Waking a person up

I know that my fiance's sleeping habits is different then mine in that we could go to sleep at the same time, and yet he would wake up two hours after I did. I appreciate the response though and know that sometimes grumpiness is merely caused by a lack of adequate sleep.

I know that there are a few people who do not get grumpy from being awoken but I would have to say that that is mostly our mothers who are quite used to it as they have been awakened may times when they were raising their children. I appreciate the response.

I am sure that being a stay at home mom is tough. I want to be a stay at home mom if possible when my fiance and I get married and have children. I sympathize with your husband though as i know that working a night shift (as I practically did so) and then being expected to wake up after only a few hours of sleep can be tough. I know that when I was a little kid I never really snapped but was cranky because wel, I didn't want to go to school. I don't know if your children are of that age, but if they are that's probably atleast partially the reason why they are cranky. I know it seemed that I just went to sleep and was already getting woke up.

I hope that you can balance a time for yourself as well as that is important. I appreciate the response.

It is hard for us when he's on night shift. I know he's very tired and needs his rest but man on his days off to sleep from the time he gets home til almost 6pm (10hrs) the day is gone I have next to no time with him as it is but he sleeps what seems like all day and if I wake him he's all cranky. Despite the fact he can sleep whenever he wants when he's off.... I however do not have that luxury kids never nap @ the same time.

Well maybe you can work with him on trying to either stay up after coming home to spend a few hours with your or to wake up a little earlier. I think that maybe the best and easiest one is the former, where he stays up after getting off work. I know scheduling time to see each other can be hard, it was when I was working and my fiance wasn't, we hardly got to see each other and when we did it was all I could do to stay awake!

Happy Holiday Season!

Before having kids and having a full time job I did see him a lot less then I do now. But I also have kids now that take up a lot of our time together as well. It all works out but it can be frustraiting at times.

I am sure it can be,but I am glad that you have worked it out.

I think that you have misunderstood me. In the discussion I wrote "snap" not "slap" it's an honest mistake. In this context I meant as in being awoken and using harsh words. I am glad that you have not gotten slapped but I am sorry that you have given someone a slap before. I can understand that during exams you would not want to act out in any way as you would not intentionally want to go to sleep during the exam. I appreciate the response. Please feel free to correct me if I have misunderstood you.

I actually said "snap" and not "slap" it's an honest mistake though, and I know you meant no harm by it. I have apologized to my fiance for awakening him like that and also for me being very rude when he woke me up. I know that sleep is a big factor of not being very happy upon being woke up, especially too early. I appreciate the response.

Having a attention disorder I am sure makes it hard for some people to wake up. I hope that you can find a way to awaken him in the mornings or that he will get used to an alarm clock that is loud and will wake him up. Maybe if he could set his alarm and then hit snooze when it goes off, and then when it goes off again you come in to awaken him. I am not sure, I hope that my idea helps though. I can understand that especially in the morning when you are just awakening that it is easy to loose energy fast. I hope that this way helps you keep a little bit of energy to last you through the morning at work!

I appreciate the response, Have a wonderful day!

thank you for the tip. BUT, we have tryed that already. He simple do not hear the alarm clock, or nor the phone. I have had help from the staf of habilitation where we getting a lot of help from in every thing he has to learn. This disorder is also extended with having autism. So we have to work a lot, for a lot of things, in order to keep him working properly in the society. However, I feel he will be in need for help even as a grown man. I think he has to have a personal assistant in the future. I have almost given up, since I can not seems to find a god way to make him wake up on his own. I am glad though he do not make a lot of noice about this, since he knows that if I do not wake him, he will wake up and be late every day.

It is good that your son has learned that he has to be awoken in the manner in which you do so that he is on time to all his tasks that day. I am glad you are getting help from others in teaching your son how to fit into society. I went to school with a boy with autism, I knew a friend online who had autism, and also my fiance's mother babysits a precious little girl with autism as well. Good luck in your future and the future of your son. If I can be of any help in researching for you I would be glad to assist.

Have a Wonderful Evening.

Well I am sure you have not threatened your mother to be beaten up, but I know that you have given her mean looks and cover your head when it comes to your mom waking you up. I've heard stories of a friend's now wife trying to wake you up and you throwing stuff at her because you are not ready to wake up. I know that you like to sit in bed for awhile before waking up so that is why I try to wake you up a little and let you cuddle with me and go back to sleep as I think that it helps you wake up a little faster. I appreciate the response baby, and I also love you! Happy mylotting and good luck with your goals here!

Yes I know that when I am sick and someone wakes me up I am more cranky because when your sick it's not so easy to go to sleep, coughing and sneezing and sore throat and all.. mostly for me it's sore throat oh and sinuses. I try not to snap, but I agree that sometimes it's just your state of mind, and you don't mean to.. I appreciate the response.

I can be a grumpy bear but most of the time no. Good to know your husband is easy to wake up, mine (fiance) isn't hard to, he doesn't snap so much if I am patient with him and let him doze off for a few minutes, but if I persist he gets pissed!

I mean as long as it's understood that it's non intentional then there's no real problem with it. People can't help whether they are angered or not when awakening. One person above said it had to do with psychology, and something else that I can't recall at the moment. I don't think i've ever been anyone's alarm clock, except for myself, and maybe my fiance. I appreciate the response!

If it is very reasonable for you to wake up a person then try to wake that person.
I myself get irriteted when my husband wakes me up early in the morning where in I don't have anything to do for that day. So, anyone should also consider the reason of waking up that person. If that person I am waking up will still be get mad at me and even slap me, since he or she has something to do for that day, I would also get angry an dbe impatient. Huh! I am helping him. That a nerve! hahah
