What is the most annoying thing to ever wake you up?

Perimenopause night sweat trickling down my shins.

A few years ago we were woken by the most horrendous noise, it sounded like a bomb. When we got up to investigate we found that the glass shower screen door had exploded into thousands of tiny pieces, completely destroyed, the noise it made was incredible. So glad no one was in the bath or shower at the time.

Idiot in the flat above mine. Stomping downstairs at 5am and then revving his motorbike engine for ten minutes before driving off. Oh and the awful loud music he played all night.

Same after a few coughs I start looking at the nearest cloth to catch the vomit

I live by the sea, so it’s ruddy seagulls screaming at one another! In the summer, they are barely asleep at all so they are squabbling all night.

When DS was young, the worst sound in the small hours was “mumeeee, I feel sick”…. Followed by the noises😵‍💫

Shrieking drunks laughing like maniacs coming out of the pub, and then screaming Ta - rah at each other when they decide to go home .

The sound of my cat coming in through my window with a muffled prrrp, signifying he is bringing in a gift.

The sound after that of said gift being released and chased about the house by my cat.

The sound of crunching biscuits after that, signifying my cat had got bored of chasing the mouse and now left it, possibly fatally maimed, somewhere under or behind something.

I once woke up on the floor after my DH kicked me out of bed - I wasn't happy and said rather indignantly "Why did you do that" yo which he replied whilst still asleep " I thought you were a hyena" , I then sat upright in bed rather confused - luckily it hasn't happened again

What wakes me each and every morning, without fail, is my bladder.

I hate it. No sound intrudes on my sleep, because I'm hard of hearing and wear hearing aides, so the Cold Stream Guards could be practicing at the end of my bed, I wouldn't wake up.

But my bladder? Regular as clockwork, Wakes me at 7:20 without fail. And then has the temerity to take a good 10 minutes to empty. By which time I'm wide awake. Bastard 😁.

My teenager asking me to open a RING PULL tin of beans at 2.30 🙄

It's either my bladder, the cat, next door slamming his front door, or over the road starting up his ridiculous boy racer engine. All happen before 6am.

I was woken by a searing pain on my bum - thought it was a bite from a mosquito, managed to swat it away, started to doze off and got another one, tried to squash it and realised it was bigger than a mozzy, so I crunched it under the sheet, and then flung off all the bedding in case it was a spider.

Was two wasps stinging me on the bum, turned out we had a nest outside the bedroom window. DS had 9 of them follow him into the shower the same day!
