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?

Our neighbour’s newspaper delivery!
We live at the end of a close. They live sort of beyond that. A kind of close off a close, so the paper van stops outside ours around 6am.
Screech of breaks, followed by a door slamming.
Then a 3 min break while the driver walks to deliver the paper.
Then door slamming again and revving of engine, followed by a whirring sound as the van reverses.
It is soooo annoying! Not so much during normal times, but now with the lockdowns I try to sleep in a bit to pass the time.
Luckily these neighbours are moving, but it’s taking ages though, as they don’t use the internet. This is why they still buy a physical newspaper.

Hubby’s morning erection prodding me in the back

Monday to Saturday - DS16 getting up for school. Or DH shouting at DS to get up and go to school.

Sunday - nothing!

14mo DS usually bashes me in the face. Good morning to you too!

Kids, usually fighting.

If anyone who is woken early by needing a wee is up for a small experiment, I have some suggestions.

Go on then

Usually my slipper but now and again a Doc Marten dropped on my head by my stealth dog. He silently sneaks upstairs about 7ish and finds the closest item to the bed and with one bounce he's off the floor, landed beside, looming over me with shoe in mouth which he then drops on the only bit of me sticking out of the duvet.

It's quick reflexology, I need to draw and explain. So I'm only going to do it if there's any genuine interest .

My alarm on a week day. My stomach rumbling at the weekends.

Oh yes please do

Baby DD chomping at my boob. The joys of co-sleeping!

Either DH kissing me goodbye on his way to work or his erection on weekends .

"mummy........daddy.....Mummy...Daddy..MUMMY...DADDY...MUUUUMMMMMMMMY...DAAADDDDDDYYYY!

All in the space of around 15 seconds.

My 4 year old needing a wee

Our 3 year old, whispering "wakey wakey it's morning time"

The cat punching me in the face

Oh my god I couldn’t be more thankful after reading this thread that my kids are older and I don’t have pets (not ones that are noisy or demanding anyway)
On a work day my alarm wakes me up. At the weekends I wake up when I wake up. Happy days!

@Bourbonbiccy- that took me back 17 years... 🥰

I'm not going to lie, We love it !! We would love it more if it was a little later than 06.30, every single morning, but hey ho

I can't remember the last time I woke naturally instead of being startled awake by DS screeching. I don't need to bother setting an alarm

Today my cat woke me about six times between 4am and 7am by clawing my back trying to get under the duvet. It was too cold to get up and shut him out.

DH when he's here.
When he's not I usually just wake up naturally or with an alarm if I need to be somewhere. Sometimes one of the children comes in for a snuggle or to bring me tea.
