I always wake up about 5 minutes before my alarm on work days (0445) and it infuriates me.

Alarm on my phone, although I normally wake up a few moments before and put on The Doors instead. Much nicer.

I find that is always the case. You set an important alarm and wake up 1/2 an hour earlier

I'm one of those people that can wake up when the want need to. I set my alarm for 6am every day under the hope I'll get up and go running. Every day I wake up at 5.50am, switch the alarm back 45 minutes and go to sleep.

I wake up to silence. Absoulte, blissful silence. Then my alram clock goes off. And I want to cry. Because waking up with silence is so peaceful.

I have most the god awful alarm clock that has that standard bell sound when it goes off. It doesn't pause and do this sound in any kind of rhythm; just an extremely loud BBBBRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG. It's horribly jarring; I actually stick it under a pillow to muffle it a tiny bit, because otherwise it's like a jackhammer going off next to me. But it's the one alarm clock I really trust to wake me up.

At one point, a fricking woodpecker or something drilled a hole into the side of the house RIGHT BEHIND MY BEDROOM WALL and decided to lay eggs. I like animals very much, but these stupid baby birds would start chirping for food at 5 in the morning and wouldn't stop until the afternoon. I piled pillows and blankets on top of my head, pounded on my side of the wall to try and scare them; they would not SHUT UP. We had to call animal control or something to take them away, or maybe they had already gone, but the hole was sealed and I could sleep again. Except now sometimes I hear a bird start pecking near that exact spot and I know the little SOB is trying to drill another nest behind my wall. I have to pound my fists raw on the wall to scare them away.

The war-cry of the retreating garbage truck; that beep beep beep in the mourning.

Justice - Stress. From my cell phone. Its the only thing that wakes me up.

Here it is for those who don't know. Volumes gotta be loud to.

I mean the wording...

SHE was boning her BF

What would you use? Couldn't use the obvious word. Screwing implies the same act as boning. Getting laid doesn't work because from what I heard she was doing most of the work. Yeah I'm going to stick with boning.

Is it me or doesn't boning more or less imply the 'male' part?

Technically yes, though in slang generally I use it as a term for bumping uglies.

There are othre words to call it but boning usually only works from a male perspective otherwise it leads to people thinking the wrong thing...like just now.(me included)

On good days, my sheets rustling. On school days, Triple J. On bad days, the cat, mewing and clawing at the window to come in.

Recently its been the rain and wind. Bloody winter.

My first alarm clock. Then the second alarm clock. Which i have to get out of bed to turn off, except i snooze them.

I do that about 3 times, then i hear my sister moaning about why my alarms keep going off.

Usually my dogs barking at a tree.

Varies, sometimes it's a dog barking outside, or my dog barking at someone who isn't there inside, since he's friggin' senile, but more often than not the first sound I hear is the one I make, whether it's rustling the sheets or whatever. I work nights and as such have accustomed myself to be a very heavy sleeper. Don't even block out the light in my bedroom anymore, I could probably sleep through a tornado (I've actually slept through a mild earthquake.) I don't use an alarm clock since they don't work, although usually if I'm about to oversleep my mind wakes me up. And I mean that. I'll actually have a dream of myself telling me to wake up, and I will.

My dog sniffing at my door, wanting to get in. I love my dog, but at that time in the morning, my feelings toward him are less than friendly.

Well, I think if she was doing most of the work, it's called riding.

Voice of experience here.

Beepety-beep beepety-beep beepety-beep...

Then the voice in my head crying and whining because I'm still 3 quarters asleep.

I hear alarm clock, followed by girlfriend getting into out of bed and into shower, followed by dog charging into my room to attack me.

Alarm clock. Then I turn it off, turn on my laptop, and put on Life of Illusion by Joe Walsh. Because I'm a tool.

To be honest, I don't really hear anything, I tend to wake up far too early like fourish then just try to get back to sleep.

That goddamn static-y click of my alarm clock waking me up (it's set to turn on the radio). After 4 years of that sound waking me up at 6 in the morning to another shitty day at school, it has trained me like one of Pavlov's dogs. Every time I hear that noise or something like it I jump and feel depressed. Really, even if it's not my alarm clock or even in the morning.

I recently replaced my old alarm clock which I used to hear every morning with a clock radio, it is way better to wake up to.

My alarm clock, which I set between radio stations to produce that annoying static noise, wakes me up every time.

Labyrinth:
Just lately? Construction work on my house, beginning at 6:30am.

*Twitch* Urge to go postal.. rising..

They must be targeting girl gamers...

I do miss the, "click, click, click," of my dog's feet on the hardwood floor...
Or, if she's hungry, her gentile bark, or, if she's grouchy, her literally pushing the side of my bed. She's kinda a small dog, but her bouncing against my mattress like some sort of awkward pushup is very alarming.

Ussualy its the loud alarm on my mobile phone("voices" by Disturbed). Either that or the radio alarm clock my mum uses. Nothing to wake you up in the morning than Chris Moyles!

my alarm clock, it gets louder if you don't turn it off quickly and sometimes it will wake others up before it wakes me.

Country music if I'm on the same schedule as my dad, though usually I wake up to total silence. On a number of occasions however, I've been awoken by the smoke dectors going off.

I currently hold the household record of reaching the first floor, three seconds.

Until the recent freezing temps: The Somewhere-Outside-My-Window Cricket Orchestra. Starting performance at 1am, with the concert lasting 4 hours, and the chance of an immediate encore lasting until 8am.

I once lived in a house under the take-off path of SFO. That was easily more bearable than the crickets, who sound just like alarm clocks.

Usually the sound of my dog jumping onto my face. I could sleep through the noise of next door being demolished if nothing moved me.

MitchBeaudry:
It varies. Sometimes it's a car starting outside, sometimes it's my alarm, it once was my former roommate boning her boyfriend so it's never really been consistent.

So it's a she, but she was boning someone...

I just 'sploded in mah mind.

Anyway, my door opening, then my mom coming in.

6 am wake up call by my neighbors disgustingly loud engine. He payed to have it made louder, thats like paying to have your underwear enlarged. All show and no package.

I'm just used to it now.

Well the first thing I hear is the alarm clock (then I turn it off)If I even wake up that is, The next thing I hear is my mum stressing me to get up (30 minutes later) and then it repeats about 2 more times with 10 minute intervals.

The funny thing here is that I can fall asleep for half an hour and then wake up and not realizing I fell asleep at all, I remember the last time when I sat on the side of my bed and the clock was 10 past 8, Then I hear my mum going down the and stairs telling me to get up and that I'm late, I respond saying that it's only 10 past 8 and i keep saying that.

When I finally look at the clock I stared at it for about 2 minutes, It felt like I jumped forward 30 minutes in time or something ^^. I also sat in the exact same way as I were half an hour ago.

My watch alarm and then the horrid depressing moan of my thoughts telling me to get up.

DAMM YOU EARLY BUSES!!

The intro to "Tears don't Fall" by BFMV.

It starts quiet and then it gets loud. Just great.

Conversely, I have a CD of 45 minutes of thunderstorm & rain which I use to get to sleep.

I have the habit of sleeping with my door open so in the morning my dad wakes up and he thinks i don't want to wake him up so early (he wakes up at 4-5 for work) So he slams my door to keep quiet see the problem there
