I find it hard to sleep last night, it was at around 1:00 in the morning when i finally fall asleep. I did not turn the alarm clock on at my usual 6:00 wake up time because i wanted to have a longer sleeping hours. But it was around 5:00 in the morning when my roommate's phone rang loudly that awakes me. I get irritated and just get up from bed and took a bath. I know i couldnt get back to sleep and i will be having a headache all day.

When I go to sleep at night, I don't have a problem if I get woken up. I guess being a mom, I am a lite sleeper anyways. But help the person that wakes me up if I am taking a nap in the daytime. I am terrible to be around if I get woken up from a nap. I get an instant headache and am in a bad mood for several hours. When I wake up on my own after a nap, I am fine.

Hi gdesjardin, I wake up almost every hour when my kid was just a baby and i dont have problem with that. If it's the baby then i dont mind. Its just after i go back to my usual number of hours sleep that i got irritated by any disturbances

When my kids were little I didn't have a problem waking up at anytime of the day. And even at night, I am fine to get woken up. It is just those daytime naps that kill me. Today my daughter woke me up after I was just sleeping for about 1/2 and I was so crabbie after she woke me up. I don't know why daytime sleep is so different than sleeping in the night, but boy, what a mood swing I have during the day.

I just get up and go to the person who disturbs my sleep. Walk while my eyes are closed. I don't sleep when I am in a different place or house. So I can walk even if my eyes are closed because it is my house. When it's my mom or dad, I just say "huh? or what?" in a low tone. haha. I'll be scolded if I reacted badly. If it is my brother, I usually shout. But to other people, no reaction at all. I just stare at them.

Straight face without speaking works. People would really feel it. One time, I was disturbed by my brother. He did not tell me why. So I shouted. Walked down from my room, with eyes closed. After that, I learned that it was my dad who asked him to wake me up. So back to being a good girl. hahaha

Hi Bluerain25, I'm lucky that I could enjoy my sleep late in the morning. For I usually go to my part time work in the afternoon. Therefore there is totally no longer any alarm clock setting problem for me. Yeah, earlier I had to wake up around six in the morning to get everything done nicely before leaving for the office. The forgetting of setting alarm clock would make me to wake up with a start in the middle of the night. I's afraid that I might late the following morning if there wasn't any alarm tone to wake me out. It's really annoying I had to leave my warm and comfortable bed and get the alarm clock set before I continued my sleep in the early wee hours. After finished doing the setting I felt rather energetic and I could hardly fall asleep again then. To avoid having such problem I always got the alarm clock placed beside my pillow, so that I could get the alarm set before lying down. Happy posting

Yeah Bluerain, it's true that I'm fortunate that I don't have to get up early. I believe most of us enjoy to have a sweet and long sleep. I feel comfortable and satisfied if I could sleep soundly the whole night without any disturbance until the following morning. And then awaken automatically without the disgusting calling from the alarm clock. I think most of the people nowadays are rather busy and have to wake up early in the morning to get everything prepared nicely before going to work. A full time housewife needs to get up early as well to take care of her schooling kids and working husband like preparing breakfast, and doing this and that. It's still lucky that we have weekends and every one could enjoy sleeping until late heartily in these two days once a week

Hi lkbooi, you are indeed lucky you dont have to get up that early how i wish i could live with that. But as of now i have to get to work before 8:30 so 7:00 would give me enough time to prepare. That's why i preferred to wake up at 7. 6 if i have some other things to do.

i think you only need a deep sleep ,not your body.... If your body also need to sleep for long time then ,no mobile ring can't make you wake up from your sleep.... I think it is better to sleep for long time if the body demands so......
• Philippines

Yes sinaj, the body demands sleep the problem is i couldnt just have that deep sleep. Even how tired i am, my mind is still aware that's why a little noise and i'm up already

Sleep is essentially relaxing mode of mind and body.Sleep plays a very important role in human behavior.If one does not get good and sound sleep in the night he feels irritated through the next day and it also acts on his apatite.As we give importance for the food we take so also we should give importance to sleep.A disturbed sleep is not only harmful to the sleeper but also to the person who wakes the sleeper.One gets mad if he is disturbed in the middle of his sleep. In this connection I remember my younger days of beating my young kids for disturbing my sleep when I was taking afternoon nap on holidays. I regret now. As I have grown old and as my children ,of course, now grownup and no longer are staying with me the question any disturbance to my afternoon nap and consequential beating does not arise.Of course if one is disturbed in the middle of his sleep he is not likely to go to sleep again for a long time as is the case with me

hi chayapathys, that's really bad beating kids that disturb your sleep. I remember my grandfather doing that to any of his granchildren who wakes him up not unless it is important then he can let it pass but most of the times he's irritably irritated also. Thats why we are very careful and quite if he is asleep.

It is so annoying to be disturbed when you are sleeping. Some people are just inconsiderate and they make the call anytime. If it is not urgent, it is better to make a call in a normal time. My mother's friend sometimes calls her in very early morning. Whereas it wakes up my family. This is so disgusting. I told my mom to let her friends to be polite and don't make a call so early. This is so rude. I love China

Same situation here, I was trying to sleep my normal hours of sleep but couldn't because of my little brother, who wanted to cuddle with me. Of course I let him cuddle with me, since he is only 6 years old, but he wouldn't stop talking. At all. I am normally woken up in the middle of night, but luckily I just fall back asleep right away. XD

It depends. If I'm having a really nice dream or I get to sleep very late at night then I will really be annoyed. Sleeping is one of my favorite activities. So its really irritating if someone messes my sleep. He/She will really get some earful from me.

I get super irritated when I get disturbed from my sleep. I hate waking up at before 10am. Especially when I have no lectures or tuition to teach. Therefore, whenever I have the chance to sleep late into the afternoon, I will make full use of it. Even though I will still be able to fall asleep after being awaken up, I still hate it very much as I find that it would be best to sleep throughout. Perhaps it is a bad habit of mine.

I should count myself lucky that I'm someone who can fall back to sleep easily no matter what happens or disturbances I get. I'm fond of sleeping thus nothing can wake me out of it, unless I really wanna get out of bed. But at the same time, I'm also quite a light sleeper, waking up at any slightest sound, so I guess that's kind of contradicting?

Yes Sanitary you are lucky, How i wish i was just like that

hi bluerain I am retired and used to setting my own hours so being here at all is not my desire but having to get up at six am just to eat at seven am is a drag, and now I have a ditsy roommate who is losing her memory and some of her mind too if you ask me. she sleeps all day then prowls at night waking me up then I just get to sleep and she does it again. I tried talking to her but its not doing any good. I use benadryl for allegries at night and that helps a bit but I do not get 8 hours sleep like i need..=Its b aloney that o lder people need less sleeep as I feel so much better when I sleeep all night without being woke up so much.

I know some people who hates being disturb while they are sleeping. It's funny to see their face when disturb but I'm afraid when they got irritated. Their moods are up and down the whole day.
