking the package back. So I have to jump out of bed and leg it downstairs!

Depends on what's going on.

Anxiety about work and am I doing enough.
Dreams (see above).
Needing the toilet.
The heating coming on at 6am.
An owl.

Of all I much prefer being waken by the owl!

Anxiety wakes me up about 3 am
The need for a wee gets me up about 6.30 am

Next doors bloody music, when I want a lie in, or trying to sleep after a night shift.

I'm naturally a morning person but if I dare to oversleep past 6.30

I feel little kitty paws on my shoulder and a 'waaaaaaaa' in my ear.

If I do not respond she then walks across my face.

If that doesn't work she walks across the drawers and on to the wardrobe knocking things off.

Then she starts again on the shoulder with the 'waaaaaaaa'

By this time I normally turn over and give her a neck tickles.
