Gosh, today is Sunday, and last night we had a big snow night. I went to bed late because I watch DVDs all night long, and I just want to stay warm and cozy under the blanket for the whole morning. This morning, my friend called me around 8:50 A.M., I just can't believe he call me just want to ask me to grab something to eat for breakfast and lunch. Officially called it brunch. I refused him nicely because I am still in a sleeping mode. Come on, today is Sunday, and we suppose to be lazy from a week of work right? Also, I work at Christmas night too.

hi, phone calls in the morning will ruin my sleeping, so sometimes i didn't answer those calls, and continue my sleeping..

Hi kingparker, I solved that kind of problem in my house a long time ago; I turn down my ring on my landline phone, which many people don't have anymore, so the only time I know someone, usually unsolicited business, is if I see the red light flashing announcing that I had a new message. As far as my cellphone call, I do answer them because only the people, mostly family, whom I wish to speak to have that number. I refused to give the caller my power, so I took it back and now I can ignore or reply.

me too... it is so annoying to be awaken from our deep sleep by a phone call... especially if it is an unimportant call... i will be very angry if that happen to me because i will have a headache if i have to wake up suddenly from my deep sleep... but if it is an important call, then it is OK... take care and have a nice day...

This is annoying to have someone to call me in the morning to wake me up. However I rarely had this incident. Well few exception here, if there's something urgent then I can still tolerate it. I like sleeping so I don't like someone to call me in the morning, especially on weekends. I told my friends just to send me text message and I had my mobile phone in silent mode so I can reply or call them when I wake up.

I can understand that it is so disturbing for a call to wake you up in the morning, especially when you have a day off. You are lucky that your friend just called you around 8:50 am. My mother's friend ever called us quite early. I wonder whether it's 7am. This is really inconsiderate. Perhaps the elders can't sleep for a long time and usually they will wake up so early. But it doesn't mean that she can expect others wake up as early as she does. I love China

I also hate it when people ring early in the morning, as most of the time it is nothing that could not have waited to tell me later in the day.We hardly get much sleep due to our son not sleeping.I think just because some people are up early it do not mean that we are all up.

Sooooo get an answering machine and screen your phone calls. If its important they will leave a message and you can get back to them when you feel like it. Thats what I do.

When the phone rings early in the morning, it always makes me feel some dread. Because of the grandparents being so old and I'm afraid that something might happened. So I have to answer it. When its for something that is absolutely not really important, that does make me a little upset to say the very least to say the very least. So really, do not call me until a certain time unless its an emergency. I tell the people I know this but they do have selective listening.

I'm so sorry about your sunday experience friend. Here is nearly the same every day, even in the weekends, but not with phone calls, with our neighbors who repair all the time something in their apartments. It's new building and some new people come to live here, so they are preparing their apartments for living, but do they has to be so noisy? I'm dying here when they start working with their machines around 9 or 10 in the mornings, because every night we got to bed after midnight and we wake up in the afternoons if our neighbors don't wake us. It's awful. Why don't you try to turn off your phone, when you go to bed early? This is how your friends won't wake you up if you don't want it.
