i can sleep though a nuclear bomb so my mom pours water in my nose

honestly, i just got a "hey, get up" through the door, i wake pretty easily t someone speaking to me.

when i was in the scouts, we had a guy wake the troop up by singing country songs, loudly, horribly out of key.

My dad used to run into my room, flipping the lights on and off as he sang.... loudly.... and poorly.... ><


And that Clocky is freakin funny xD
Though id prolly end up sleeping through it half the time.

My younger brother could sleep through almost anything. The only way my mother could wake him up was by tickling his feet. Worked every time until he kicked her in the face...then she moved onto water over his head.

I once slept through an Earthquake. Was probably the most relaxing sleep I have ever had.

I have been doing some research on this (very serious research mind you ) and I ran into these very effective... erm, ideas .




Does it... kill you?




You could disable the snooze button... or your could...




This is obviously Frazzled's worst nightmare, and would be shot on sight .

i can't decide if that should trump that i once dozed off at bristol motor speedway mid-race.....

I feel happy i get to wake up by myself.

Sleep? Who needs that?

A simple shout from across the house usually got me up. I had to wake my little sister up. She got pissy when the light came on. Then, we moved up to alarm clocks.

The risk of permanent hearing impairment don't mean much for some, eh?
As for me, never had to go through anything like that as alarm clocks have been able to fulfill their purpose in all but the most extreme cases.

I currently use my nintendo DS's alarm clock function. I have slept through that on 2 occasions and just thought I was dreaming it, for the uninitiated it is normally a VERY VERY effective alarm clock.

When I was a wee lass my parents used to wake me up by taking the cover off my bird's cage, who would then proceed to sing it's little heart out.

the only out of the ordinary one i recall was while staying with my aunt and uncle, i was about 14 and had been playing computer games until the small hours, so i had slept through the alarm. My uncle put my PC on, found the sound bite he required turned up my pride and joy sub/speaker system...(does anyone one remember encountering The Butcher in Diablo 1?)....and i was woken with terror...pure terror as the butcher from the game i had played for hours (and probs. dreamed about) grabed my feet and shouted VERY loudly "AHHH FRESH MEAT!" i do believe i almost died of fright that morning....needless to say every morning there after i woke with the alarm

Your uncle is awesome.

I want to get it and grandpa's navy stopwatch, starte the timer and let loose by RustyElTigre. I'm thinking it would be in very very small bits within 12 seconds.

I sometimes talk in my sleep, so when I was at home my mum used to wake me up by opening the door and telling me to get up.

Sometimes I would still be asleep and answer her only to be woken up 10 minutes later when she came back past my room and saw I was still asleep.

Never really had any problems getting up. Only ever really ever gone back to sleep after turning off my alarm a couple of times.

I remember once my friend played 'Gay Bar' really, really loudly in my ear. That got me out of bed faster than Frazzled after spotting some kids on his lawn.

I have a nice warm Black Pussy jump on me at 6-7AM every day wanting to be stroked and fed.

Here's a Picture of her on my bed naked:











Now get your mind out the gutter!

Too junny, Jim.
Is that a banana in my ear or are you just happy to see me?

My grand daughter (23 months old today), if my wife lets her, will climb onto me, hitting my back repeatedly, screaming "Pops! Get up! Get up, Pops!"
Once I wake up, I just lay there any enjoy it for a while.

Back on topic:
I don't have too hard a time waking my kids up. Never did. Once they understood that any threat made by me while trying to awaken them was not an EMPTY one, it was easy street.

"You've got 10 seconds to be standing, or I will pour an entire cup -one of the BIG ones- of cold water on your head."

....They might press it to 8 or 9, but they get up.

My son thought he "had me" once. I hit "10," and he waited until I was gone to get the water, then got up. I thought about dumping it on him anyway, but got a more sinister idea.
The next time I came in, I had the water in my hand already.

SURPRISE!!!
