What do you wake up to?

[ozraven]

The sound of running water, and the radio down low........

I roll over and watch my lady shower, some days we run late....

I wake up via a quiet alarm at 5:45 to get my last child up, fed and out the door by 6:15.

My younger son (who is now married) is a very heavy sleeper and we finally found him a special alarm clock when he was a teenager. It was shaped like a rocket ship and was so DAMNED LOUD it practically woke the entire neighborhood. It would start 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 LIFT-OFF (sound of rockets roaring) and then scream "GET UPPPPPPP!!!!" If you didn't shut it off, it would wait a few seconds and go back through the whole cycle again.

I'll bet the neighbors loved that.

a local Classic Rock station, my favorite "DJ" for the last 19 years.

Like some others here though, I tend to wake before the clock radio goes off. (cursing under my breath)

I wake up to a scary-as-hell alarm clock buzz. If I am not scared out of bed, you can pretty much count on me spending the better part of the day sleeping.

Two, sometimes 3 days a week. Listen to horrible, awful alarm with Tranquility. Help her poke the Man. Get up, get up. Go back to sleep after he goes to work. Roll out when the alarm goes off AGAIN when its time to get the boy off to school. Aggravate the hell out of the boy until HE rolls out. LOL.

Two, sometimes 3 days a week. Lay curled in bed with Him. Wake up when i wake up. Get out of bed at His pleasure. *ahhh*

The other days. Sleep in, at home. I hate alarm clocks. LOL. But I love my days with my family. So its all good.

I have my digital alarm clock set to go off at 4:45am, which I never hear for some reason; another windup alarm clock set to clang bloody murder at 5:00am, which I must turn off in my comatose state, because I have no recollection of ever turning it off. Strangely enough, the one thing that wakes me up is my phone alarm which is set at one beep and not even at the highest of volumes. Go figure.

I have an alarm clock. I don't use it unless I am tired and don't want to be waking up wondering if I need to get up...

My bladder calls me. Get up! Go pee! You are going to make a mess if you lie here much longer!

It works everytime.

 

[Sillyman]

I wake up from nightmares to the dawning realization that I wish I was back in the nightmare.

What do you awaken to? Have you had a favorite alarm clock/sound in the past? Is there somthing new that you want to try out?

My current alarm clock plays teh 'bells of notre dame' it's the most annoying fucking thing lately. Totally cool when I bought it, and now I almost always wake up before it goes off so I can hit snooze at the first indication it might start to make noise.

My kids usually crawl in bed with me shortly after I hit snooze. We have our morning snuggle, and then the day begins.

Olliver wakes me up at precisely 6am every morning by scraping one particular cardboard box that sits by my bed. He is saying "please feed me, mama!" I sleepwalk over to his bowl, fill it, and get back under the covers. He eats a few bites, comes and gets in bed with me to cuddle until 8am when he paws my face so I'll wake up and let him out. Then I go back to sleep until I feel like waking up.

I usually wake up to two hungry children trying to get my attention. Usually by screaming. It's not pleasant.

 

[Star of Penumbra]

Typically I wake up at some point during the day to a silent house. Not really much reason to get up when you lack both a job and a mate.

 

[nitelite33]

I wake up just in time for DOOL...
