Mine is waking up to voicemails/missed calls because of that. Waking up to a phone call is usually reserved for "oh fucking goddamn I overslept for work."

It's been about 4 years since I got a 5a call from my little sister telling me mom died. I still get my heart racing when I get late night calls, especially from my dad or grandparents

Heard my dad get a call at 2am back in 2009 when I was 9. I heard him shouting over the phone sounding really sad then getting up in a hurry out of the house. Only to realise my Grandma passed away. I was super sad and I felt so sorry for my dad because he was orphaned from his dad at 6.
A couple years ago I was woken up at 1 in the morning by a call from my sister. She had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and was living alone with her three kids. I flailed around trying to answer it, still half asleep. When I finally picked it up all I heard was screaming and what sounded like things being thrown against a wall. I was yelling into the phone but getting no response. I didn't stop to think (If I had I would have called the cops) I threw on some shorts, grabbed a gun and drove twenty miles to her house speeding the whole way. When I got there the house was dark with no signs of anybody being awake inside. I almost broke the door down pounding on it only to have my sister answer it, half asleep and completely confused as to why her brother was standing outside her house in the middle of the night wearing only a pair of shorts and holding a gun. Turns out she had left the TV on with her phone sitting on the table next to it. Somehow it had called me and the sounds from the TV sounded like someone being killed. Still freaks me out to think back on all that was going through my head from the moment I got the call until I arrived at her house. That kind of adrenaline rush is something I could do without.
I have my phone on automatic "Do not disturb" mode. But it rings if one of my favorite contacts (Mother, brother, best friends) call me more than twice in a row.
Fuck, that brought back some bad memories. A year and a half ago, I get a phone call at 8:30am from my panicked, crying girlfriend who choked out the words "My dad just died". Fuck, it wasn't even my blood relative and that was a terrible day.
I had my phone to vibrate whenever I received a text, but it would ring in the middle of the night if someone called me (I figured if it was so important that they'd call, it would be something important.) I never received a call until one morning at about 6 AM.
It was from my sister. I'm in instant panic mode. It's 6 AM on a Tuesday morning. Is she ok? Mom and Dad? Grandparents? Aunts, uncles, cousins? Calm down, she has early classes, maybe her power's out and she just needs a place to straighten her hair or something...it might be fine.
I pick up the phone and answer it. No response. Did she just pocket dial me or something? Then I hear her crying in the background. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
It was a few seconds (felt like forever) later when she finally told me our neighbor had just died. We were pretty close with those neighbors. His daughter was 2 years older than me and the closest thing I had to a "friend" in the area that was my age. She was like a sister to me. Still a cunt (like my actual sister), but I couldn't be too picky. Her dad was like an uncle. I didn't see him too often, but he was a nice dude and we were always joking with each other or playing pranks.
Losing him was kind of hard, but man that was probably the best bad scenario that could happen.
I do still feel bad to this day because I didn't go to his funeral. I could have easily went, but told my parents my accounting professor would not allow me to miss his exam unless it was actual family. There wasn't even an exam until 2 weeks later.
Honestly, whenever I've been woken up by a phone call it's usually not anything important, just like a wrong number or a telemarketer... then I'm just really irritated because I'm an insomniac and there's nothing worse than having my few precious moments of sleep disturbed by some useless phone call. Ughhh

Oddly, not at all for me. I go to bed at like 4am and sleep till sometimes 1, as I work nights. Friends often call me at 11 to go get lunch, work will sometimes call me at like 9am for stupid random reasons, etc. I can wake up to a phone call no problem.

Lol I feel bad now.
When I was in high school, I was having a sleepless night and decided it would be a good idea to call up some of my friends to see who's awake.
Many answered worried and I was like " wut the hell just calling to say whats up" and they were annoyed. I didn't realize the extent until now haha.
I've only been woken up once in the dead of night by my ringtone and it was far from the worst sound I've woken up to, in fact it was brilliant.... The following conversation ensued:
Me: "Ughh (yawns) hello?"
Friend: Hi, how's it going?
Me: Ummmm....OK I guess, you?
Friend: Not too good, I'm in hospital...
Me: (Suddenly more awake) Shit! You OK? What happened?
I see what you did there! Or did I? Oh God I hope I didn't. I'm pulling the covers over my head just to be safe.

Yes! When you're in that half-daze when you wake up and you don't know if what you're hearing is real or some sort of dream. There's that moment of drowsiness that quickly turns to confusion, fear, and panic.

I woke up once to glass breaking, I was half dazed and grabbed a large glow stick from the night before, and made my way downstairs to get the attacker.
Turned out the dog knocked a glass off the side, but I would have been fucked if it was a human.
My cat has scared me a few times. We have a porcelain parachuting Santa that hangs off a curtain rod, and my cat has been trying to get it for two years. When he misses, he hits the window or scratches the wall. Not cool, cat.
It's much cuter than I imagined. Then again, I couldn't exactly imagine it, which is why I asked for a picture. :)

Especially if you live with family
I imagine it to be much scarier when you live alone. With somebody else in the house you can at least calm yourself with the thought that it was just a family member accidentally breaking something.
Plus, maybe it's just me, but the mere thought of not being alone in a situation gives me more security, even if I know that whoever is with me will not be of any help.
Depends. As a guy, I'd be more scared for my family than me. By myself I wouldn't worry about anything but myself

Actually had the window right next to my bed break at 3am one night. I was half asleep, froze waiting for something to happen, and then bolted because I was a tiny teenaged girl at the time. Got my dad up and he checked it out. Thought I was full of it until we saw the cracked glass in the morning.Turns out there was something off with the foundation of the house and the shift was just enough for the glass to start giving on my window.
You hear it, wonder if you actually heard what you thought
Just like a blood curling scream. Gotta love exploding head syndrome.

"His fears had been ever since growing upon him. He had been trying to fancy them causeless, but could not. He had been saying to himself --"It is nothing but the wind in the chimney --it is only a mouse crossing the floor," or "It is merely a cricket which has made a single chirp." Yes, he had been trying to comfort himself with these suppositions: but he had found all in vain. All in vain; because Death, in approaching him had stalked with his black shadow before him, and enveloped the victim."
Open the safe on my desk. Retrieve the device inside. Point it towards the door. Scream "I know you're in here, and I'm armed. Any attempt to come upstairs will be met with deadly force. Get the fuck out of my house!" While fiancรฉ grabs the shotgun out of the closet and racks it loudly for good measure.
I don't give a fuck what they take. Shit's replaceable and I have insurance. But, he comes upstairs where there's nothing of value besides her and the two kids... Guess I'm not getting my security deposit back.

I was awoken by rain once at 3 am. It sounded like footsteps on the stairs and I stayed in bed scared shitless..the door open till I realised it was raining.
I was about to post this. About 15 years ago I was living with a roommate in a townhouse in a not so nice area. Two in the morning on a weeknight there's a crash and I immediately go into hyper adrenaline mode flying down the stairs. Someone had thrown a brick through our glass sliding doors that went out to our back patio. I don't know if the intent was to rob us and they got scared and ran off or if it kids fucking with us but it was pretty damn terrifying.
Same. About 15 years ago also. I was 17, home alone, parents across the country. Sat in bed clutching a garden tool for a while, then went to investigate. Two broken picture windows and two bricks on the floor. I called the cops, but they didn't show, so I flagged one down in the street. He was busy going to tell someone to turn down their TV, so he forwarded the call. Two hours after the smashing, a cop showed up and basically insinuated it was my fault for something drug related. Never found out who did it.

That's how our town home was robbed while we were out, so I wouldn't be surprised if they intended to. They threw a chunk of concrete about 6in in diameter through our back patio door. Our dogs were penned in the kitchen where the patio door leads and we were fortunate that they weren't hurt during the ordeal.

Dude... if you are so poor you can't afford a $50 bed frame, any "sword" you have is, at best, what is referred to as a "wall hanger" and in no way should you entrust your safety to using it defensively.
Oh god this happened to me. I was sleeping in my room with a broken foot and there was this loud glass crash noise and it scared the shit out of me because I couldn't do anything so I had to wait for my parents to check it out. I was so scared for a solid minute.
Turns out the bathroom mirror fell down and shattered.
You'd be better off not searching your house. Stay put and barricade yourself into a room with your gun trained on the door while you call 911. Your stuff is insured, why risk your life more than needed?

This. I sleep with our bedroom door shut and locked and I swear I heard a window in the next room shatter. It's 3am and I wake up my wife and grab this huge knife I have. I'm debating if we should call the police or not. I wake up my dogs too. Heart is racing. Finally I say fuck it and just barge out of the bedroom door with the knife.........and of course it's nothing. A few seconds later the freezer drops a fresh batch of ice out of the ice maker and makes the same damn sound that just woke me up. I felt so dumb, but I still couldn't go back to sleep.
/u/PirateKilt is lying bed after a long day. Tossing and turning among his many pillows, he searches for the cool half of the pillow. He finds it on the bottom half of a pillow he had unwittingly kicked off. Finally his eyes can no longer stay open. He knows he is about to pass out, he opens his mind to the concept of rest, then suddenly, KLLCHHHH, Glass breaking. \u\PirateKilt jolts up. He considers the weapons he might have within reach. A handgun in a safe downstairs, a knife in his desk one room over, and a baseball bat in his closet, feet away, alternatively, he is on the second floor, the window screen can be punched out and he could jump down to some bushes, his phone is at his bed side, and there are many places to hide. What is the next step?
He wakes up further and reaches to the side of the bed where the Speedvault is bolted, quickly keying in the code and retrieving his S&W5906 as it pops open. Rolling out of bed he tosses the phone to the Missus, "call 911", then grabs his Surefire (also on the bedside table, kept next to the cell phone) and moves to the end of the bed.
Reaching down he pats the 50 pounds of muscle and teeth that was also awakened by the sound, but remained at bedside per his training. "Alright Dozer... Seek" The pittie lets out a low growling chuff and darts out the bedroom doorway with PirateKilt close behind him...

I live alone and heard a spoon drop at 4am last night. I got out of bed armed with a roll of tape and didn't see anything, so I guess I imagined it or have a shy poltergeist.
Not quite glass breaking, but the couch creaking as if someone stepped on it, and the only way for that to happen was if someone were to come in through the window. Yup, that happened. I've been a VERY light sleeper ever since.

I did a very important interview seriously sleep deprived, if I get it then it will be a miracle!
This is why whenever I get an interview where I can choose the time I always go for sometime in the afternoon. Plenty of time to wake up and get ready :p

I set one alarm 30 minutes before the time I actually need to get up. One of two things happen with this. I wake up for a second, get a huge endorphin rush because "awww yeah I get to go back to bed" or I find im actually rested, get up 30 minutes earlier and make myself a full breakfast instead of just cereal or a bagel or whatever.

I once woke up 2 hours before my alarm (4:30AM) thought it was 6:30AM, proceeded to go in the kitchen and try to make breakfast before I realized the actual time.
This has been happening to me for the past week. In Australia the sun suddenly decides to rise much earlier when summer approaches. We don't have daylight savings either, so when I wake up 10 minutes before my alarm goes off because it's 6.30am and the birds are making noise I always panic because it's basically daytime.

Unless it's your day off, then you wake up at 6am fully rested.
That's their point. You wake up feeling real refreshed and you're in a good mood and that's immediately followed by a sinking feeling because you know that's the opposite of what you should feel.

I am going my last year in high school in Sweden which is a big thing (high school, not going the last year) because our version of college is not something everyone goes to (not everyone does in the US but most people try).
We had our last class photo and it was supposed to be a funny one. I looked very much forward to it and then when the day came I woke up and immediately by the sound of the traffic outside knew I was late. Our photo was at 9 and I woke up at 12. Still sad about it.
I feel happy because I set my alarm like a whole hour earlier before I was supposed to wake up. I set it again (it's like super easy) and I turn on my other side and fall right back asleep.

That was me this morning. I woke up 10 minutes before my shift starts. I have a 50 minute commute. All I could think was "Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit."
It's amazing how quickly panic breaks sleep inertia, though. I'm not a morning person at all, but when I suddenly realise I have to be somewhere in five minutes, it's like an instant caffeine injection. None of the usual clumsiness or confusion. I've literally managed to pack a suitcase for a week long trip in five minutes.
When this happens to me, I get dressed and out the door in record time. A few weeks ago I woke up at 10:53 AM when I had to be at work at 11:00 AM. I jumped out of bed, got dressed, brushed my (long, thick) hair, grab my purse and key and left. I don't have a car, but work is a 5 minute walk from my apartment. I clocked into work at 11:02 AM.

Recently the difference between normal and late is how light it is outside. I wake up thinking "huh, alarm hasn't gone off yet" followed by "it's not normally this bright outside yet... Oh shit what time is it?!"
I think that's probably a close second to waking up to nothing after you set an alarm, but because you woke up 20 minutes before the alarm is set to go off.
That way, you wake up in a panic thinking you're late, but you don't even get the benefit of the extra sleep.
I use the extra time for messing around on my phone, and then I end up staying in bed for twenty minutes past the time my alarm was supposed to go off.
Of course followed by the bleary-eyed, half-dressed and deeply resentful realisation that it is one O'clock in the morning. The relief doesn't come close to eclipsing the dull frustration.
Then the second sound I hear of the day is me yelling FUCK! at my alarm clock.

This is true but there are certain sounds that jar you right out of your skin. There are two large barking dogs in my house and one of them belongs to me. There is no carpet in this house and nothing to buffer the barking. What I hate is when I drift off to sleep or am asleep and my dog lets out one very loud bark. It sounds like a damned alarm. It's so startling that it makes my heart race and it scares the crap out of me. My son's dog has the loudest bark of any dog I have ever heard but she doesn't just give out one bark. She barks and barks until I have to get up and threaten her life.

Or in some other cases, when you wake up before your alarm thinking you have hours of sleep left; only to look over and see that you have 10 minutes before you need to get up...
Or waking up to your brother going "WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING IN BED?!?!" during your orientation week for your brand new job, where the biggest thing they tell you on day one is "DON'T. BE. LATE." only to roll over and see you're supposed to be at work in literally 3 minutes.
That is funny because for me every time something like this happens I wake up ten minutes before what I set my alarm to or what I thought I set my alarm to.

Oh goodness the swear words I have unleashed when waking up late. Startling my husband awake, stomping like a damned troll around my upstairs apartment because I am just to fucking irritated to bother to be quiet....Ugh.
Once woke up at 7:30am...work starts bright and early at 7am. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. I called my boss and was so frazzled I couldn't even think of any sort of plausible excuse so I just laid out the truth: "Apparently, I am an idiot who can't set an alarm. I'll be there ASAP."

This has become every day for me. I had 2 classes today that I missed because I slept through my 4 alarms...
I overslept in Orlando once while I was on vacation. My flight home was at 9am. I woke up at 8:42am and went into "oh fuck I'm late" panic mode. But then I stopped the scrambling after two minutes because I realized I probably couldn't get dressed, travel to the airport, get through security, and board my plane all within 18 minutes. My brain is weird.
Been getting this stupid feeling for the past week because I've been waking up hours earlier than my alarm naturally. Living in a new place, I'm not used to what morning looks like yet, so I just freak out until I find my phone. Then I'm already panic-awake and can't just sleep longer :(
But it's astonishing how fast you get ready and leave. Makes you wonder how much more sleep you could have if you got ready that quick every morning.

The next worse that might sound oddly specific is waking up sleeping in a tent, knowing you are the only being who fell asleep in it, to a snuffling. Only to see a bear in the doorway outlined by the moon. If nothing else, wakes you up quicker than an alarm clock...
Similar thing happened to me a few months back, camping in the Australian bush.
I was woken up by a few wild dogs howling, sounded like they were a couple of kms away. While lying there trying to go back to sleep I established I needed to shit, so I headed off to the toilet, about 300m away.
It didn't occur to me until I was half-way there that the howling had gotten closer, and was now coming from all directions. The head-torch I was wearing didn't help much, and simply lit up the fog around me.
Turning back and holding the turd in wasn't an option, and where I was walking is where the kids play during the day, so I couldn't just drop it there and go back. I trudged on to the toilet, and did my business, with my eyes nervously watching the gap under the toilet door, and my ears taking in every sound around me. At this stage the howling had stopped.
I hurried back to my tent, dived inside, zipped it up, and started getting back into my sleeping bag. About 30 seconds after I got into the tent, the footsteps started. For about 2 minutes I could hear 4 or 5 sets of four-legged footsteps, walking around the tents my group were in. Then silence.

When we were out in the red centre, one of the guys I was with woke up to find a dingo rooting through his clothes. Ruined one of his shirts and scared the shit out of him, but nothing serious :P Dingoes are beautiful, but it's nice knowing that they're there beforehand.

My ex and I were woken up at around 3am by the sound of screaming. I bolted out of bed and when I got to the kitchen I saw an apartment opposite us on fire with the occupants trapped in their bedroom.
They didnt survive, and the worst part is they didnt clean/do anything to the apartment for about a month. So my view from the kitchen was a burnt out apartment with broken glass and blood all down it.
It was a pretty traumatic experience.

Yeah. Standing outside in the middle of winter while the firemen sucks. At least in my case, there was just superficial smoke damage (though the shared cellars were ruined).
But jumping right out of the shower and having your hair freeze while waiting for the fire to get better or worse isn't something I want to do again.

This is so true. I live in Tulsa, so they are rare to touch down in the city, but the last one to touchdown was a little one and everyone was outside looking at the storms.
I had to turn back early from a run because my phone was taken over by a severe weather alert and the storms that can make a tornado started moving towards my part of town.
But when the tornado sirens go off everyone looks outside because it's common and we know how to deal with tornados.
Plus, you should know where the tornado is, where it is going, when it will get there, and what to do if you are in its path.
The local meteorologists are some of the best in the nation because all types of bad weather happens in this part of the country. You wouldn't want to be the top cancer doc in the nation and never see a bad case. Oklahoma gets it all so they want to be here to experience it.
The company I work for built the new water treatment plant in Broken Arrow. We shut the job down several times for severe weather, but we all just sat outside the gate and watched the sky anyway since we're all from the Midwest. Small world on Reddit today. I hope your water is still tasty and clean.

Claremore here - we haven't had one in a very long time.
Can confirm. In the spring of 2012, while I was a student at Oklahoma State, there were some major storms that brought some tornadoes that touched down near Stillwater.
I was at my friends' house. We brought a 6 pack out, sat on their covered porch, and watched the storms and flooding from there. Hardest rain I've ever seen fall, and tornado sirens were going off. We were keeping track of where the tornadoes were, and were prepared to go to their basement if any of them decided to head in our direction though.

I am a pizza delivery driver in Oklahoma. We had some bad weather earlier this year. One day, we noticed a tornado not too far from the store so we all went outside to look at it. About five minutes later, the sirens went off. I delivered someone their food and went back to the store like it was any other day. Although, we did not accept any orders during the time the sirens were on.

Nah, I do the same thing to here in Indiana. Get up, pull up the radar and check out the storm. If it's not coming my way, back to sleep I go.
The fire alarm in our house hates bacon. Every time it's gone off, I've been cooking bacon. Don't ask me why.
But anyway, it's a really high pitched wail, then it yells "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!" and wails some more. Our poor kitty cries every time it goes off, and he runs around the house crying because he can't get away from it. I always have to cuddle him afterwards because he's so scared :(

I know this feeling too well. The joys of living in tornado alley. After a certain amount of time people get so used to it they know when it's a serious situation or not.
How about NOT hearing the tornado sirens when it's needed most? 1996, Fort Smith, Arkansas. A tornado blew through town on a Sunday night. The tornado sirens on my side of the town failed to activate. We're lucky it didn't hit our side of the town. We only found out a tornado even hit the town when we got up Monday morning to get ready for school and work, and my mom and dad turned on the national news.
Where I live, we're so far away we don't hear sirens. They only thing to warn is that I'm so paranoid I keep the weather on if earlier in the day I hear about a possibility of a tornado. Otherwise I sleep through em.
Been in northeast oklahoma for the last 15 years, I am lucky I have never had to experience a tornado. I can only recall hearing the tornado sirens a handful of times.

Really?
I'm from Wichita, KS (not far from NE OK) and heard sirens several times a year my entire life. (I want to say at least a dozen times a year, but I'm sure my brain is being hyperbolic)
They must not test yours. Every town I've been in tests them at a certain time every week (hometown is Saturday at noon, college town was Wednesday at noon). Even if I'd never seen a tornado, I'd still have heard the sirens.

Sorry to hear that. Grew up in Tulsa. Was in south Norman at the time. GF was in north Norman. Car got wrecked.
Mine was narrowly avoided. I lived somewhat near sooner elementary. That day was scary. Especially after my best friend wasn't responding to my texts. Turns out his phone was just dead.
That's lucky. My family lived near Yukon actually in Piedmont. We were at red lobster eating AYCE crab legs when the shit hit the fan. We hurried home and piled in the cellar. Our shed actually got dropped on the cellar and all the men had to push their ways out, we had a brand new car that was upside down a football field away. My clothes and toys (I was like 6 at the time.) were strewn across our acreage. We lived on a slight hill in a ltwo story hand built, log cabin and ther were 4 other families livin below us on the hill in mobile homes. Only our cabin was destroyed. It was a very eerie sight to see. When the tons do hit you felt the pressure in the cellar drop. My ears popped and it sounded like there was a train above us.
*edit: a letter and punctuation.
If it makes you feel any better, the sirens are designed to scare the shit out of you. It has to get your attention in a busy city, which is why it has that weird off-key tone that insinuates dread. Plus, they have to sound different than other sirens, like the Federal Signal Q that the CFD runs.

Mine don't sound like that at all. Where I live we have the standard sound of death. That weird kind of low whine. Starts out like it's far away and then all of a sudden it is everywhere. Absolutely terrifies me to be honest. It just sounds like dread.
I remember seeing an edited version of this where it looked like Cthulhu was approaching the city.

Depends on where you are. In Chicago they use that odd tone because it stands out from the background noise of the city so much. I'd wager that the kind of siren that's a block away from me here in small town Indiana would get drowned out in Chicago.
They vary but they all have that unique unsettling edge to them...

I lived near the edge of a couple counties and cities. At a maximum I could hear something like 5 different sirens going at once. It was nice to be able to tell which direction it was going without looking at the news though.

Typically, a single-tone alarm indicates an alert or test. If the alarm's tone is going up and down then shit is going down.
I know exactly what video you're talking about. I'm from Illinois, relocated to Massachusetts. I have anxiety, and the tornado signals used to freak me the fuck out as a kid especially so because of my anxiety.
But, whenever I come across that video, I always watch it. And I feel comfortable while it's playing. I don't know why, I guess it just reminds me of home.
My town used to have fire sirens at every fire station. They were used to call meetings, call for help from firefighters in that district, and on Halloween it would be used to call kids out to the station for the Halloween party. It was pretty great.
Then outsiders started moving in and complaining about the noise. Apparently those rich snobs in their million dollar houses don't like hearing what an old fashioned small town sounds like (though they don't seem to care about hearing Metallica blasted at 3 am by the local winery). All of the sirens were disconnected, and the firefighters use two-way radios to get fire calls. I'll be honest, I kind of miss them. They sound like home.
They're also designed to be used during an emergency. I can't imagine how or why a city could get away with using it for stuff like calling town meetings or calling in firefighters. It's pretty damn bad to get used to the sound of an emergency siren, especially when an actual emergency takes place.
My small hometown was pretty rural. The outpost fire station used the siren at noon and 5pm to let the farmers know what time it was. I grew up hearing it every day. Eventually it fell into disrepair, early 1990s I think, and they just abandoned the practice. I miss it too.
Burn a lower case "T" on the richers' lawn for "time to get out". If that doesn't work, dress up in white sheets and act like spooky ghosts. Richers hate spooky ghosts.

Where I grew up, they were used to signal that curfew had started for kids under 18.
Then, I moved out of state for 20 years. I went back a few weeks ago to visit family, and was completely thrown off guard by the air raid sirens going off. Scared the shit out of me until I remembered what they used them for.

Or the god damn Amber Alert, for a kid that's not even in the same state! As a parent a missing child is the worst, however a high pitched squeal for a missing 14 year old girl that ran off with her 16 year old boyfriend shouldn't be Amber Alert material. That's she's afraid of mom whipping her ass so she didn't come home material.
I always think of Silent Hill when I hear those sirens. For a few years I lived right over the hill from a volunteer fire station and there was nothing more unpleasant than waking up at 3 am to pitch blackness and that siren blaring at me. It use to scare the shit out of me.

Air raid sirens are probably worse. Only heard them once for a pre-announced test, though. We didn't have any air raids in germany recently ;)
1) is always there, though it can be replaced by https://youtu.be/
Next you have 2), which is the unique ID of the video - capitalization matters!
Finally, there is 3), which is the modifier to the video. There are different things you can do to the video but to simply link a specific time, you add &t=999 to the video, the number being the number of seconds which have elapsed from the beginning. You may also write the time in the format &t=9h9m59s or just &t=9m59s.

I've woke up to these. Often it is too crappy outside to try to head to the shelter so you try to pull up the radar on the horrible signal (thick clouds) you have to see if you can go back to bed. The siren isn't too bad as it is decently often but the siren with the wind train noise is the worse. House got missed by a block diagonally earlier this year with minor damage. At least most of the time the night isn't as severe of storms.

I've always slept through those. Not the safest option, but I generally figure that if I'm in any real danger, heading into the lowest central room in my house really isn't going to protect my scrawny ass anyway.
I have the puzzle lock on my phone, because it is so hard for me to wake up in the morning. I realized that I can press the lock button to turn off the alarm, which tired-me has utilized me to wake up late almost every day.

Oh my god, nostalgia. It actually makes me really happy to hear this. It was my morning alarm for a good six months when I first switched from a landline to a cell phone several years ago. That cheery "Good moooorning! It'sabeautifulday! " brings back so many memories of partying nearly every night and waking up still half-drunk to cook breakfast for all the random people still in my house and then drag myself off to work. (Strange that I was so much happier back then, with my life full of rampant alcoholism and dramatic, mooching fake friends.)
I thought OP was talking about the Vienna Boys Choir one and figured "come on its not that bad". Then I heard this and I was like " oh, okay it's bad ".
I thought it would be funny to set the alarm on my phone to "AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!" I was wrong. It's terrifying.

I once set my text sound to my (now ex) boyfriend going muahahahahaha. Wasn't cute when I was in the shower at a hotel and it went off and I panicked thinking someone was in my hotel room.
A roommate of mine set his ringtone to the one from bedtime stories after it came out a few years ago - unknown to me of course. Telemarketer or something called at like 2 am in the morning and he'd left his phone on the table, across a hallway from my room. Waking up to the very real sound of yelling right outside your room (being tired and scared shitless I didn't notice it was yelling RING and make the connection to a ring tone) easily one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. We changed the sheets that morning.
And I thought it would be funny to set my text tone to "THIS. IS. a text message!" 300 style. Freaked me the fuck out, but I haven't changed it because it freaks out others too.
A friend of mine was getting into metal and he set this song as his alarm. Apparently he fell out of bed and never listened to the song again.

I wake up every morning to Rules of Nature, and I always get scared that a bug will keep pinching my toe, then I'll wave my arm to try to thwack at it twice, and on the second wave they grab me by the fingernail and throw me through the wall, then running up and cutting my arm as they run, and then cutting it clean off

I have mine set to Shia LaBeouf screaming just do it. It's equal parts terrifying and motivating.
I use the android streaming radio app 'Xiia Live' as my alarm clock. It allows you to use any online radio stream as an alarm that starts silent and slowly increases in volume over a period as long as 15 minutes. I usually just choose some mellow downtempo station (SomaFM stations recommended!) but if I want to mess with myself I select a talk radio station and let the voices slowly work into my morning dreams. :)
Seriously though, having a music station you enjoy slowly get louder is a much nicer way to wake up than having the same song jolt you awake every day.
That's why I won't change mine. Anything else I can ignore. My alarm app has the most irritating noise, and anytime I even think about it, I shudder. Wakes me up real quick.

I used to set various songs as my alarm until I realized that it was making me hate music that I liked.
In college used to set my alarm to the local country station and put the alarm across the room so I would have to get out of bed to turn it off.
Thia strategy was really successful, the only reason I stopped was because it made me start every day in foul mood. Every day I said the same exact phrase as I got up: "awful fucking music". And every day I meant it.
Not if you make it something you love unconditionally. I set mine to the song "Before You Start Your Day" by Twenty One Pilots, both because it's appropriate, and I love it. I won't say it makes waking up enjoyable, but it is less annoying than just a beeping alarm.

I am probably that guy. I loved it so much I would dance to it in my bed still laying down with my eyes closed. Then let it play again. It be the best way to start your morning!
Yeah it is pretty fucking catchy but he wouldn't even wake up to it. So it would just play over and over and over. I didn't have class in the morning so I could sleep in. I was in the other fucking room!
I spent the weekend with my GF in her dorm room.. (this was a long time ago) I wake up to the alarm clock going off but no mater what I did the damn thing wouldn't shut of..
It was the fucking fire alarm.. exact same buzzer..
A funny thing just like that happened to me. The next year that we dormed together he was next to my room again. So by the end of the year I was used to ignoring loud sounds. One day I woke up to a really loud noise. I couldn't tell what it was but it was loud as hell. In my half awake state I said fuck it and went back to sleep. About 5 minutes later a very angry dorm manager came into my room yelling at me. I woke up but it took me a good 30 seconds to realize what the hell was going on. Turns out the fire alarm had been going off for about 10 minutes by the time he got to me.
I once set my email notification to Chewbacca. Scared the everlivinfuck outta me at around 2 a.m. I thought some monster/alien/sasquatch thing was coming through the window.

Everyone that lives in my house (3 other roommates ) hate me for this being my alarm. I kept it because it does a great job of getting me awake but at this point, I'll put my phone in certain places of the house and set the alarm to go off just to piss off my roommates.

Needless to say, I'm pretty sure I can give him PTSD by playing it around him.

I'm going to plug the app, Sleep Cycle. It's turned me into a morning person and I didn't think that was possible.
Back when I had my En-V Touch this was my alarm BECAUSE I hated it. Turning it off, getting up and ready made me happier than hitting snooze and risking hearing it again.
One time my mom woke me up with that alarm by playing it through an air vent in the room upstairs so that it could be heard where I was sleeping. Not cool.
My housemate who lives in the room directly above me had that alarm all last year and it drove me batty. She is a deep sleeper plus a snoozer, so she'd set the alarm at full volume and then press snooze three to ten times in a morning. I'm not a light sleeper, but Jesus on a cracker that woke me up every damn time.
No fucking kidding. It's annoying enough to make a fantastic alarm. Set it next to me to get me awake and a regular alarm clock across the room so my lazy ass has to get up, because otherwise I'll solve the damn puzzle lock and pass out again.

My work phone goes "It's time." Just once and in a no inflection monotone semi female voice. The first time I had to use my work phone as an alarm clock.My wife damn near punched me in the face as she awoke as if someone set her on fire. I could not stop laughing.
I actually used to LOVE that song, I'd wake up all smiley and excited and sing along. After a year of waking up a 4am to a job I absolutely despised and having that song essentially be the "Welcome to hell" Theme just ruined it for me. Even listening to it just now literally made my heart skip a beat with panic.
I don't know that one, and don't wish to listen to it before, but I had a noname chinese mobile which had the most godawful alarm tone in it. It sounded like a broken jet engine being fed dying cats. And it was even worse when it had gone under the bed and had to be fished out of its invisible hiding place.
I hope it gave the cunt who stole the phone a horrible wake up the next day.
do do dooooo. Goodmorning. do do doooooooo. ba ba ba bow bow buh buh buh bow! (good morning) buh buh buh bow bow buh buh buh bow! (good morning) buh buh buh bow bow buh buh buh bow DO DO DO DOO! its a beautiful day! (Repeat x times until awake or dead)
I'm not the only one!! At first I was too lazy to change it. But overtime I have learned to despise that horrible alarm so much that now it's the only thing that will actually force me to wake up and get it to shut it the hell up.
That alarm helped me to get up, but in the worst mood and I would stay mad for the whole damn morning. I literally chucked my phone at my wall one time cause I couldn't stand it no more
The fact that the lady sounds British makes it a bit easier to tolerate for me. I imagine that she is very prim and proper, wearing glasses and a smart business suit.

HAHAHA my friends and I used to sing this song all the time after we started rooming together in college. Then we started waking up progressively earlier so we could get really close to each other's faces before the alarm went off so we could whisper "goooood mooorrrning!" and then break out into ear-piercingly loud bahs and dahs. it never really got old

My partner and ex room mate both do this, partner because he cannot stand mucus or snot in his mouth so will sniffle when he has a cold or something similar and then panic and make awful cat retching noises into the toilet, ex room mate because smoking.
My roommate in college for the second half of my sophomore year did this. It was horrible. Our rooms had a sink in the room and it was basically next to my head. I had to swap and sleep with my head the other direction just to get away from the sound.
Since it was a military college each rack in the bunk had to have a pillow at the opposite end from the other rack. So I had to explain to him why we needed to switch. Delicate situation when living in a shoebox for six months with some other guy.
My 30 year old neighbor is a heavy smoker and he already starts his day by clearing his throat of mucus every five seconds. It's the most disgusting noise ever (like a monstrously large cat spitting up hair balls) and he repeats it every five seconds from the second he wakes up till the moment he leaves the door for work.
My mom was going through chemotherapy and I had moved back home to help take care of her. I woke up at 5 AM to her screaming in excruciating and agonizing pain. It was absolutely heartbreaking and there was nothing I could do. It was so awful.
PS. 1 year later, she is cancer free! :)

I bet the painkillers wore off. That is a horrible feelingโyou take your pills and wait for any faint opiate warmth to creep up so you can shut your eyes until you fall into a deep, relaxing sleep. Then 5 hours later it wears off and sends a jolt of feeling to your nerves. Now you wake up with intense pain from whatever your treating, while entering the beginning stages of opiate withdrawal.

That's great that your mom is better! I sincerely hope your mum, and everyone else's mothers who were/have been diagnosed with cancer, stay super-healthy and nothing, not even another dumb disease ever afflict her again.
Yes, it's a big wish, but I really do hope it comes to, however much possible. Cancer just shouldn't happen to mothers, ever. My own mom had to go through chemotherapy too, amongst other procedures, and seeing/hearing her cry in pain and not being able to do anything was, needless to say, absolutely horrible.
Yeah I know all about that. I would sleep on her floor so she wouldn't have to be alone when my dad was at work. I would wake up to her vomiting up her meds because her body couldn't handle the dosage. I Knew there was nothing I could do and I knew I wasn't strong enough to try and help even I could do something.
Late to the thread, but my grandma had cancer and she's been cured for over 3 years now. This may not mean much from a stranger, but I'm real happy your mom is cancer-free :)
I was about to start crying, imaging my own mother in that situation until I saw the PS.

This actually happened to me this morning: a phone call, at an ungodly hour. In my experience you go through a pretty quick mix of emotions:
Fuck, who's calling me at this hour.
...wait, it's 3:30AM, who is calling me at this hour?
Is it mom? Is it dad? Did something happen? Where the hell is my phone?!
There's that split-second of terror. Someone is dead. Someone is injured. There was a break-in. Something is stolen. Something happened.
For me, this morning, the result wasn't that terrifying, though momentarily scary: it was the credit card fraud prevention line at my bank calling to verify some suspicious transactions. Apparently my wife buying 8 $2 shipping labels in a row on PayPal at 1 in the morning was considered suspicious, but it took them 2 hours to call me -- I guess they wanted to make sure I was sound asleep.

There are apps (hell I think newer versions of mobile OSes have this baked in) that will let you schedule quiet hours for your phone. My phone has been on silent overnight for years. You can even whitelist certain people so only some people can wake you up, or make it location based so your phone goes on vibrate at work, etc.
I know Android has this out of the box, since at least 5.0 or so.

Why would you use an app when your phone does this? Do not disturb mode
So that if your parent, SO, child, or other person you've decided is important enough calls you at 3am because of an emergency your phone will still go off. Whereas it will stay silent for your credit card company.
iOS has had schedule-able Do Not Disturb (Quiet Mode) since iOS 6 I believe. You can set it to allow calls from certain contacts to always ring even in quiet mode, and set it so that if someone calls again within three minutes it will ring through.

I think it's funny how perception can differ.
I get called in the middle of the night often, and it has always been work calling me to come in. It has been that way for years. If I get a call in the middle of the night, all I feel is a mix of frustration and acceptance. The last thing I would think of is someone being hurt.

I had that, my sister had a habit of calling super late just to chat, so I almost ignored the call. Instead I picked up, and she just said, "It's Dad, if you can get here, come." I drove across the state, and he passed away 10 mins after I arrived.

Wow you guys have some serious worry in you!! Why does a phone call at night mean bad...? My first thought would be annoyance as in, who the hell called me this late... It better be something on fire...
I had my credit card information stolen and this is what thieves will do; put a number of small charges through to make sure that the card works, then start racking up huge charges. In my case, they bought several $999 Tim Hortons cards. I guess they really liked coffee.
Staying gf's house. We were sort of off and on, and this was our last night together, as I was going overseas. Got up to use the washroom, stepped right in it.
Can't remember if I was naked or not, would have been embarrassing with the roomies, as I was afraid to move for fear of spreading it around,
Reminds me of when I woke up one morning to use the bathroom and I stepped on a turd my cat left for me. Weirdest feeling, almost like brand new play-dough.

I hate it when they throw up half digested cat food on you.
My niece's cat had kittens. Beside her bed. Right where your feet first touch when you go to get out of bed. She crushed 2 beneath her feet as she stood up in the dark one night.
She said it was the most horrible feeling she'd ever experienced, physically and mentally, to have done that. She said she'd rather break her arm again than do that.

I had something similar a few weeks ago, except it was my dog, and it was explosive diarrhoea.
Edit: If anyone is curious, it sounded remarkably like the noise when you're squeezing the very last bit of dish soap out of the bottle. Except it smelt like rotten meat, not lemon.
Yeah, in this case you can't even be mad at the dog. It'd be like being pissed at your child for having the flu and throwing up somewhere. "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE TO BE SICK, HUH? THE OTHER KIDS AREN'T SICK. FUCK YOU."

Reponsibility is not freedom, true. But you can't expect rights without responsibilities.
To give an example, think about political rights. You can vote, and you can be elected. I'm sure you will agree that whoever gets elected creates a responsibility who voted for them, and another responsibility for the politician themselves.
I understand my rights and responsibilities as a British citizen... hell, I'm a member of a political party.
I'm talking about my freedom to up and do what I want. I don't have any kids in school, nor a partner tied down to a job.
If I get offered a job I want tomorrow? My answer will be "Yes". That's my freedom.

That is assuming that the children you procreate don't want to move away to new places and start their own families with different people. That's great for your family that everyone chipped in for your grandparents. But it's not always the case for everyone and since that's a possibility that exists, you shouldn't put down people's ideas that their pets are just as important as a family member. Pets have been known to save the lives of people when no other human was around.
Because they are humans and you cannot predict what they will do many years later. If you rely on them, you may have a rude awakening. If you force them, you're an asshole.

Cats never feel bad for barfing. My cat pukes on the carpet and then walks off all smug like cleaning it up is a privilege to me.
And you know it didn't really have a chance to try to do the right thing.
I've had a cat who'd let me know the litter box was too dirty (even though I cleaned it weekly) by peeing on the bathroom floor. I don't know if the idea was to get my attention/be passive aggressive by going somewhere I'd have to go often, to go on the tile floor where it was easy to clean, or to go near the toilet because it smelled like a toilet, but I appreciated it.
(I mean, I kept both litter box and toilet clean, but this cat was finicky, too dumb to bury her poop so it didn't stink afterward, and like any cat, had a keen sense of smell that no doubt could identify even the cleanest of toilets.)
When she woke up, we (stupidly) let the dog out of her crate...bad move, shit footprints all the way to the back door.
Next night, same thing. Carried the whole crate outside, left her outside.
That was around the time we stopped feeding her kibble and gave her raw food. She was way better after that.

First time we left our nervous doggy alone (for 15 minutes while I walked to the local shop for milk), she had managed to shit all over the floor, stand in it, and then scratch the door and wall with her shitty footprints.
Oh, she also ate a piece of skirting board. A good chunk was missing and chewed off, and we never found it. We assume she ate it.
Gotta love dogs :)
We're so lucky with ours. Will not go on furniture. Absolutely trustworthy.
One of the few times she's had tummy troubles since going on the raw diet, she was home by herself, felt the urge, went into a room she never goes into that we were painting, and does what she has to do on the plastic dropsheet.
I honestly think she figured out that was the best place to go. Brilliant.

If you keep your dog out of hard to clean rooms, that is no problem at all. Just wash with a bucket of water.
Cats, on the other hand, will make your neighbors hate you if you let them out, and must be kept always inside. So their messes are worse than a dog's.
I was staying at my friend's apartment last weekend and was awoken at 5am by her cat barfing. Luckily, as I was about to clean it up her old, crazy dog came over and ate it. :(

You're playing in hard mode if you wear contacts. You have to get to the bathroom to put them in without stepping on the mushy puke pile.
That sound gives me PTSD-like false alarms where I spring out of bed swearing that I heard it and looking for the barfing beast so I can quickly throw a piece of paper underneath it for easy non-carpet-wrecking cleanup.
We strategically stationed stacks of printer paper through the apartment and THERES ALWAYS a round two barf so I usually take her by the scruff and make sure she finishes on the paper.... Sounds weirder now that I type it out.
Maybe you should look into a different food if your cat's barfing that much. They barf a lot, but it shouldn't be bad enough that you need stacks of paper around the place.
It's much better now. She was on special k/d diet food, and the science diet stuff was basically rocks. Lots of bad reviews online. After switching to Royal Canin it's way better... But the PTSD still lingers.
Yeah it's fucking garbage. I tried crushing it with a hammer and couldn't. I can't imagine what it's like on an older cats teeth. Apparently the wet food is bile too. Once we switched we had to make sure she didn't barf from eating it too fast cause she liked the new stuff so much.

Science diet is dreadful as you know, but royal canin still contains some dodgy ingredients, have you tried looking at things like applaws, purizon, and Orijen? They're slightly pricier per bag but they work out cheaper as you feed less as there's more nutrients and less filler and allergens.
Our cat had a similar (extremely short) expiration date put on it too and we are into our second year using the k/d. I feel like vets can really over react sometimes in order to try and pawn off more expensive procedures on us cause they know we would do anything for our furry friends.
Edit: We also do the fluids under the skin twice a week which helps A TON. You can practically see the difference.
Depends on the breed. Siamese cats are known to be frequent barfers (boyfriend has two)

Cats aren't even sick a lot, I've had cats for years and have to clean up sick once a year. The ones that are sickly tend to be gluten intolerant so if you get a cat like that you probably need to get a wheat free food.
My cat has rabbit and pea (no grain) because of other issues (mmm, liquid shit). Now, I also have to put a small ball in the food bowl to slow his eating down. If he eats too fast, it comes back up in 5 minutes

My cats never barf and never cough up furballs. This seems like a strange question, but: is there something wrong with them?
Take them to a vet to check, but also try changing their food. Whenever we got the cheap food my cats would barf more frequently. They would also barf more if they decided to get territorial with the other one (fighting on a full stomach).

My cat goes outside and eats grass, and always throws it up. I can't stop her unless I'm constantly watching, she always eats grass and always pukes it out. What do I do
You can buy this stuff called cat grass which will grow indoors on a windowsill in a pot. It's easier on the cats stomach than yard grass and dates their love of grass.
A lot of people say that cats eat grass to make themselves barf to fix an upset tummy. This isn't true according to my research. They eat grass to add fiber and because they like the taste. But you may want to consider changing up the cats food to a hairball formula or a wet food (or dry if your using wet).
Also I had a cat that would wolf down grass every time she got out. That stopped though, when we started letting her out regularly.
When my wife and I would leave for the weekend we would place bets on how many piles of cat barf would be waiting when we got home. It was usually between 3 and 6. We would rejoice at the times there weren't any.
There's very specific grass seeds that you can plant in a flower pot. These special grasses help cats with their digestion.
If your situation is as bad as it sounds, you might wanna try these out.
Also make sure to put any lily plants far out of the cats reach, as they are poisonous to them and can cause your cat to throw up and eventually cause severe liver disease.
It's not nearly as bad as it used to be when we lived in an apartment. Thanks though. Turned out it was the shitty science diet food our vet prescribed.

Cats love that stuff, but they get grass everywhere. First time I grew some for my cats I woke up one morning and it looked like someone had mowed the lawn in my kitchen.
Thing is that not everyone lives in the countryside and there's cat owners who can not let their pets outside. :)

My cats are indoor only cats too. I let them have cat grass but only under my supervision so they don't make a huge mess.

I have a very old dog that can't make it through the night without peeing anymore. For some reason though when she pees in the house, she always does it on the hardwood floor of our living room, where she's not allowed to enter. I've now developed the ability to instantly wake up in the middle of the night when I hear the "clack-clack-clack" of her slowly lumbering across the hardwood floor to her pee spot, and I sprint downstairs to let her outside. She basically has me trained.
Every time I make it down there before she's peed she just gives me this look like "Oh. What are you doing here? I'm just doing dog stuff." She's so old that she doesn't even give a shit that I'm catching her being bad.
Oh yeah, I had a 16 year old dog and as soon as his nails hit the tile in the morning I was wide awake and jumping out of bed. If not I would be cleaning up a big puddle. At that Age, you can't even get onto them they just have to go, whether you're awake to let them out or not.

It's because she is a Good Dog who realizes hardwood is much easier to clean pee off than carpet. You could just get up and wipe it in the morning. Unless you have some expensive beeswax finish on your floor, it's gonna be fine. Even cat puke wipes up from hardwood.
I had an old cat that couldnt make it to her box and always had a pee spot about half way from the bedroom to her box. I started using those puppy pee pads in the spot. Perhaps you could try that if your old gal is going in the same spot every night, just in case you don't get down there fast enough.

We recently bought a house with a wooden staircase. Very soon after moving in we discovered that our three-legged cat makes the exact noise when she goes down the stairs. Her back two paws land softly, then her front paw lands hard. "ka-HUK, ka-HUK, ka-HUK" all the way down the staircase.
It's been two months, and we still frequently stop talking to listen closely and determine if it's a barf or not.
I work in a small office attached to a laundry room right now. The dryer occasionally makes the EXACT sound of my cat beginning to heave. I spent a whole day of work going into high alert every two minutes.

Holy shit this reminded me of a story about my dog. So he was about to puke on my floor, right at the top of a set of stairs. Unfortunately, he was also super skiddish. I tossed a piddle pad towards him hoping for it to land underneath where he was gonna puke, and he flipped the fuck out and the poor little dude tumbled down the stairs. Didn't puke tho. He's still alive too.
Try a 60 lb pitbull having a grand mal seizure, uncontrollably chomping and flailing about while also losing bowel control on the bed right next to you at 4AM. Twice in 4 days. Poor girl mostly only has them from high stress situations that I can prepare for, but randomly had a few while sleeping at night.

Okay...I take great care of my pets, thanks. It was last winter, my house was freezing so he crawled under my blanket, and he had to throw up. What exactly did I do wrong, in your eyes? Let him in my bed?

(Yowling in discomfort) AOOOOWAOOOOWAOOOWAOOOOWAOOOOWAOOOOWAOOOOW (And then the fun part) Kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk HURP...HURP...HURP........spoik (lots of licking noises)
There was somebody in my neighborhood who had really hollow-clompy-sounding heels, who would walk down the sidewalk past my apartment at 6am every morning. The tempo and the sort of klok-klok-klok sound her shoes made on the sidewalk were indistinguishable from how my larger cat sounds when he is about to hork. That lady has no idea how much sleep she has cost me over the years.
You're lucky it was only the carpet! I came here to share my experience of waking up to my cat regurgitating a half digested mouse onto the same pillow that I was sleeping on at the time. I rolled my face right onto it. Warm, slimy, stinking carcass. I just about threw up myself once I turned on the bedside lamp and saw what I'd been rudely awakened by.
For me it's the yowl she makes before she's gonna hurl. Makes no noise at all actually puking but she makes this blood-curdling yowl when she's about to, and that is my cue to get up and grab her and race her to the nearest not-carpet area.
My mom's small dog slept in my room when I still lived there. She'd throw up often in the middle of the night. I slept in a loft bed with no pajamas so there was no way I could get down the ladder, get a robe on, and get the dog out the door before she heaved. That sound haunts me.
Pureed pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie flling, just pumpkin) makes us feel a lot better so we don't throw up as much..............gdkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Yesterday morning I heard my cat barf and then jump off the bed. I thought "fuck, he puked on the bed!"

Had to put my kitty to sleep a few weeks back, but had the dog version happen this morning. First, I woke up at 4am because my kid has a cold and was coughing, so I gave him his medicine but couldn't fall back asleep for awhile. I must have, though, because I woke to the sounds of hearing my dog laughing. "That can't be!" I thought to myself in my dream, and realized he was horking up a big steamer. I jumped out of bed to get him outside for the eventual ejection, but stepped on one of my kid's books he'd thoughtfully left at the floor of my bed. As my leg slid forward and my out of shape ass went into the splits, I heard the dog barf squelch out onto the floor outside my room. I worked my way up, got the dog outside, and as I'm scooping up paper towel wads of warm goo, my alarm starts blaring. I can't really rush in to turn it off without potentially dripping hot dog bark on my bed, so I carefully run to throw the first towel wad out. But dog decides he's done outside (it's raining and he's a terrible wuss) so he starts barking at the door. LOUDLY.
All of a sudden, me, a 41-year old grown-ass man, knows how that terrible, overburdened woman in the "Calgon, Take me Away!" commercials felt.

The sound of the cat throwing up on the bed is worse.
Came here to say this. I think my body keeps an extra reserve of all required senses and function to leap from bed and scramble to find a more convenient place to point the cat.
There's special types of grass seeds that you can buy in most gardening stores.
Cats generally enjoy gnawing on these plants and if they consume a small self-picked daily dose, they are much less likely to vomit or have diarrea, because the grass actually helps their digestion.
It should be a specific kind of plant though, so make sure to purchase the correct seeds.
Also your cat gotta learn to leave your other plants alone.
Whenever they try to gnaw on another plant just do a quick scolding sound (we use a specific finger snapping sound for this), pick it up and then set it in front of the grass plant.

Woke up to the dry heaving noise that cats make right before they throw up. As she was standing on my chest, face about 6 inches from mine. Put cat on floor, realized that she would throw up on carpet, grabbed cat, put her on the window sill, she throws up, easy to clean surface. So, no I haven't woken up to a cat puking on my face, but it was a close thing.

Ugh I've experience pretty much the exact opposite of this before. I was laying in bed when my door suddenly pops open and my black Labrador walks in. At the sound of the door opening I sort of sit up with my eyes still half asleep to glance at her. Then I see her lower her hind legs which immediately sets alarms off in my head. I jumped out of bed with my eyes wide open just in time for her to shit all over my carpet. And it wasn't just a shit shit, it was full on diarrhea shit. The shit made a line too because I tried shoving her out of my room before it was over, but I only made the problem worse. Probably my worst waking up experience ever.
When I lived in a one bedroom for a while I had a walk in closet off my bedroom that was the only "away" place to put the litter box. Got woken up multiple times at 3am from my cat dropping the gnarliest deuces.
I have four dogs and nothing gets me from corpse-like slumber to Defcon 1 wide awake faster then the sound of one of them horking up something at the foot of the bed. They should make an alarm clock with that sound.
My dog threw up on my bed. And the floor. Four times. I then got to take her to the vets where she had to get immediate surgery to remove her uterus, and ended up staying at the vets for the night. Worst morning in the world :(

The cat fighting another animal, possibly another cat.
A peaceful sleep broken by what your brain automatically assumes must be a banshee being murdered by a velociraptor. Then you realize it's your cat in a knock-down-drag-out cat fight, and you are now legitimately worried for it's safety.

LPT: Since I started brushing my cat daily with a Furbinator he stopped throwing up. Might save you and your kitty some grief.
Totally unrelated but I have funny cat puking story.
I don't own or particularly like cats, but when my neighbors had a death in the family and asked me to watch their cat for two days I agreed.
I showed up on day one to find a note, 3 pages long about the dietary restrictions of the two cats and how important it was that I feed them the right amount blah blah blah.
As I opened the door I took a step inside and there it was, my first ever cat puke (cold) between my toes all squishy and shit.
I emptied their two litre boxes (I had to empty them daily) I never knew two cats could shit so much, and cleaned up the one puddle of vomit.
On day two there was 3 puddles of vomit. Then the call came and the neighbors weren't going to make it home for 6 more days.
The vomit got so bad, no less than 10 puddles a day, plus so much shit I almost couldn't handle it.
On the last day, when they arrived home I was on my hands and knees scrubbing their fucking carpet when they walked in...
He came first and went upstairs right away, said hello but that was it. Then the wife walked in and said "oh! Smells kinda catty, let me know when you're done and I'll spray something" then she proceeded upstairs. I walked out. Didn't speak with them since then, and have since moved away.

Cat throwing up in the pitch black somewhere nearby. It could be on the carpet, it could be on the bed, it could be on the chair where you've draped the interview outfit you plan on wearing.
This was what I was gonna say, just happened to me on Sunday at 3 AM. Scared the shit out of me before I realized what was happening. It sounded like some hellbeast was in my room.
Then you gotta stumble around in that sleep daze trying to clean it as fast as you can so it's easier to fall back asleep and it doesn't stain.

Woke up to the horking sound of my dad's new puppy on my bed once. I went from dead asleep to awake, standing, lights on and hauling the dog off the bed so fast I was dizzy. Matter of seconds. Was totally unpleasant, but the dog ended up not puking so that was nice.

Judging by his username, I'd say he was/is in the military. Just the thought of waking up to M240B fire makes me cringe.
To be fair, Europe has a lot less of a gun problem, but of course people turned to other weapons that are also easier to get hands on. It has lessened the issues, though, as stabbing someone is quite different from shooting them.
"Yes, and [country name] has so-and-so amount of guns and so-and-so amount of violent crimes...Switzerland has same amount of guns and zero violent crimes"
I use to party with friends that went to VCU years ago and lived near campus. There where a few times we would hear gun fire while smoking cigarettes late at night and quit our conversations immediately while heading inside without saying much to each other. Although while we could hear the initial gun fire we would freeze like deer in head lights. Sometimes you would only hear one gun shoot which probably meant the bullet found its intended target. I'm glad I don't live in that reality and only experienced it briefly. I feel for anyone trapped in that environment. My friend was a block down from a shooting (in Richmond VA) and saw the muzzle flash, him and a couple other people went in the prone position one of them dove in their own pee. He doesn't like to talk about that experience.

I wake up to the sound of a family member crying on a regular basis, but that's just how my toddler wakes up. Half the time it's "Hi Mama! Me out? High chair?" and half the time it's a wail that basically translates to "scary dream" or "hungry" or "light in my eyes" or something like that.
My cousin- suicide. Woke up to my mom sobbing "it's not fair, it's not fucking fair" then my aunt calling my cell phone and having to beg her to tell me what happened
My aunt screamed one night because I left the toilet seat up and she fell in. I didn't think that actually happened to people, but apparently it does...
Happened to me all the time when I lived at home. My mum suffers from night terrors, so 3am every morning basically on the dot she starts screaming in terror. Was pretty terrifying the first few times but then got annoying. Big problem is I also have this sometimes so my SO has to deal with me waking up shouting like crazy. The other problem here is that I'm a big guy, she's a small woman, and when this happens I don't know what's what so she has to leap out of bed and turn the light on to stop me freaking out.
I used to have night terrors as a kid. I grew out of them, but I got teased by my family about them. One year for Christmas I got one of those "No Fear" shirts that were all the rage, and the back said "Fear The Thief Of Dreams". It took me a couple of years to figure out that they were making fun of my night terrors with a T-shirt.
I wonder if she could avoid the worst of it by getting up at 2 or so, staying up for a bit, then going back to sleep. It would be difficult for the first few days, but surely better than constant night terrors,
It's okay, she's lucky enough not to remember them. I on the other hand, wake up like fucking Wolverine (minus the claws) screaming the house down. Although it is amusing how it progresses. Starts of quiet and gets louder in steps until the grand finale apparently.

I've woken up to that twice in one week. Once after she found out the cat was sleeping in the dryer, after she ran it, so she basically dried the cat. Second time like 3 days later when she stepped on a broken piece of glass. Had 3 inches of glass in her heel.

Happened to me once, it was a snake in the basement which is her worst fear. She couldn't do anything about it and called our neighbor to come over with his machete, but we couldn't find it for 2 weeks.
That happened to me one time. There was a heavy snow and our horse's barn fell down, she was convinced they were crushed. So my sister, mom, and I all trek out at like 4 in the morning in PJ's and muck boots into the dark snow.
Turns out, the barn had fallen on the electric fence and the horses escaped into the neighbor's yard. Assholes.
I lifted a piece of barn with my mom while my sister, the beast she is, pulled the electric fence wire out so that we could right our perimeter. My mom was like, "Well, at least the electricity isn't on..." and my sister cringed and said it was. She was pretty hardcore at 15. Then it turned out we locked ourselves out. My dad was almost home from the night shift, though, so we only had to stand out in the snow waiting after all was said and done for like, 20 minutes. What a fucking morning.
I can't stand my mom's voice in the morning, because she used to wake me up. Even If I'm down there drinking my coffee next to her, her yelling at my younger (high-school age) brother sends shivers down my spine.

The one time I woke up to this, it involved a very pissed off possum that got into our kitchen while she was having her morning toke and a cup of coffee.
I shared a door with the kitchen she was in, but the fridge was blocking it. The possum got behind the fridge and started scratching that door while my mother was high as a kite and screaming her head off.
This was a very disconcerting thing to wake up to as a child.

That's usually what I hear right before I fall asleep.
When I was 17 I had the chance to leave work early to go home and sleep when I was really hungover. Fast forward a few hours and I wake up to my mom holding my backpack with a half ounce of weed in it. Coincidentally I was holding it for a friend but I was smoking it too. Waking up to an extremely disappointed mom with your were stash was a pretty shitty way to wake up.
That happened to me once. My mom was taking some anti Malaria drugs for an upcoming trip. Apparently a side effect was night terrors. 2-3 am I woke up to a scream that sounded like someone was being murdered.

Your mom running on the treadmill and singing simultaneously when realistically she's barely capable of either.
Same thing happened to me one time. I run into the living room, and before I even see her I splash my foot into about an inch of water.
Our entire living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, and half bathroom was completely under water (all contiguous hardwood/stained concrete). Starting at three in the morning, it took four hours to vacuum up almost all of the water with a shop vac and pouring it out the front door every 5-10 mins. After about a week, Servpro came by and determined that a three-inch gap of crawlspace directly below the living room was completely filled with water as well, and subsequently had to rip up the warped wood after drying it all so much. Carpet got wet too, so all the bedrooms needed to be ripped out and replaced. Pretty much the entirety of this last summer was spent moving stuff in, out, and around the house as well as sleeping on mattresses on the floor in either my room, the study, the living room (with freshly replaced wood), or an office upstairs.
Insurance saved our asses financially, and we treated ourselves with a nice vacation to Colorado during the last couple of weeks of summer break after we replaced the carpet, furniture, and moved some thing around (as well as moving me out to college). But Jesus Christ, I will never forget that blood curdling scream and how that was the harsh and unexpected beginning to a hellish summer just a week before my graduation.
Oh, yeah, the flooding was caused by copper plumbing behind the toilet in the half bathroom. It corroded to the point where it simply popped open and gushed out (what I would estimate) a few hundred gallons of water before my mom heard the cascading water and shut it off. Come to think of it, I think her perspective of the story was much more insane and harrowing than mine, but just being there and living through a month and a half of whirring dehumidifiers and not having a living room floor for awhile is as harrowing for me as it will probably get.
Not as bad but in like 2003 one of our neighbor's sons drove into our garage after falling asleep. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac and he fell asleep, foot on the gas and ramped up our steep driveway into our van. Totally wrecked everything. I slept through it all.
This happened to my uncle. An underage drunk driver came careening around the bend and straight into his antique Delaware home. Fortunately, he and his wife were both upstairs. After this incident, he had two very large boulders placed strategically in front of the house where the truck went through and where there had been several other close calls. Another driver went round the bend and crashed into the boulders. Tried to complain to the city about them being dangerous. Was laughed out of court.
I have to say though, I stayed in that house when we visited once. I sat straight up in bed every time I heard tires screeching, which was often since they live right in town.
I had a car crash into a car that I had parked in front of my house. If I hadn't put it there, they would have crashed into my living room.
Of course, I was asleep at the time, so when the police rang the doorbell and asked if that was my car that was smashed, I was thinking, "ummm, wha... huh? my car? My Car? MY CAR???!?"
(since this didn't sound like breaking and entering, I didn't really wake up).

I had this. Someone rushing his wife in labour to hospital at 3am tried to overtake another car on a blind hill crashed straight into a lorry coming the other direction right in front of my house. I woke to the crash but didn't really realise I'd even heard it - I was confused about the orange flashing lights outside. Then looked out and realised something bad had happened. It took them 2 hours to cut the poor lady in labour out of the car. Everyone (including the baby) was fine though - just some cuts and bruises. The road was still closed at 9am when I headed to work.
A guy had an asthma attack while driving and hit a parked car outside my house. I was taking a nap and my window was open. I thought part of my house had blown up or something the adrenaline rush was unreal.
I didn't wake up to it, but I did get back from school when I loved in a city. Car was crashed through our fence and into out compost (our neighbors deserved the compost).

It always bothered me how people can burst into your house wearing dark clothes holding guns, but if you panic and fight back (not recognizing that theyre swat) you're the bad guy.
Because you've never seen someone's car get stolen. If it's parked in your driveway and the alarm goes off at 2am, you look out the window. If it's being stolen, you call the cops; If it's going off because a cat jumped on it, you just press the button and turn it off.
Wow, I just realized I heard a car alarm go off outside of my apartment building around 1am the other day and all I thought was "silence your fucking car asshole". didn't even realize someone's car could have been broken into

Iirc we test often in the US because it barely works and is pretty broken
Also it's one (long) test per month, alternating between morning and night, plus one short test per week which the broadcaster does on their own schedule.
But to be serious, the tests are more for the broadcasters than the viewers. It's well known that the EAS system has issues and I would expect the FCC to overhaul it in the next couple of years.

If the thing ever says something along the lines of "the following message is broadcast on behalf of the..." listen up immediately, but at the same time if it ever has to do that pretty much every non-custom ROM smartphone made in the US after a certain date will ring an alarm and broadcast an audible message. The latter is scary as fuck due to the loudness, scary ass synthesised voice which is combined by the time lag of different carriers.
I wonder if the US has orders for sites like Google, Facebook or Netflix to do anything. Considering how many people use the internet rather than TV or Radio, I feel they should have a part in it.
Late response, but I'm not sure. I know phones have presidential alerts programmed into them, along with amber alerts and emergency broadcasts.

FUCK THIS IT IS 10PM I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS SHIT. WHY THE FUCK DID I WATCH THAT NOW I HAVE TO CLOSE THE WINDOWS AND EVERYTHING OR I AM NOT SLEEPING. FUCK YOU.
My TV has a weird issue where, out of the blue, an extremely loud static sound will happen until it's turned off and back on. It's loud enough that you wake up instantly, and won't be able to get back to sleep. I hate it.
And its always at the latest part of night when there's no noise inside or outside so you wake up to that being the only sound and when its done, going back to complete silence
And now that phones do it, too, I get the pleasure of being woken up by the same noise, a foot away from my head at 6 in the morning. I hope it's worth it, children.
This actually recently happened in my region (southern New England) on the radio. The broadcast sound came on and then proceeded to announce a tsunami warning. Tsunamis are practically non-existent here.
It was a minor news cycle phenomenon. Apparently it was a test, except that they only ever said it was a test once at the very beginning, before spending about two minutes giving a very detailed warning.
I went through a fun government conspiracy stage when I was like, 14 or so, and I remember hearing what an emergency broadcast sounds like fore a nuke attack.
I was home alone with my brother, a few years later (last year), and we had the tv on while we were sword fighting. The channel went quiet and then all of a sudden, all you here is a faint static and "EYHRRRRR EYHRRRRR THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROUDCAST" I instantly started sweating and my heart went full hummingbird! It was one of those fucking tests, but my god, I was just panicking, thinking what to do!
Do I call mom? Will she know what to do? The cops? My neighbors? Can we survive a nuke under our house? Let's not try... it was terrifying...

A radio broadcast warning you not to look outside, without any further information.
I once lived with a couple roommates. One of them came from piss drunk, walked into another roommate's bedroom, dropped his pants, and sat on the edge of the bed, taking a shit on the bed and this piss stream soaking the guy's dresser.
I got used to waking up to it, but now when I hear it outside of waking up, it drives me insane. It didn't help that it was also the default ringtone. I'm still getting over the habitual feeling of dread anytime someone calls, even with a different ringtone.
Oh god I clicked that and my brain had this Pavlovian "omggg 5am already???" reaction.
Although, I hate that one less than whatever the one is that sounds like it belongs in King Arthur's court with ladies dancing all around. My husband uses that one, and sleeps through it 90% of the time until I elbow him and tell him to turn that shit off. I hate his far worse than mine because mine NEVER plays all the way to the end.
No, it's a stock tone on Android - I just went and found it and it's called Meadow Sunrise. I never knew what it was called before now and it always evoked images of Medieval Times or something in my brain.
I would honestly enjoy waking up to this. It'd be an automatic good day if it always started with such a bubbly medley.

This happened to me with one piece of classical music that was the default alarm on my old alarm clock. It got to the point that hearing it in a store or elevator or whatever just filled me with dread.
Naturally, my brother noticed this and decided to learn it on piano and play it constantly. I love that kid, but damn, he can be such a little shit.
If anyone is still using this fucking abysmal alarm tone, change it to Flying in the sky or Journey immediately. I had Morning Flower alarm for about two weeks before wanting to rip my dick off every morning out of pure rage. Alternate between Flying in the sky and Journey and you'll be sweet. If you want an alarm tone to set 5-10 minutes before your actual waking time alarm to ease into it (highly recommend this), get some Rustling in the trees going.

I dunno there was one I found on the Samsung phones (can't remember off the top of my head now) that eventually devolved into a very loud beeping after about 10 seconds, I hated that thing eventually.

I'm an iphone user so I haven't been violated daily by that, but it sounds pretty lovely to me. Funny to think how even such a nice melody can drive us so crazy when used inappropriately.
Holy shit, my roommate used to have this as a alarm and he didn't wake up for shit, so I had to be in my bed and I had to listen to this. Sometimes I screamed at him to wake up, sometimes even that didn't work.
The hatred I have for this ringtone is immeasurable. I chose it when I started working because it sounded like a nice, calm, cheerful tone to wake up to. Now it sounds like Satan's screeching in my ear at 5:45 AM every. single. weekday.

Oh my fuck I dreaded the shit waking up to that. Funny story though, I remember having a dream when I was in class or something and then the alarm went off and the dream just turned into a line of flowers randomly sprouting from the ground. Thought it was ironic that it's called Morning Flower

I use this for my alarm and my coworker decided to start using this as an alarm on his cell during the day to remind him of lunch and other things... I had to hear it throughout the day everyday. It also didn't help that he was the most annoying coworker in every other way as well.
I hate this alarm so much and I don't even use it. My stupid, lazy brother uses it and sleeps through it and it just goes on and on and on. He can sleep through it for hours. I hate it so
...it did happen though. I use that alarm every day, he's pretty familiar.
He also jumps up and runs when he hears the Windows shutdown sound, because it means I'm standing up even if he's asleep on my lap.

If you're into thriller books, go read Blindness by Josรฉ Saramago.
I've actually been temporarily blind for a while. Pretty damn freaky.
I smacked the back of my head against the driveway hard as a kid and instantly went blind. What I saw was exactly what you see in pitch blackness; little pinpricks of randomly colored light shifting around on a black, depthless field.
Seeing that as I gingerly stood up from the asphalt with my eyes open on a sunny, clear day was a little freaky, but it didn't really hit me until my mom called me and I tried walking to her by hearing. I walked straight into a tree.
She thought I was kidding, and between hearing the fear in her voice and the physical impact of the tree bark gently punching me in the nose, the gravity of the situation hit me, hard and I was suddenly just trying to hold it together while I got bundled into the van and driven the the ER.
My sight returned right as we parked, when the sliding door opened. I still remember that moment, the sound of the door opening, looking down out of the seat behind the driver at the parking lot pavement.
TL;DR: I did for a bit, and yeah, it was very scary. only lasted for about 15 minutes or so, but... man. That was terrifying.
When I was a kid I got real bad poison ivy. I woke up one morning not able to open my eyes. Apparently I had itched my eyes sometime in my sleep and spread the poison ivy so my eyelids had swelled up keeping my eyes shut.

holy shit, how disorienting would that be? you wouldn't know if you are really awake, this is a different life, a dream world where i can't see properly. "I feel like im awake, like im in my room, i can feel and hear like normal life, but,,,my vision, this can't be real". thrashing about trying to wake yourself up until finally realizing this is real, you are blind.
A bigger fear for me is just suddenly getting amnesia of x amount of years x years from now so I only have my memories up to right now. Suddenly people I know are dead or completely different. People I know are now married and others have divorced. Strangers are my new best friends and old best friends are bitter enemies. I could be married and have children or even possibly grandchildren and they'd be complete strangers.

That happened to me! It was terrifying!
...Turns out I got maple syrup on my eye lashes from drunkenly making pancakes the night before and they just crusted shut.
That happened to me once. A kid I used to be friends with convinced me and another kid to take a bunch of robitussin one night when we were in high school. It's a long story but I woke up and couldn't see. It wasn't just blackness, it was like my brain couldn't make sense of what my eyes were seeing. I remember staring at the clock and knowing that I was staring at the clock but I couldn't read it. I also couldn't stand up so I had to throw myself off of the bed and crawl my way over to where my other friend was sleeping to try to wake him up. It took me like 20 minutes of shaking him and yelling to wake him up, I was convinced he was dead and that I was going to be permanently blind.
Yeah, I'm not usually that type of person either. I don't even smoke weed! But peer pressure can be one hell of a drug. I tried backing out of it but the kid really pushed. I haven't done anything since then though and that kids in jail now.
Worst torture: acid in eyes and ears, amputate limbs. Can't even kill yourself.

True. I read an excellent book about the big cats of Australia once. IIRC, there have been 63 confirmed instances of large predatory cats being released into the wild in Australia, mostly exotic pets and zoo/circus escapes.

When you spend a lot of time in austere backcountry, you really start to get a feel for what's right and what's wrong. I feel perfectly at home in places that have other people thinking of slasher movies, but sometimes you'll feel something is off, and you just can't relax. That's when you really realize why people stuck together in clusters to begin with.
Dead silence in mountainous areas, especially when the predators go silent, is scary shit. In my area, if you're camping, when the bobcats and coyotes go silent, you lock yourself in your car and hope it's just a mountain lion.
If it was total silence and it was just because the world around me had disappeared and I was floating in an alternate dimension, I would be okay with it.

This happens to me about once a year. I was born with a cleft palate and have had ear problems my whole life. I have scars on my ear drums from all the tubes I've had put in to help with drainage. I'll wake up sometimes unable to hear out of one ear or the other. A few times it has been both ears and I'm effectively deaf for several days. The worst is when it has the whoosing or ringing sounds.

I'm not super familiar with how to link things. Fell ass backwards into getting it right once, but I remember it was the cover story of a magazine once. Didn't remember what the magazine was, so I did a quick google. Before commenting. Googling sudden deafness or sshl yields a large number of results, plenty of which are reliable.
Edit: Figured out who the article was about- rapper Foxy Brown. There's a People magazine article and a Billboard article. Not exactly class a journalism, but that was what I remember reading.
This happens to me sometimes; because i just dont clean my ears sometimes and laying down on my bed sideways, the pillow presses on my ear and pushes all the earwax down my ear and i just lose my hearing in that ear. I know its gross, but no matter how clean i get my ears, its back to that state way faster than i thought itd get. Trying to dig it out of your ear risks making it worse, so its a gamble to do anything about it. I couldnt hear for a week because of this. yay.
So i'll just wake up, and not be able to hear a damn thing. my only thought is "oh fucking hell, not again."
You would not believe how much of that stuff is automated these days, but they're all trained for it in the event the machine misses something.
It's the knowledge they carry that necessitates them, for the most part. Lots of them work quite hard, even if you see them reading something. There are always bad apples, but in a career path like that it's pretty easy to lay the blame on an anesthesia failure based on evidence and records and you don't want to be an anesthetist who has spontaneous 'recoveries' on their record.
I think that depends on how long you procrastinated after your dentist told you they need to come out.
Enjoy 2 days of jello and soup... I thought I was going to be eating ice cream, only to be told by the discharge nurse "no dairy". Something something phlegm is bad.
Reminds me of a conspiracy I heard: what if anesthetic doesn't put you to sleep, it just completely paralyzes you and prevents your brain from registering events in your long term memory? Imagine being completely concious during a surgery but unable to do or say anything...
I've never been that drunk. I have "come to" in the woods and realized that no, this is not a shortcut home. I have also puked on my friend's floor because I couldn't get up in time for the bathroom.

I once was awoken at 3am by my drunk stepsister turning on my bedroom light and stumbling in. Apparently she thought it was the washroom, despite my objections. She proceeded to knock my winter hat off the wall, sit on it, pee in it and leave. I just kinda laid there wondering WTF to do.
The amazing part was when the ever-curious cat who was also sleeping in the room walked over, sniffed the hat that was currently a toilet, and just turned to me and gave a perfect "the fuck?" meow/look. Couldn't have been executed better if it had been a movie.
Alcohol isn't a hallucinogenic. If someone is so drunk they'd peeing in a closet it's not because they think they're in a bathroom, it's because they don't care of they think it's funny.

I honestly don't get it. I've been black out drunk many times (0 memories of what happened the whole night), and I never pissed myself or somewhere else than the house's toilets.

I managed to do it, kinda forgot to close the door though...
My husband woke up in the middle of the night after a night of drinking and did this. Luckily we have separate closets and he peed in his own closet, but still, I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. He finished up after insisting he was peeing in the toilet and goes back to bed like nothing.

An ex boyfriend of mine did this twice in one night. Once he peed against the wall at the end of the bed, a few hours later peed in the closet. Both times I asked "what the fuck?!" and was met with groans and reassurance that it was absolutely the toilet and what was my problem.
I always felt better about it when I remembered my friend waking up because her SO drunkenly vomited all over their bed, then proceeded to vomit in the closet as if it was the toilet.
My older brother and I lived together for a couple of years when we were both in paramedic school. I was ~23, he was about 26. One night, not long after I fell asleep, I woke up to the sound of him stumbling into my room. I figured he wanted to borrow something or whatever, so I ignored him and tried to go back to sleep. Until I heard the sound of a belt buckle and zipper. I open my eyes to see him preparing to piss on my TV. I yelled his name and he turned around, confused, trying to figure out when the shower learned how to talk, and eventually managed to reply "wha?" I had to explain to him that he was in my room, not the bathroom. He stumbled out and had no memory of it in the morning.

My cat knocking anything over. The goddamn balls with the bells in them rolling around on the floor at 2am. Cat trying to eat plastic bag. Cat playing with paper they got from fuck knows where..
Your cat chews plastic bags too?! I've had many cats in my lifetime and have never encountered this until now, with my current cat. He chews on that shit for like 15 minutes. He's also the dumbest cat I've ever had, maybe that has something to do with it..

Large thud, assume your cats knocked something down, resolve to deal with it in the morning, hear sirens and see lights in your window because your neighbor thought someone just fell over dead in your apartment so you have to explain to the police and paramedics that you just own cats.
They were probably hiding somewhere when you moved in. I had ping pong balls for my oldest cat once... It was the most annoying thing ever. She was also a kitten and particularly entertained by them and their noise.

Yeah, happened to me about a year ago. At the time I had only been working there for about a month, and that morning I was still drunk from the previous night. Had I been a little more coherent, I probably would have said I was very ill, but instead I said I would be in ASAP. Fought back vomit all day.
Oops, my bad! You've been doing it right, I got them mixed up.

And then you rush into work, disoriented as fuck, feeling like complete and utter shit. No thank you! This is why I triple-check my schedule, even going so far as to put a ruler beneath my name (or my finger, usually) to find the exact times that I work each day that week. I write it down twice and then done, like someone with a mad OCD-ritual or something.
I cannot and will not take the risk, even if I am registered as a part-timer. I am simply not a fan of that type of backlash. On the other hand, I've been late to work due to forgetting to set my alarm clock and also turning my alarm clock off, deliberately saying "fuck it" and going back to sleep.
Man not even getting wasted. If I have more than 3 beers i'm gonna feel awful and be off my game for half the next day. Getting truly wasted mean 24 hour or more hangover. That said with the Cubs in the wildcard tonight I might be putting myself through hell tomorrow...
This is why txt messages are great. Set am alarm, txt to say you're sick, switch your phone off, deal with the consequences when the hangover is manageable.

I finished my associate's while working for our company in the actual stores. I decided the Bachelor's wasn't worth going in debt for so I waited for an opportunity here at our corporate office to open up and went for it. I didn't get it a couple of times but I was persistent. I spent about a year in our help desk (place the stores would call when shit wasn't working) and used that experience to get into my current position.
Honestly I am working for a great company (top 50 best places to work in the US every single year and completely privately owned). Once I made it into the help desk I was set because we basically can set ourselves up to work in whatever department we want. If I wanted to switch to marketing or accounting or something tomorrow I could just tell my boss and they would send me over there on-loan to train/learn it.
If you really want to develop software just start doing it. All you need is a computer with an internet connection. A degree will get you into interviews easier, but a portfolio of programs you've built and things you've taught yourself will land you the job.
edit: One more note. You won't always land a developing job with no experience or degree, but you can look for Q/A positions or internships that have no problem hiring a new guy if you're willing to put the time in. I was a developer intern for about 8 months.

Especially if you're in a large apartment building, and 99.99% of the time it's just somebody burning their toast, but you still have to wait through 10 minutes of ear-bursting alarm sounds before you can go back to sleep. To make it worse, you're standing around wondering if maybe this is that 0.01% case, and maybe you should put on pants and a jacket.
Every night before I fall asleep I tell myself, everyone better be on their best damn behavior bc I am not waiting outside for the fire department to turn off this alarm you set off for burning your goddamn popcorn at 3am :|
Once during my university days, I came back from an evening football (that's soccer, y'all) game very late at night (like 3am or so) having missed my train and having waited forever for the next one.
As I came back into the flat, I saw a bit of smoke in the kitchen (behind a fire door). I got in there, letting as little smoke into the hallway as possible, turned off the pan of beans some fucker had drunkenly put on the stove and then passed out in bed, drowned them in water, turned on the extractor fans and went to bed. It was winter and it was snowing outside.
There were about 100 people in that building who never knew I saved their arses from freezing that night by probably 60 seconds.

Man... this I understand at least 75% of the time I'm the one that does the check and alarm reset because no one else knows how. And I can't just reset the alarm because the smoke is still in the air so I gotta turn it off and reset it a few hours later. I never even find out who burns their shit because they air it out through a window rather than show themselves and have me warn them. I'm just a resident too, not property management or anything.
In college some dumb shit threw a blunt into the fourth floor trashcan and it set off the the sprinkler system.
The fire alarm came on at 2am, and let me tell you that having a screaming alarm and a flashing light is disorienting as hell in a pitch black room.
Me and my roommate couldn't find the lightswitch because the strobe light made it impossible to get our bearings (like 1 blink every 10 seconds).
Had to spend the night outside because the college wouldn't let us into a lecture hall (fuckers).
The next time, some idiot put something in the oven with the syran wrap still on it, and it set off the alarm.
My roommate was trying to get me up and I just said "No, let me burn" and went back to sleep.
Got woken up by the RA, and got bitched at for putting on clothes.

Especially when you have an 8am class and it's the first time all semester that you were able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour because you finished your other class work and by some miracle didn't have to work that night. On top of that, you can't just stay inside and try and sleep through it because if you don't exit the building you can get a monetary fine by your university.
When you live on the 12th floor of a dorm, it's 3am, freezing, and you're beginning to develop that hangover you knew was coming anyway. Now you get to walk down 12 flights of stairs and wait in the freezing cold for an hour, then walk 12 flights back up because it takes 30 minutes to wait for the elevator and you just want to get to sleep.
The plus side was always the girls who didn't bring a jacket or throw on a bra. Nice.
My high school fire alarm system was buggy as hell and would just go off randomly. It got to the point where everyone just ignored the alarm. Then one day when there actually was a fire, they had to come over the PA system and say that there was a real fire.

Was woken up by the fire alarm at 4AM. A drunk guy had emptied a fire extinguisher (what happened before that I don't know), and promptly passed out next to it.
This almost happened to me a few days ago. Staying at a hotel in Denver, I'd just woken up and gotten dressed when the fire alarm went off. Went past the breakfast area to go outside and people were still sitting there like "fuck this. I have a bagel to eat."
My fire alarm went off and I didn't wake up. So, I think not waking up is slightly scarier.

This.
I lived in school housing when I went to school. The sound the alarm makes is very short, and only plays every five seconds. When the first sound plays, you just wake up and spend five seconds, heartbeat at 200, wondering what the fuck you just heard. Then it plays again and you gtfo.
I swear to god, if I had ever figured out what dumbfuck in my dorm thought it would be a good idea to smoke under the dorm entrance right next to the smoke detector at four am because it was fucking snowing, I would have killed them.

You know what's more ominous...
IDK about other countries but modern smartphones regardless of OS, sold in the US through carriers will broadcast an alarm and synthesised voice message at the government's discretion and this feature cannot be turned off unless you flash a non-OEM ROM.
I find it far more scary than the EAS, imagine if you're going about your day and all of your friend/co-worker's phones go off with such a message but with slight time lag due to different carriers and the same thing happens to everyone else near you with a smartphone, imagine if you were on a crowded street, everyone would stop and listen to see what was going on.

I've had my phone go off for an Amber Alert at like 3:00am once, fucking terrifying. Didn't even know it could do that, so I was suddenly awoken to an alarm tone I didn't even know my phone could make and not a normal "wake up" sound but a "serious shit" sound.

Exactly that shit, AMBER Alerts share the same broadcast system for EAS, radio and phones but the "presidential" warnings can't be muted unlike the AMBER Alerts. If that shit goes off during the day it's scary cause everyone has a smartphone nowadays. Where I live we also have WWII air raid sirens as well as the TV/radio EAS system, if any of the 2 go off I'm booking it, if I hear all 3 I'll take 5 seconds to wonder if I should seek shelter or a church.

Why use automated voices for pre-recorded programs...
As /u/Yrrem said, it's to ensure the message is clear and understandable. It prevents panic driven inflection which could make a situation worse. Furthermore, it makes the voice stand out. Nearly all Americans know how the EAS sounds.

Monotone voices make it extremely difficult to absorb critical details. Seriously, the bits about what to take and what to listen to? I completely glossed over them - like, I got that they were there, but completely missed the details in as inflection is an important aspect of speech over here.
This is a large part of why we struggle so much (and make fun of) certain accents - they're just completely unbearable to pay attention to.

Most situations will need a specific message, so cannot be pre-recorded except for maybe a generic description of the problem.
The emergency alert "voice" is well known and grabs your attention. It cannot be confused for the television on in the background. That voice means shit is going down.

It's VERY important. It makes sure there'll be a country to come back to after.
I've been in apartment for two years and I still feel the panic sometimes. Our garbage gets picked up on the street once a week just like when we lived in a house, and sometimes I hear the truck coming down the street and sit up in horror until I realize that I'm not responsible for setting out the garbage.
A garbage truck once played a part in the soundtrack of a nuclear war dream I was having. I woke up just as the roar and blast wave hit me in the dream only for the revved engine of the garbage truck outside my window to take over the dream soundtrack of the roar. It took several seconds to realize what the sound was. I was utterly baffled and freaked out by what was happening for a few minutes, even after the truck drove off.
I remember one place I lived the garbage truck would pick up the entire dumpster and flip in over the cab to dump it. They would then proceed to slam the empty dumpster up and down against the metal dump bed to dislodge anything stuck. Worst wake up ever and of course it's at 5:30 AM.

Everyone has a different experience, i'm sure no one who lived through both would still choose the 1st world problem as an answer.

What was worse was not having a Cram and being waken up by the chopping sound of a mortar flying over your tent at 1am. The explosions, then the incoming alarm sounds and you do the underwear trot to the bunker.

what is wrong with your mother? why did your sister have scabs on her head? why did she chose your bed to eat them on?
this sounds like something that would be great in a creepy story.

I've been redditing for a while, and nothing has hit me like that. My jaw literally dropped and I just stared at my screen for around 30 seconds in silence. Wow.
I've actually woken up to, "Wake up, the cops are here," more than once. Ahhh, the 90's....

Friend of mine woke up with a pistol in her face and guys with three letters on their jackets all over her house. Evidently one of her roommates had decided to start making money in less than legal ways.
The actual worst: "KELLY! WAKE UP! CHOW!" Fuck. In jail again. How the hell did I get here?? This has happened twice. (Yes I'm using my real last name.)

Check out the app "Sleep Cycle." I've been using it for about a year and it's a life changer. It measures your movement as you sleep and wakes you up at the right point in your sleep cycle so you feel refreshed.
It's like forgetting you were asleep. You just open your eyes and you're there. It's a miracle. No more snooze button.
Oh my god this app is a godsend. I've never woken up so smoothly in my life before it's like being gently lifted by an angel out of bed instead of lying down on it miserably for a few more hours

I know! Sometimes I just sit in bed for a minute enjoying that just woke up feeling, not even tempted to go back to sleep. Love it.
I don't know, I've been using the same app for a little over a year. Helped a little, but I wouldn't proclaim it the miracle that you're saying it is. I still hit snooze on the thing a few times every day and have trouble waking up.

Huh, well, doesn't work for everyone perfectly I suppose.
Are you getting more than six hours of sleep? Any possibility you have sleep apnea? Check out the little sleep quality graph when you wake up. If it shows a lot of spikes you could just be getting really disturbed sleep.

I love it, but I find myself just snacking the phone with my hand to snooze until the last second
Oh man, sleep cycle is the bomb! You can put in variables before you go to sleep at night, and the stats will tell you if any of them are affecting your sleep time or quality. I apparently sleep better after a work day, when the weather is cloudy, and when I've been anxious(?)

accelerometer in your phone. You lay in on your bed near your pillow, and run a test the first time you use it. It can detect veeerrry slight movement. It knows your asleep, I assume, based on data from other's movement habits, and eventually your movement habits.

You're putting it face down on the bed, near your pillow?
There's a spot in the settings of the app to test it. You place it where it tells you to, then lay down and move veeerrry slowly and it makes a sound when it detects movement.
I have a memory foam mattress and it seems to work fine for me... maybe I'm just a trasher in bed and you sleep like a log?

Look, it's 5:40am right now where I'm at. I hate getting up this early, but I'm working an earlier shift today. But I don't feel groggy. I feel refreshed and relaxed. And I didn't press snooze.

Super variable. I travel for work and my schedule changes all the time. I usually try to get a minimum of five hours of sleep. Last night I went to bed at 11p, sometimes it's earlier sometimes later.
Ugh no that app is bullshit. I mean, it works the way it says, but it DOES NOT have the desired effect on me. I would gain a little consciousness and have enough wits about me to know I had to keep still or the alarm would go off, and the gradually increasing cheerful good morning sounds are infuriating to me. So I would lay in bed for 10-15 minutes getting a crick in my neck because I couldn't move. I used it for a semester before deciding the anger wasn't worth it. I just switch up my alarm tones on my phone periodically now. I'm not a morning person.

No. I know it can happen though. It was on the news this one time about a boy who had two spiders in his ear giving him ear ache. Not sure about the laying eggs part, but I certainly wouldn't want to test if it could happen.

From a friend of mine: Waking up to hear an voice mail message of your mother straining and screaming whilst she's giving birth, no words, just screams.
My cat has seizures a lot of the time. Its usually pretty dramatic, lotta yowling and flopping and urinating going on. I get woken up to that noise in the middle of the night sometimes and its always scary.
She is medicated and its mostly under control but some slip through. The worst was like 6 months ago my new vet didn't trust me or didn't like me or what but she wouldn't refill the prescription and my cat went into a never ending seizure that resulted in a sleepless 48 hour emergency vet > regular vet > emergency vet> etc. as one opened and the other closed. It sucked a lot especially since my car died right after getting to the emergency vet the first time so my roommate had to shuttle me around and not sleep either.
If you just wake up naturally and hear a lawnmower a few houses down I think it's kind of nice. Usually a slight hint of fresh cut grass wafts through the window, it's probably a nice day, and I've gotten to sleep in.

On a Navy ship: Silence. There are always noises when everything is working correctly, always. Once something catostrophic goes wrong i.e. the diesel generators fail, there is a fire in engineering, or the electrical system goes haywire, the ship literally dies. The engines die and that constant push goes with it. The emerg lights pop on. You come to from your slumber to weird lights and total silence and instantly know something is wrong. Then everyone starts shouting. Happened to me twice on FFGs. The first was for a fire on our 1 of 2 remaining generators and the second had something to do with user error in the electrical system. Absolutely terrifying experiences.

Worst sound that ever woke me was my mom saying we needed to follow the ambulance. My dad had a heart attack in the middle of the night while we were on a road trip. I spent the rest of the night in my pj's in a small town hospital, not having a single fucking clue what was going on. Thankfully it was minor and they allowed us to go home so dad could see a local cardiologist. This was 22 years ago and he's still kicking ass.

Fuck those fucking things. We had three of those in res (dorms) last year. Once was at midnight, (we were all up anyway) there was a broken wire or something stupid. Second time was at 3:30am and some dickhead pulled the alarm. Third time was at 7am and I just rolled over and went back to sleep. That one turned out to be real, there was a small fire in the auto body shop that was put out before the fire trucks got there.
I have wild turkeys nesting outside my window. And roosters across the road. Every morning around 4am, they start a screaming war with each other. No amazing of ear plugs help. I'm slowly losing my mind.

Lived in an apartment across from a group home for physically and mentally disabled people for close to two years. Every week day at 7:30 am, a van would come to take various residents out for a few hours (therapy, group outings, etc.).... except instead of making a phone call or simply making a better effort to show up on time, the driver would lay on the horn rapidly for about 20 seconds to let the group home staff know that they were out front. And then, about a 30 seconds later, one of the wheelchair bound residents would proceed to wail an outrageously shrill wail for about 15-20 seconds before trailing off into a cackle.
The wailing I could get past - I understood. But that lazy asshole behind the wheel, honking at 7:30 am. That was the worst.

Someone waking you up with a gentle tap but teary voice.
I slept in my neighbor's house when my dad was hospitalized and mom had to attend him. He was 7 months in the hospital. One morning my neighbor woke me up and told me he died the night before.
I used to think a lawnmower was the worst when I was in high school but now I kind of don't mind and I enjoy the gas and fresh cut grass smell wafting in on a Saturday morning.
Now it's geese. I fucking hate geese. They never shut up. Ever.
After a night of heavy drinking I woke up to the sound of harps being played. My first thought was "I must be dead, because there are harps playing" It was both beautiful and terrifying until I remembered the girl next door played the harps. Then it was just annoying.
Last year, early morning Christmas Eve, I woke up to the sound of my cat making the worst coughing noise I've ever heard. She died shortly after I woke up, just long enough for me to pet her one last time. She was 12. That sound will haunt me for a very long time.

I never wake up or move so quickly as when my daughter wakes up from a nightmare. She's four, and she screams like she's being murdered. And even though I know that's it's probably just a dream, my body gets me the fuck out of bed and to her in amazing speed.
My son just sort of rolls into a slow wine when he's had a nightmare, so I'm able to make the decision of whether he needs intervention or just to deal with it. No dice with my daughter.
Somebody stirring their coffee. But instead of stirring like a normal person, they let the spoon clash against the inside walls of the mug creating an infuriatingly rhythmic "ting ting ting ting" noise. I can sleep through some pretty loud stuff, but for some reason coffee stirring is the most jarring thing I've woken up to.

My cat destroying the carpet by my bedroom door. Every morning like clockwork, at 4:30 he scratches at my door. So I let him in, then 30 mins later he's at it again. If I leave the door open he starts destroying things and begging for attention. It's not nice waking up and knowing you're probably going to lose your damage deposit by the sounds of scratching and tearing coming from your door. I haven't had a solid nights sleep for weeks! It makes me so damn mad every time he does this.
The sound (and sensation) of a rather large cockroach hanging out on your ear. I think I would move to another state if that happened, preferably one with very few bugs (way up north). The memory alone would sour the entire region for me.
When I was a teenager, my Mom and brother went to visit my grandparents for two weeks but I stayed behind with Dad as I was rocking the 24 dollar a week paper route back then.
On the surface, this was awesome, Dad pretty well let me watch or do what I wanted until all hours (him being asleep on the couch helped this).
But every god-damned morning, at 6:30 or some shit, he'd BLAST Robin Williams' opening.
I forever love the comedian, but that movie was ruined for me forever... to this day even hearing snippets invokes the rage centre of my brain!
i use to go to bed at like 2-3am because i would work nights, my ex would sleep in my bed and force me to wake up at like 10am and if i didnt wake up practically instantly she would get insanely huffy and pouty and all bullshit.

Just a short while ago I had left my bedroom window open because it was so hot. This was probably the first time in years I've left my window open over night. My apartment window faces towards the road/intersection.
A drunk driver ended up swerving and hitting a parked car at about 3am. The screeching and smash sound were so terrifying to wake up to. It felt like he had crashed into my bedroom.

I was in the dorms when my university was plagued by serial bomb threats. That triggered the awful, earsplitting emergency alarms, with a computerized voice intoning "PLEASE EXIT THE BUILDING" every five seconds. It was fun to leave class maybe the first two times. The next twenty, not so much. Police had to search the buildings from top to bottom for every threat.
Then the threats started coming in at all hours, the worst being the 3 and 4 am evacuations. This was during freezing cold weather. They eventually started keeping cots in campus auditoriums and lobbies for the inevitable waves of shivering, bleary eyed students trying to find someplace to lay down. Most kids I knew started packing a "go bag" every night with extra blankets, snacks, and phone chargers.
I'm not sure they ever caught the guy calling in the threats, but I vividly remember being ripped awake by that goddamn alarm reverberating off the dorm's cinderblock walls.
Lived close to a mosque for 3 months. Every morning at 4.30 I was woken up by the call to prayer. Crappy speakers, obviously. Enormously loud. Worst ever!

The person you went to bed with having sex with someone else.
Worst personal one for me was a really loud buzzing, I open my eyes and there was a wasp hovering about 6 inches above my face getting lower like it was about to sting.
I've honestly probably never woke up or got out of bed faster I had it killed in a panic about five seconds later and stopped sleeping with an open window.
A god damn smoke detector running low on batteries. These fucking things never seem to run low on batteries at 4:00 PM. Nope...they are programmed to only check battery life between the hours of midnight and 5:00 AM.
I have sleep paralysis and sometimes I'll "wake up" but not be able to move. This demon bitch comes out of my floor and walks around my room looking at all my shit like she's never seen it before.

Last year I was woken up at about 3:30 AM to a huge explosion directly outside my window. This was the loudest sound I have ever heard to date. I freaked out, I actually thought we were being bombed. I jumped up out of bed, screamed a little, almost wee'd myself, and my heart was jumping out of my chest. I live about 200 yards from a power plant, so I assume something exploded, but to this day I still don't know exactly what it was.
A crew drilling 3 yards away from you (who seems to have gotten their hands on the biggest drill on the planet).
A truck emptying containers of glass 8 yards away from you.

The house entry chime. But only it was not real, just another part of your dream. Now you can't get back to sleep because you're second guessing whether it was real or in the dream... It sounded so real. But, getting out of bed means it'll just take that much longer to get back to sleep. Did that chime go off? Is someone in the house? Won't know until morning.
The sound of construction equipment approaching your tent. This of course was accompanied by the earth shaking. I was in girl guides and we were camping out behind our headquarters, they were doing construction on the creek beside our building.

I woke up with a big start one morning to what sounded like a semi truck outside my bedroom window. I looked out the window and there was a garbage truck in my yard about 5 feet from my window... The dick decided it would be a good place to turn around. He got stuck and ripped up my yard pretty bad too.

Oooh I live in NYC down the block from a hospital so I have a whole list (in ascending shittiness):
My alarm.
People yelling at each other.
Dogs barking. There's a dog walker on our street that happens to come by around 7 AM some mornings and those dogs howl their stupid little canine brains out for about 15 minutes straight.
Ambulance sirens.
And the absolute worst ... DRUM ROLL PLEASE Cars honking. The non-emergency entrance to the hospital is on my block so we get a LOT of traffic. If someone holds up the works (happens about once a week in the morning) I will wake up to a beautiful symphony of car honks. Some short, furious notes mixed with long, drawn out bellows, etc. Can go on for minutes at a time until that fucker that double parked gets out of the damned way.
A crying baby is pretty horrible. Especially if you recognize the cry as "I am thirsty and have pooped and also peed through my diaper and my clothes onto all my sheets and blankets and it's 3am and you have to change all of these things and try to go back to sleep for a half an hour before your alarm wakes you up to go to work at 4:45."
Rumble strip on the side of the road, last sound I heard before I launched my car into a ravine in Kentucky, I don't drive anymore but if I'm asleep in the back seat and hear that sound it all comes back reaaal quick

Back in high school...
knock knock. "Zhurial you need to wake up to mow the lawn before it gets too hot!"
I came here to share my experience of waking up to my cat regurgitating a half digested mouse onto the same pillow that I was sleeping on at the time. I rolled my face right onto it. Warm, slimy, stinking carcass. I just about threw up myself once I turned on the bedside lamp and saw what I'd been rudely awakened by.
So, sound: cat ralphing inches away from your head. As if that wasn't bad enough, topped off by dipping your face into the mess in the dark and then sick feeling that comes when the light displays how bad it really is.
I sincerely hope that none of you have to experience that first hand.

I had once woken up to my car alarm going off at 3 in the morning. Look out the window into our parking courtyard and see a tow-truck hauling our car away. Was a sad night/morning
3 years ago I lived at an apartment that was a block away from the loudest siren in the area, it alerted the entire area of tornados and such (which this town likes to overreact about) it would go off at least once a week, and it was purely awful, woke us up one night and I honestly couldn't hear myself trying to scream at the top of my lungs to my SO
I lived with 2 room mates, they were dating at the time but got married and moved out last year. They literally, not figuratively, could not have a conversation without it turning into a screaming match. I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not. I think their personal insecurities just sort of glued them to eachother, for better or worse. In 3 years I never saw them speak to one another without screaming, not one single time. 0% exaggeration. It was always one of the same three basic fights too, in particular, the male was perfectly content to roll into work at exactly the time his shift started, the female had to be at her work half an hour early for some unknown reason. Short version, starting 4 years ago and ending one year ago I woke up to my room mates having a knock-down-drag-out screaming-and-throwing-stuff match at 6:30 AM(and for much of that time, I worked nights or had to meet some pretty intense deadlines.), literally every. single. day. for just under 3 years. They both owned several guns too, I honestly had plans for the day I heard them start shooting. Like, timed myself going out my window and around the house just in case. The things I heard, I was genuinely scared that something really dangerous was about to go down. I mean, statistically, that was a bad fuckin' place to be. In spite of that, nothing happened while I was there except two people in a disastrously combative relationship got married while I learned that the worst thing to wake up to is your room mates waking up the block.
I slept over a friend's and we left the TV on, imagine waking up to the TV pretty loudly with Helga shouting "ARNOLD!" every 5 seconds...God.Damn.

Screaming when sleeping on an airplane.
Was probably 2a.m. on a flight from DC to Florida and I fell asleep against my window (flight was delayed 7 hours. Don't fly United). I woke up to someone screaming "We need help! We need help!"
Let me tell you, waking up disoriented on an airplane to someone screaming immediately sends you into panic and this-is-where-i-die mode.
Turns out, a woman was having a heart attack. She ended up living. Even so, scariest moment of my life.
My alarm. It's the Witcher 2 main menu theme on max volume so there's no build up. It's just straight to the loud-ass noise. Gets me up in time for my 9:45 though.

For me it's something specific. One of my reptile terrariums has a timer for the light. Almost every morning the timer gets stuck just before the light should turn on, and it makes this grinding sound. It means I have to get out of bed shortly before my alarm goes off so I can reach down into a hard-to-reach area and turn the timer dial manually. Always the most frustrating thing to do first thing in the morning.

โKiiiids! Get up, the house is burning!". Screamed by my mother at 3AM.
Luckily it was just the garbage consumers that were burning and the fire brigade came pretty soon, but I've never went from deep sleep to sprinting out of the house this fast again...

I thought I would be cute and set my ringtone to a screaming woman. It was super super funny the first few days, until someone called me (a single woman living alone) at 3AM and I was woken up to AHHHH!! AHHHHHHH!!! OH GOD!!!!!! I was sure I was being murdered and it was my own screams or something. Nope, just me being so so clever.
i threw myself out of bed, changed my ringtone immediately, and slept on the couch.

Exactly one week before our wedding date, I woke up to the sound of my fiancee choking for air. Her entire body was tensed up, her eyes were wide with confusion and fear, and I honestly thought she was dying in front of me.
She was having a seizure, which is something she had never had a history of before that day. I called 911, and as I was on the phone, the seizure started to let up and she started breathing again. They sent an ambulance to get her.
When she reached a point where she could speak again, she couldn't make sense of anything that was happening. She had no idea who I was, why there were paramedics around her, or even what her name was. Her response to every question was a blank stare for 5-10 seconds, followed by a "....what?"
As I followed the ambulance to the hospital, I wondered if she would ever recover her memories, or if they were lost forever. Was our entire relationship gone in her brain? Would she ever remember me?
It was the scariest day of my life. I can still hear that sound in my head, and the possibility of waking up in that situation again absolutely terrifies me.
She's fine now, by the way. The doctors believe she has epilepsy, but they have never been able to confirm with with any of the tests they do. She takes anti-seizure medicine every day just in case. She has not experienced any other seizures like the one that morning. And our wedding went off as planned a week later. :)

The screaming sun from the 90% Earth from Rick and Morty
i absolutely hate being woken up by someone knocking on the door. also while in Lebanon i was awoken by my aunt and my grandma having a yelling match while my aunt was shaving her arm pits. i was on the couch and they were 2 feet away on the love seat. one of my bad memories from going over there
A cat jumping into a swamp cooler (evap cooler). This has happened twice in my life once when i was like 5 and once when I was 25. Both times it was off, but didn't have a cover on it.
When you are deep in sleep and wake up to the noise of a cat screaming while trying to get out of a metal box with water in it and you realize that it's the swamp cooler, your first semi conscious thought is that it's probably on and the cat is being shredded.
The last time it happened I let out a very instinctual scream as I ran into the living room. My adrenaline was pumping so hard and I was so frightened for the cat.

Your mother in law in your bedroom while you have a boner.
Then again maybe sleep paralysis is probably worst.
Sometimes, very rarely, when our dog is super tired from a big run or playing, he will let out a long, low howl in the middle of the night while he is sleeping. He is a 130lb Rottweiler, and his howl is loud and deep.
Every time it happens me and my wife both wake up instantly and sit straight up. I cant describe it, but its this weird primal anxiety that clicks off in the back of your head.
Somewhere deep down in our ancestors genes, there must be this memory of when canines were not always our best friends and companions. Honestly, for an instant, that howl makes me feel small, naked and alone against a vast, cold, ruthless night. A sound that shakes you to the core. A sound that reminds you that nature is both unforgiving and unpredictable while I am but flesh and bone.
That's when I lean over and give him a pat on his big head, with a jaw that can chew through bowling balls and truck tires, I remind myself we are best friends and he is made of snuggles, love and fluffy smugglefaces.
Oh I've got one for once! So have any of you been on the Maid of the Mist tour at Niagra falls? They put you on a boat and send you right up to the falls. Anyone who's been on this can attest how loud this is.
Anyway, 2 winters ago the water pipe right above my dorm room broke. Imagine it's 6am. You're asleep in bed. Suddenly this incredible roaring sound comes from the ceiling. It's pitch black still so you're looking around to see if a bomb went off or if there's a tornado or what the deal is. Suddenly gallons upon gallons of water start pouring from the light fixtures in your room before finally half the ceiling gives way (this was about 15 seconds in, still trying to get my bearings). And THEN the fire alarm starts going off. So you're forced to go outside in single digit weather wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and a blanket (not even shoes, those got soaked) while your room is getting flooded. That is, in my opinion, the worse sound to wake up to.

This actually happened to me. Wake up for school, Freshman in High School, and as I leave my room to walk down the stairs, I hear the phone ringing. It's early and I didn't like phone calls, so I let the machine get it. Just as I get to the bottom of the steps, our "please leave a message" response finishes. Mom's in the shower, and I'm about to get some cereal for breakfast. The beep goes, and I listen for a moment to see if it's something I need to know.
The shrieking cries of my sister on the other line woke me up better than any cup of coffee ever has. "HEEEELP" she screams in between tears. I rush to the phone to pick it up, to find out she's been in a car accident and she is stuck in her car on leaning off a bridge over a highway overpass. She had been driving to morning detention and hit an icy bridge and proceeded to roll her car multiple times against the guard rail on the bridge, nearly rolling right over it.
Not to be a major downer here, but your Mom crying. Last year my phone rang at 4:30am and when I picked up, all I could hear was my Mom crying and she could barely talk. She finally managed to get out "your Dad died in his sleep last night". Probably the worst thing I'll ever wake up to.
Tornado siren. Used to live directly underneath one. Did its job, happy about that, but test Wednesday was brutal. Made me literally jump awake, hearing the distant scrtch scrtch scrtch of the cats panicking over hard wood flooring.
Carbon monoxide alarm. Happened to me a few weeks back at 2:44am...only know this because I thought it was my actual alarm. Woke the husband and 2 kids up and made them get outside. Batteries were 2 weeks old, so I knew it was real. Called the fire department. They show up while 5 & 8y/o are bundled in blankets on the front porch to inform us it was a false alarm, some form of malfunction in the detector. Bought a new one that day.

Any sound at all. I like waking up and everything is quiet no one is yelling from across the street I don't hear any music from someone in the other house no one is talking or laughing. If I hear anything I immediately go back to sleep, if I don't I get up feeling great.
My apartment has wood floors that are set terribly. They're laminated planks of some kind, and the binding has worn or something. They floor makes the most awful crackling noises in certain spots. There are spots all over the apartment that may as well have firecrackers going off when stepped on. In the morning, auditory functions are heightened to the point where my girlfriend getting ready for work sounds like gunshots ringing out through the place. I'm a truly light sleeper, so anything slightly above the minimum decibel auditory to humans is the worst sound to wake up to.

I just saw this on getTV and he says "It was your throat being cut." The last time I saw this film was in a theater in 1976 and he says "It was the sound of your throat being cut." That line haunted me, I don't think I could possibly be wrong about that. It's one thing to bleep all the shits and fucks in the dialog, but changing that line was criminal.
Imagine you have gone to bed 4 hours ago, after drinking huge amounts of alcohol. It is summer and it is hot, so the windows are open. Now imagine waking up to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTJ-tIObk0k&t=122

When, at the late hour of 7 o'clock rolls around, your neighbors decide it's time to take part in a simultaneous reroofing and logging expedition. Ah, yes, the wonderful sounds of chainsaws, axes, and hammers going strong at the crack of dawn, maybe 30 feet from my window.
Worse, they seem to have no concept of how to actually complete the job, so a midst the bursts of thunderous work, you get to hear no less than three different angry languages arguing over what I can only assume is the best way to keep the whole neighborhood awake.
Why they felt the need to do this for a whole week is beyond me, but at the very least I don't need to worry about it anymore... except for the fact that they've moved over one lot and my favorite alarm clock is off to a wonderful, wonderful start.

Jackhammers. Living in the city, if you're woken up by sirens, a garbage truck, or someone being loud on the street, you know it's probably going to go away in a minute or two. Jackhammers can go on for hours.

A little click.....which turned out to be the sound of a safety being engaged on whatever automatic weapon the ATF uses when they sneak into your house in the middle of the night, BY MISTAKE, assuming they'd find a marijuana forest but instead only found a house full of aquariums of exotic fish...the power bill and the lights glowing though the covered windows looked suspicious, apparently.

A smoke alarm chirping because the battery is almost dead.
It always happens in the middle of the night, and then you spend the next half hour wandering the house with your head cocked, listening, trying to figure out which one it is. Having to go get the ladder from the garage and carry it in without hitting walls and doorways while half asleep is the icing on the cake.

Only to claim that it is totally fine if I didn't help her, but that obviously means if I don't help her she will yell at me about how she does everything in the house.

That's you, your fears, your doubts, all lined up like a firing squad ready to shoot you out of the sky." Or whatever that speech is. I fucking loved that speech.

Combine harvester starting up at the end of the bed.
From experience: Heavy breathing and creaking floor when all sleeping parties are accounted for
4am - wife and I were asleep. Don't know exactly how such a subtle sound woke me up, maybe I was a little restless that night. Brain fog meant the implications of the noise didn't settle in for a few seconds. I got out of bed abruptly, heard footsteps retreating down the stairs quickly. Adrenaline spiked so hard I swear it changed my physiology permanently, I dragged my wife out of bed and threw her in the closet with my phone and said "call 911 someone's in the apartment!" I ran to the top of the stairs, and thats when I hear a deep voice call from the bottom of the stairs, "I'll shoot you" -- holyyyyyy fffffuck. Goosebumps. I stopped, obviously, at the top of the stairs. Didn't feel safe in my own home for a couple months, god damn cats running up and down the stairs at night would send me reaching for a new 911 call several times. He had overturned a garbage can to crawl up on top of it, tore through screen to see if window was unlocked (it was) crawled in, stepped on my fucking laptop making his way in, took nothing (Grandview, OH 2010, those apartments right across the street from Kroger)

Parents arguing and cursing loudly. The serious type of fights, fists get thrown type of arguments. There's a rush of panic and fear waking up and running out the bedroom hoping it doesn't escalate. I don't sleep well anymore.
Hear my name being screamed... I instantly get frustrated with a headache and it just ruins my morning, and having my name said really loudly for no reason and having the light turned on to get me up at some absurd hour when I its my relax day.

Reapers.
I play the shit out of Mass Effect 3 when it came out to the point it was pretty much all I thought about. One morning there was a bang and crash so loud it shook the whole house, followed by what I could only describe as a roar. I was still half asleep and in panic mode, ran down stairs and was yelling at my family to get into the bomb shelter (My house was built in the 80's and the previous owner was into the whole Y2K prep thing), and that the Reapers were here. They all just sat and laughed while I was freaking out.
Turns out that someone was clearing out the trees by the high voltage lines next to the house with a helicopter and really powerful saw...

Car alarm at 4am. That was not turned off. The owner wasn't near their car. Called cops, they swung by, took down the license plate of the car and drove off. I almost went and grabbed a bat to smash a window so there would be a reason for the fucking alarm. I would have cheered if someone had been stealing that car. I would have thanked them profusely as they drove off, just so that sound would stop.
Also, SWAT team raid on the floor above you at 5am. Because that's when they think the dealers are going to be asleep. My primary thought was "can't you bust them more quietly?" On the plus side, they actually took care of the dog- brought him down to us to hang out in our apartment until one of the people who lived there and was not a dealer got back to take care of him.
I woke up because of one on the Big Island in Hawai'i and I swear I thought I heard a woman yelling for help in the woods. It scared the hell out of me. I hate them to this day!

While nothing can beat the sound of the traditional 'snooze' alarm, I did have an interesting experience waking up while camping. I was camping near a horse and goat farm with a good portion of the goat population being of the 'screaming' variety. Waking up to a passing herd of blood-curdling screams really puts a spring in your step.
an alarm when mine goes off i feel like shit the rest of the day, if i wake up early then i feel fine so every night is like a battle of wills with my sleepy mind and waking mind.
The original alarm clock sound. oh the DIDIDIDI DIDIDIDI is my absolute nightmare. I change alarm clock music every now and then so I don't get nightmare

the sound of the garbage truck going by, and it's the pick up day, and you are an idiot and forgot to put the bag out .... shit, now it's going to be in your house for another two weeks!
Family members screaming bloody fucking murder, like they are being attacked. The rush of adrenaline is almost painful, the urgency, the anxiety, the worry not only for them, but for what might happen to you when you come running into the room to help. 0/10 would not again.

Pretty late to the party but id like to throw in what ive been waking up to nearly every morning for the last 8 months. My foreign neighbors having loud conversations right beneath my window around 7AM. Every weekday morning, without fail. (I live in an apartment complex and they chat after their kids get on the school bus)

Besides real life emergency sounds, literally anything you pick for your alarm sound will be the worst thing you've ever heard after about a week because it's tied to the constant sleep disturbance. I used to try to pick songs I liked to wake me up, horrible fucking idea. I hate them now. Even cats purring loudly started to piss me off.
Waking up to my sister yelling at my mom is by far the worst. It takes her at least 30 mins to shut up and I usually don't have to be up for at least another hour. Happens like once a week.
A non pre-recorded Emergency Broadcast System alert. Because if they have to have some dude actually read out the warning instead of sticking on a tape it means that whatever it is, no one thought it was likely enough to get a pre-recording.

someone screaming "THEYRE TRYING TO GET ME!!!!" along with a bunch of other screams at a medical tent at a music festival after you passed out from dehydration and not knowing wtf is going on... waking up at a medical tent at a festival in general is not fun...
Your downstairs neighbor screaming bloody murder at her autistic son for God knows what (definitely something he doesn't deserve), hearing someone pound on their door to tell them to shut the fuck up, and then hearing the husband trying to calm the wife down after she kicks the kid out.
Water. One morning back in college, I woke up to my apartment flooding with water that was coming up from the kitchen sink drain. I had to leave for a few days. On the bright side, I had an indoor pool!

Honestly, hearing yelling and screaming between two people. I can say from person experience, waking up to the sound of your parents arguing not only starts your day horribly but just puts you in a bad mood.
My parents going in and out of our back door, slamming it every. single. time. It shakes the whole house. And they'll go in and out at least 4 times in a row. I have no idea what they do in the mornings, but I know that it pisses me off.

I woke up one night to the sound of someone hitting the mirrors off my car and gouging a hole in the roof. I went back to sleep not knowing what it was and woke up 15ish minutes later with the cops knocking on my door informing me of what happened.
To this day I have no idea who I pissed off, but this is probably the single worst thing anyone has ever done to me.
This will get buried, but the worst sound that ever woke me up, was thunder. Sounds pathetic, but let me explain...
I was asleep in my top floor flat, the windows on the slanting roof were half open as it was summer in Budapest and was particularly hot. Stroms can roll in pretty quickly sometimes and this was one of those times... Lightening struck the chimney approximately 1 metre from my window, which I was about 1 metre away from me. The resulting thunder was SO loud and had such force I bolted upright, had a surge of adrenaline start my heart pumping like crazy, still totally bemused from being woken up so suddenly and so loudly.
I swear nothing has shocked me more in my life than that noise, I'll never forget it. It took a good 5 seconds for me to realise my life as not on danger, took even longer for my heart rate to drop.
I still enjoy a good thunder storm but I never want to be quite that close again!
Cat screams. I have two cats who are sweetie pies and purr and coo and gurgle when it's time for toilet and breakfast.
I have one elderly cat who doesn't sugar coat or take shit. It'll just be dead silence and then all of a sudden the most blood-curdling -
"WWRREEEEEOOOOOOOWWWRR."
My dog whimpering because she only whimpers when she's about to piss on herself. She literally gives us no warning when her bladder starts to get full. :-\

I can't remember the name of the video, but it was a parody commercial for an alarm clock tailored to your fear. The alarm clock's body would be the object/animal you fear the most to be near, and it would scream like the object/animal you fear most to hear. In the end of the video it was a giant taxidermy bear screaming like a mountain lion.

The fire alarm in my dorm... every two weeks. It's so loud it actually hurts and it only gets louder once I leave my room and am trapped with it inside a small metal stairway.
Once I woke up to my ferret having a seizure. He was screaming, I started screaming. And the rest of my family was in the house but no one came to see if I was being murdered.

A god damn fucking moose.
I was camping out in Maine with a bunch of freshmen for an orientation weekend. The entire week leading up to these trips, we are leaders have it drilled into our heads that there will be freshmen trying to do dumb shit like bring booze and weed on these trips and that we needed to stay vigilant.
Being freshmen, it was assumed you'd have some kids that lacked experience with drinking and so the last thing we as leaders wanted was to deal with a hammered drunk 18 year old in the middle of the woods hours away from any emergency services. And I certainly didn't want to explain to some parents how their precious little angel suffocated on his own vomit while under my supervision.
But back to the Moose. First night, just past midnight, I'm nudged awake by my co-leader to what sounds like someone choking/vomiting violently and I'm up in immediate action (i.e. panic) mode. Instead of some drunk whippersnapper, I'm met with a full grown female Maine moose that had wandered into our camp sniff us out. The sound was the Moose promptly freaking out when the objects she was sniffing woke up and moved around suddenly.
None of us slept well that night, made the next 20 miles of hiking a real joy the following day.
The "About to die" noise from Sonic games. I have never even played the games but when I stayed at a friends a while back he had it as his alarm and it is AWFUL.

I hated waking up to a snowplow in my old apartment in the winter hours before I needed to get up. The plow was set up so that it would screech on the driveway and every time it got bit of snow plowed, it would put on reverse and the truck would BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Anything you choose, even if you liked it when you decided to set it as your alarm, will quickly become one of your most hated noises in the world. I have about a dozen songs that when I hear now I get a pain in my chest because they used to be my alarm when I got up for school.

Hotel fire alarm.
I was at a conference and the fire alarm went off at 4am. Then again at 4:15. And again. And again. Each room had an extremely loud hidden speaker; there was no sleeping through this. Each time after it went off, the desk staff would announce that management and security had investigated and declared it a false alarm. They ended up having to have a technician from their alarm company come in and trace wiring to find what kept triggering it.
Sessions started at 8:00am. The evening open-bar receptions ended at 11:00pm. No rooms were comped by the hotel. The next morning was a lot of fun, and the coffee lines were huge.

Someone knocking on the door.
An alarm is bad enough, cause that usually means you have to do something soon. But someone waking you up by knocking on the door usually means you have to do something RIGHT NOW.
My neighbor's dog barking right outside my bedroom window, i.e. the sound I wake up to basically every single morning. One of these days my neighbor is going to discover their dog has simply vanished.

Back in high school my alarm was a program on my computer that would play the worst klaxon you can imagine. Sounded like an air raid in my bedroom.
After a few weeks, the sound of my hard drive spinning up was enough to wake me and I would have the actual alarm off after the first tone.

Smoke alarms at 4:30am when you're in a hotel, alone, in the middle of a city you've never been to before. Or when you're home alone after a night of really heavy drinking. Or on the first night in your new apartment in a new city right after you finally fall asleep.
I have really bad luck with smoke alarms giving me mild heart attacks at odd hours of the night.
One night long ago I awoke to "We've got you surrounded!! Come out with your hands up!" and the sound of gunfire.
Loud gunfire. Like, in the next room or just outside the house loud gunfire.
I hit the floor, belly-crawled out to the living room ...
and discovered that my then-husband had programmed the VCR to record an action movie but had forgotten to hit mute or set the thing so it would record without turning the TV on. (I don't remember how that worked now).
The sound of incoming mortars or rockets on your base. That damn alarm, "incoming, incoming, incoming." Knowing that if its your time its your time. Eventually you wake up roll over and say fuck it.

Parents and other family members fighting. It's a weekend after a long week, and you hear shouting and swearing then silence, maybe a door slam, and you know the weekend is over.
It will take hours to figure out what happened, and chances are it's so trivial to be not worth finding out. You're the peacemaker in a volatile household so you feel as though your sleeping has betrayed you- if you were awake this might not have happened. Next time, next time, I will be awake before it happens.
In 2014, my grandmother was in seriously failing health. My family is in SC, and I live in CA... so there's no way to get home lickity-split if I needed to. The fastest I can do is 9 hours.
My phone woke me up one morning at 5am. It was my sister. She asked if she'd woken me up, I told her she had but it was okay. She burst into tears, and just said "You need to come home now."
I had a ticket booked within an hour, for later that day. The earliest I could get.
I tried to take a nap to get some rest, as I'd be traveling later that day with my 6 month old son. Again, I woke up to another phone call.
This time it was my mom, freaking out. "Did your sister call you? You don't need to come home, it's okay, it's not time!" .. and my heart fell, and broke.
Either A, things are really stressful at home and my grandmother isn't that ill yet... or B, she really is, and my mom is not coping.
I told her the ticket was bought so I'd be coming home anyway.
I got there on July 17. My grandmother passed on July 25.
I am so grateful for that time, because when I got there, she was still somewhat lucid and able to talk and spend time with me and my son. I was there to help my family through the whole mess, and I gave her euology.
Being woken up by those terrible phone calls was both awful and a complete stroke of luck.

Your bedroom window sliding open.
My 2nd year of university, I'm asleep. My cat is growling at the window, which was common because of neighborhood cats, so I just tried to fall back asleep.
Then I heard my window slide open (I had the basement room). I bolted up, and saw a dark figure crawling through the window. I panicked, grabbed the machete I kept next to my bed, and started yelling at the person. Turns out my roommate was drunk and forgot his key, but man it was scary.

My wife of 20 years passed last month. My alarm was her saying "hey its time to get up". I forgot to turn it off next day. Worst wake up ever.
I'm not going to say it was a sound. I didn't hear it.
It was the feeling.
Warm. Almost pleasantly warm, if not for the dampness against skin.
Then the smell. Oh the smell.
Let's just say I wish I would have woken up to gagging instead of my dog vomiting on my leg while I was sleeping.
It was like 3am when I woke up last year in pitch black to the sound of an explosion. Turns out one of the transformers? had exploded. (The poles with wires going through neighborhoods that gives power) To make things worse it was the one just 1 house away from me. Luckily nobody got hurt and the local fire department was there within 15 minutes iirc
I had a female roomy in college that was epileptic and never told anyone. She had a seizure in the night that started with a creepy low whining that became a full on blood curdling yell followed by convulsions. I busted into her room with a knife thinking it was an assault, and she had her eyes open and rolling around in diff directions, and when I tried to grab her to see what in the actual fuck was going on her joints and sockets would just pull out. The sound her shoulders made when I tried to pick her up still sticks with me. When my other roomy came in we called her sister, who didn't see why we were worried enough to call her @3am. She just said "just hang out with her until she comes back around, she's gonna be confused." Under. Statement. She cried for like an hour making babble until she was finally able to grasp what was going on. That shits unsettling.
Tl,dr. The howling sound of a roomies midnight seizure followed by the feeling n sound of accidentally dislocation her shoulder.
The sound of company, there is nothing worse than the sound of other people in your house before you have even started the day. Fucking morning people.
Worst I've ever heard was actually just a few months ago. My wife, while still asleep, ran her nails along the wall above our heads, like somebody scratching a chalk board. Sounded like something ripping through the wall right next to my head.
I went from perfectly calm, deep and restful sleep to "holy shit something dangerous is ripping through the wall to get into my house and kill us all and now I have to save the wife and progeny from certain doom" in about 0.4 seconds. Though I realized what it actually was almost immediately, that adrenaline rush basically kick started my day about 4 hours earlier than I would have liked.
Sure, it's probably pretty tame by most people's standards, but I'm sure I've led a sheltered life so this was probably the worst I've had.

Any alarm, especially if it's something you used to like before it wakes you up at 6am in the morning, and you're so angry that you throw your phone out the 5th story window, and proceed to watch it hit a pedestrian hard in the temple, killing him instantly.
That generic alarm clock noise. I absolutely dread having to here that noise, to the point where I started waking up 5 minutes before my alarm just so I didn't have to hear it. To me, that is the worst noise in existence.
Loud crackling and popping..... you wake in a smoke filled room, unable to see, choking on smoke, the heat growing ever stronger and the undying urge to seek fresh air with every horrid breath of thick black chemical infused smoke, you make it a few steps and collapse thinking to yourself why didn't you practice fire drills and know your multiple escape routes, WHY DIDN'T YOU REPLACE THE FIRE ALARM BATTERY! Your then awaken by someone furiously pushing on your chest trying to bring you back to life, forcing the air in your body and your blood to circulate after he just pulled you from your now non existent home. You gasp for the air, your esophagus and lungs reek in pain with every breath from the super heated gasses you inhaled as you are whisked away on the stretcher and off to recover. You tell yourself that from here on out you will remember to check and replace the batteries in your smoke detectors, so that just maybe the next sound you awake to is that fire alarm warning you to evacuate possibly saving your life.
That being said it is Fire Prevention Week everybody should check the batteries in their smoke detectors and make sure they are good and working because you never know when it may save your life in the middle of the night. Also make sure you have your escape routes pre-planned your front door is not always the safest route and window or alternate door can be used as an escape route as well always use the closest and safest escape route to where you are! If you have children make sure you run through a fire drill with them as well so they know what to do in the event of a fire and where to meet you once they get out of the house.
My house mate used to have the call of duty:MW2 Title screen music as his alarm, very loud. used to make me very tense and jittery until I got my fix of multiplayer.

The sound of my mother calling me from downstairs. She died 6 years ago. It doesn't happen much anymore. My dreaming subconscious sucks.
My 91 year old father lives with me, so the sound of a body hitting the floor is pretty unsettling. This happens occasionally and a couple of times it was NOT my imagination.
Serious and loud hammering on your door at any time in the morning after you've fallen asleep. It's abnormal and it's very rarely good news. Even when it's just a drunken friend "dropping by" at 3am, that's still not a good situation.

The sound of my dad gagging in the morning. My dad has been a constant smoker for close to 49 years now. I feel like the side effects of smoking is finally catching up to him. Every morning before he gets to work I hear him gagging, trying to get rid of his phlegm or whatever it is stuck in his throat. These sounds also include coughing and blowing his nose. Probably just as hard hearing it is actually seein my dad's face. Eyes all watery face all red and bits of snot next to his nostrils. Wish my dad stopped smoking...

This happened to me:
I was staying in a sketchy hotel on a business trip. I fell asleep to the TV on. I woke up at 4am to the TV off and Siri saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that."
My phone malfunctioned and held down the home button and the TV was on a timer. Silly now, but at 4am in a strange town that was really scary.
I was travelling home one night by bus.
Had fallen asleep; as I tend to do on long bus journeys.
Someone a few seats ahead had a soundbite from the cafe scene in Pulp Fiction set as their SMS alert
Being awoken by " Everybody be cool this is a robbery" is not an enjoyable experience;let me tell you.
Pitch black bus, groggy from sleep.
I actually whimpered.

Banjo music.
Freshman year of college, I had a roommate who plays the banjo, and used banjo music as his alarm. And every once in a while, he'd only hit snooze instead of off, and I had to either endure the banjo or get up and turn it off.
This Summer I was in a small town in Peru called Pisac. I woke up to the sound of sporadic gun shots at about 6:30am that lasted for almost an hour. I honestly thought someone was shooting up the hotel I was staying in so I just laid in my bed terrified to move. Turns out it was just the Church right across the street from where we were staying.

If you live in a sismic area, to the sound of the window panes vibrating loudly. Acompanied by the feeling of your bed shaking and your family screaming to get out of the house.
A DVD menu with sound on repeat. That shit always infuriates me when it wakes me up after I've fallen asleep to whatever movie.

The high pitched scream from your toddler. Not the screams for comfort or hungry/feeding time, but the screech that pierces you. Your heart drops and leap from bed in such a frenzy of panic trying to get to your child.
Happened once when my daughter got her hands stuck in the "rafters" of the upper bunkbed. Had a panic attack hearing that screeching "please help".

A buddy once woke me up by lighting some loud ass firecrackers in the room. You wake up to a confusing mix of "what was that fucking sound?" and "what is that awful smell?" Not pleasant at all, although pretty funny in retrospective
Believe me, living in apartment building where most of the apartments are still being built, a power drill against your bedroom wall at 8am is absolutely HORRENDOUS.
Your favorite song, you will end up hating it so much.

Surprised I haven't seen earthquake on here... hearing the ground being ripped from beneath you as you get nearly knocked out of your bed is NOT ideal. LA has other advantages though.
Depends on the earthquake... I was in one that made the bed move like an ocean wave. It was kind of nice. Woke me up, I looked at the clock. "5 am? Can't tell if dream or earthquake... Screw it, I'm going back to sleep."
I get up a few hours later... "Did we have an earthquake last night?" Yes, yes we did.

In Irish, a traditional curse is to wish the "morning scream" (scread na maidine) upon somebody. As in, you hope that somebody wakes up screaming because all their loved ones are dead in the bed beside them.
Hard to get much worse than that.

I went out got stoned and drunk went back to a friends house and fell asleep... woke up in morning with his sisters and mum crying and shouting hysterically that there cousins had been raped... true story, very strange
I've woken up to some crappy things...fires...screaming...my sleepwalking girlfriend hovering over me, just breathing and staring...but one of the scariest was a goddam moth flying in to my ear. I seriously had no idea what was going on, my mind couldn't make sense of the sound and sensation...
For me it was this impending 'end of the world' fire siren BLASTING while dead asleep in the middle of the night on the 10th floor of an old apartment building downtown. Asleep to sprinting down 10 flights in 4 seconds.

I'd have to say the general quarters call to battle stations on a naval ship. My dad told me that normally when he'd be on a cruise and hear it in the middle of the night, it wasn't that big of a deal, since he knew it was a drill. Especially if he knew they were in the middle of the Med or the Atlantic. It usually meant the captain was having trouble sleeping, so he figured why not run a drill.
But when he would hear that while they were in the gold during the first Gulf War, not so much. He was on an oiler, so they had enough ammo, bunker fuel and Jet-A on board to level a small third world country, and his station during general quarters was his office - tucked away in the bowels of the ship next to the boiler room, since he was the chief in charge of that department. He said a missile hit or a mine in the right spot would obliterate the ship so fast he'd not have time to process what was going on. One minute alive, dead the next. And even if he did survive, the chances of him making it topside were slim, since as chief, he would be the last to leave that area.

Pretty late but... A mother screaming when told that they have found her daughter's body.
I used to live in an apartment community that bordered half of a lake (quarry). My apartment had the honor of being just feet away from a cliff that kids liked to jump off of to swim. It was illegal as there was dangerous rocks below, and there were signs and fences... no matter. Daily the kids would go anyway until the cops came to ticket them. Some older and more daring would sneak in at night. That is what occurred around 3-4 am when a couple of guys and their bartender friend (the mother's daughter) needed a place to chill. Apparently the girl was pressured by her friends to jump, though she didn't want to. When she eventually did... she didn't survive and a little after 7am I woke up to the sound of the cops telling her mother they had found her body. The mother was 4 feet from my bedroom window and screaming at the cops to let her go to her because she "gave birth to her, [she] can help her". My classmate/neighbor had to give me a ride to school as my car was in the area taped off by the cops.
What makes this worse was that it echoed a boy's death earlier the same summer. That one occurred during the day but one of his attempted rescuers chilled in my apartment waiting for the detectives to come interview him.
I liked that apartment and its great view, but not the tragedy that came with it.

When I was in high school I was awoken from a dead sleep by an extremely loud bang. The power was out, the fan stopped and there was an eerie silence. Turns out the huge tree in our yard fell onto the power line in our driveway and knocked down the entire power grid on our street. I fell back asleep only to wake up to the sound of utility workers sawing and cleaning up the mess.
Or the time I woke up to a loud bang to look up and discover a guy with a knife in the doorway to my aunts bedroom.

Whining dogs. I love my dogs more than I love people, but it's awful waking up to them whining because you want nothing more than to get up and chill with them but you also want to go back into the nice warm blanket monastery.
There were a few times I remember as kid where my mom came into my room, threw off the covers and started screaming at me. It was horrible because it would be dark and I would be all disoriented.
A cat fight outside my window. Caught me right during deep sleep so I could not immediately recognize it. The human like screeches and rustling made it the scariest 10 seconds ever.

A puking cat is up the top. 4am . You hear the rowls, and then the hurling.
Half-blind you stumble around, felines darting between your ankles and yowling at you because they think it's breakfast time and you can't find the barf
After ten minutes of fruitless searching you give up. You go back to bed. You're just about to climb back under the sheets when you find the cat puke
My mom banging on my window repeatedly because she left her keys inside and locked herself outside of the house. It's not my fucking fault you're late to work, mom.
So I was on a high school trip from my architecture class to England. We went with another school that the out teacher was good friends with and so one of the hotels didn't have enough rooms so all 4 of us guys from my school had to sleep in one room. Note that one of them listens to like ghetto music and the one song he sets his alarm to starts off with a motherfucking gun shot. Woke up with a heart attack, in an unfamiliar hotel, in a different country, twice. Matter of fact I think all three others of us did.
-sleep
-doorbell
-fuck was that the door?
-who the fuck could it be?
-why would some fucker come to my door at 7 am on a saturday

-runs down stairs
-open door as fast as possible
-fuck theyre gone

Someone puking. Just the gag followed by the couple of seconds of silence... and then splash. My brother was diagnosed with the stomach flu earlier this year and I remembered for the two days that he had it; constantly waking up in the middle of the night just to let it out and then go back to sleep with only an hour at best of down-time before having to go back to it.
We sleep in the same room with a washroom connected so I get to hear it all. I'd just blast happy music and hum to rule it out. It sucked and I felt bad but certainly nasty to wake up to whether it be in the morning or the middle of the night.
Any of my favorite artists / songs. I tried that in college and developed an unpleasant association with the tunes. I couldn't listen to my favorite music anymore because it elicited a startle response similar to waking up in the morning.

I am on Baconreader [has anybody else had issues with the posts defaulting to "new" despite saying "best"] and I apologize if this has already been posted, as I can't find a "Search for Comment" feature.
My Android phones (Samsung Galaxy s2 as well as some unrembered [disremembered?] past models) had a sound file called "Rooster" loaded onto it. As you can imagine, it is the sound of a rooster crowing. I try to pick the most annoying/jarring sounds to wake me up in the morning and so far NOTHING has come close to matching that level of annoyance. I hate the sound byte with a passion and often hear the same caliber of sound used in various films and I experience the PTSD (apologies to the troops) of being woken up for class or work well before I've received the necessary amount of sleep.
Great alarm. Terrible sound.

A gas explosion in a townhouse in my street followed by the house collapsing.
At least (before you call me a monster no one was killed) it gave me the proof I needed when people don't believe when I tell them I really don't function in the morning. Had that been any closer to me, I'd been killed, with how useless I was, when I usually am so sharp and quick on my feet.

When you wake up, but you're I sleep paralysis and you can hear yourself breathing but can't move and can't open your eyes and your brain is still sending you signals as if you're dreaming so sometimes you think things are going on around you even though they're not.
This happened one time. Only once. I freaked the fuck out.
Your dog vomiting rocks. Then you have to get up and clean it so he doesn't try and eat it again and then when you get into bed, he's already in your spot so you sleep with only part of the blanket because you don't want to move the sad and sorry dog so you freeze and get barely any sleep and then you go to work in the morning and feel like shit for the entire day.

Probably an obvious answer, but your alarm. Especially when you use your phone and have the same song set to play. Eventually, every time you hear the song start up, even when out of context, it's just assaulting to your ears. Great way to ruin a song: change it up every few nights or so.

The sound of pooping right in front of your face.
or
The sound a family member makes when their hand was just accidentally cut off.
According to one of my friends, it's the sound of his 2-year-old screaming in abject terror... and then suddenly stopping, in the middle of the second shriek.
No real explanation to it, other than a bad dream. My friend and his wife were entirely freaked out and couldn't move for a few seconds, when they burst into the room, found her peacefully sleeping. She was more freaked out about mom and dad running in there and waking her up, apparently.
I lived in an apartment a few years ago, and one night around 3am, I woke up to something that sounded like some insane person was wailing at the top of their lungs from inside the apartment... I have never felt so terrified waking up like that. My first thoughts were, "FUCK why don't I have some kind of weapon to defend myself with, not even a damn lamp! (Ceiling light in this room). So I get out of bed and slowly walk towards the door. It's only getting louder and my hair is already standing as high as it can across my entire body. As I get to the door I notice that the sound is now... Behind me? Wtf? So I turn around and realize it's coming from the a/c wall unit... I unplugged it and the sound goes away. I plug it in again and the sound is back... I was never so relieved in my life. I still haven't forgotten what that damn broken a/c sounds like. Though I would imagine waking up to an actual insane person screaming in your house would be so much worse.

My upstairs neighbor who refused to wear a mask for her sleep apnea. She would snore so loud and then just stop, but after a few minutes she would cough herself awake from not breathing. I would wake up and constantly wonder is today the day where she doesn't cough herself awake and I have to call an ambulance? The next thing of course was if she woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep she would move around her furniture to keep herself occupied. Thankfully she was kind enough to have hardwood floors installed when she moved in so that there was no chance for silence whatsoever.
your child barfing. And calling for someone. Doesn't matter who. Kids get sick as hell real fast. Normal playing to 103ยฐ temperature in a few hours. Then they're fine by 10 in the morning. But it scares the shit out of you.

This is what woke me up at 5 am on 3 hours of sleep throughout my fraternity initiation week. It was pretty brutal and now the song brings back some painful memories
Probably the death of your child. Even if you don't know what that sound is at first I doubt you'd ever forget it.

:< one time when I was 12, my big Golden Retriever, Orrie (rest in peace faithful soul), was sleeping in my bed like he did every night. Orrie had a very comforting, large, gentle presence, and he purred when you pet him...admittedly it sounded more like a subdued, drawn out burp, but it was very cute.
One night Orrie must not have been feeling too good, because he was making unhappy noises. I was half-asleep and dreaming about Christmas morning and my dad giving me presents, when I heard this loud, long fffffFFFFFLLLLLLRRRRRRRPPPPPPFfffff~ - right before I woke up, I dreamt my dad looked behind me and said 'Oh well there's a big surprise right there'.
I woke up, got up, and found a pig puddle of doggy diarrhea in front of my door by stepping in it. Orrie looked devastated. I wasn't even mad, just hopped to the bathroom, cleaned off my foot, cleaned off Orrie's butt, told mom and dad, and comforted him.
So my absolute least favorite sound to wake up to is fffffFFFFFLLLLLLRRRRRRRPPPPPPFfffff~ because I associate it with stepping in dog dook.
Mosquitoes. OMGEEEEEEEE I cannot put up with those things.

Having a massive hangover and being woken up by jack hammer @ 7 am.
Where we used to live, I would wake up often to the sound of a rat scratching inside the bedroom wall. My wife slept through it most of the time, but every once in a while me trying to scare the thing away by beating on the wall would wake her up. I always told her I thought it was a squirrel - I guess because they're cuter than rats - but it was definitely a rat. The suspense of never knowing if that sucker was going to finally make its way through the wall at 3 a.m. was just too much for me to handle.
The loud garbage truck going down the street. You reminded yourself last week to keep your window shut, but the crickets are so peaceful to fall asleep to that you forgot, again.
I read a story on here once where a guy said he woke up to his wife screaming because she was violently bleeding out of her anus. Some medical jargen later it was revealing that she died from serious internal bleeding one random night.
So to answer the question, the worst sound to wake up to is your SO dying.

Not waking up, but falling asleep. When going to bed late in the summertime, the birds begin chirping at 3-4am. It is really, really annoying and very hard to fall asleep to. It must be something psychological, as it is probably a sign that one should wake up.

The rumble, and associated crashes, of a Magnitude 7 earthquake.
The sound of everything violently shaking around you, cause the ones I can sleep through are usually 3s or less - 4s and above usually cause enough a ruckus to get the heart racing - please don't get stronger
An animal sniffing around your head. When hiking in the mountains in grizzly territory, you never really know what this sound is. Could be a bear, could be a mountain goat. It's always been a goat or other harmless animal. But someday maybe it won't be.
For me (oddly), it's 10000 Fists by Disturbed. I had that set when I was younger as my alarm tone, and every morning I woke up really fast to turn it off because it just felt so...
A fucking fire drill. Literally just woke my up about an hour before i was supposed to get up. And now half an hour in, all I can do is reddit while I'm pissed off I'm not still asleep...

Waking up to a woman sobbing, and the even more cruel sound of softly shifting bed sheets as grief wracks through her, in the early morning silence. The quiet kind of sobbing; yet huge and lurching gasps of hot breath slipping past the wet noises of unheeded tears and mucous.

On the last few months I've been woken up at night by a weird scratching, clicking sound coming from a tiny air vent near the roof in my room. I have no idea what it is but it must speak to some primal subconscious part of my brain because it wakes me from a deep, deep sleep. I slowly wake up with a large sense of dread and a sort of calm panic (if that makes sense) and often I'm so tired I feel dizzy and slightly sick. I have absolutely no idea what it is though.
A racoon walking underneath your cot as you sleep on your front porch. Sleep paralysis? Please. This is full on paralyzation. A hungry, possibly rabid bandit is scouring for a midnight snack and you can feel his back brush the bottom of your cot to send an extra shiver down your spine.
You look to your left. Sitting on the cot-side table is an unopened can on Diet Coke. It's purpose isn't consumption; it's ammunition. You grab the can. The racoon walks towards the porch steps. When he sees you, he runs. Looks left, and hops into a tree. Now is your chance to strike. You see him climb. You study his path. You aim. You fire. You've hit the bastard right in the head. He falls and runs away faster than lightning.
You've protected your ground. You are king of the porch.

Air raid siren, 5:30 AM

The Tuesday noon siren in San Francisco, when it's neither Tuesday or noon. https://localwiki.org/sf/Tuesday_Noon_Siren
It's literally a WWII air raid siren system, they broadcast voice now but it's like a scary the world is going to end voice.
Also since my smartphone is no longer rooted, the mandatory alerts that are set to go off if there's a serious emergency. I got a new phone and forgot to mute the AMBER Alert sound and I nearly crapped my pants since it's a loud series of beeps followed by a scary voice synthesizer, if it warned of something other than an AMBER Alert I'd run for the hills if I didn't live on one.
That and the Emergency Alert System outside of tests, basically if the EAS gives instructions regardless of the instructions the tl;dr is "you're fucked". If the EBS ever says "...on behalf of the..." I'm telling everyone to shut up and I'm turning on the TV. Think about it 9/11 in the US it was all over the news so there was no point in using EAS because everyone knew, if something is bad enough that they had to use it... it's gotta be really fucking bad.
If I ever hear 2 of these simultaneously I'm booking to the nearest basement before the message even ends.
Also the sound of drywall or other materials buildings are made of cracking under an Earthquake, minor ones I could care less about but knowing that there's no chance the city I live in can get away from a big one unscathed on top of knowing what the last big one did...

This happened 3 years ago.

I have two:
Car tires screeching and then a child screaming followed by silence, and being in a tent alone in the middle of nowhere when you suddenly hear footsteps in your campsite.
The first is when my neighbor's dog was hit by a car, and the second turned out to be a park ranger checking our parking pass, but was the first time in my entire life I wished I had a gun. The absolute vulnerability of being in the middle of nowhere with no one around to help, separated from an unknown person by only a flimsy tent is indescribable.
The kids shouting in the block of flats next to me. You get shit from the parents when you play loud music at 17.00 but when their little angels are screaming their tiny asses off at 9am, that's adorable.
I was a US Army Infantryman... I would rather wake up to something exploding or someone shooting at me.

Guy I went to uni with told me a story once. He went to a party with his girlfriend, and stayed until most people had left.
He was pretty drunk, so he told his gf that he was going outside for some air. He headed upstairs first yo use the bathroom, and decided to crash in one of the bedrooms.
He woke up in the morning to the sound of his girlfriend being fucked by the parties host (her friend, not his). He recognised her distinctive screams coming from the next room. Apparently she though my friend went back to her place, which was nearby.
My friend walked straight out of there, and picked up his stuff from her place. He left her a note saying "stopped in the back room at the party last night. Have a nice life". Then he blocked her number and never spoke to her again.
They hadn't been dating too long, and the guy took it like a champ to be honest.

My worst was with an ex girlfriend after a night of insane drinking in Indianapolis. The place we were staying was next to a lot under development, & at 9am a fucking helicopter landed to drop off a bunch of construction stuff. About twenty feet from the window. No snooze button, just holding our heads in utter misery until it left. Fell back asleep, it came back in a half hour.

Many years ago I would set my stereo to wake me up with my own music. It worked pretty well.
However, one evening I slotted in my Pink Floyd "Final Cut" cassette (yeah, cassette, it was quite some time ago). Side 2 begins with the sound of an incoming missile which then explodes. I had the volume loud too.
I once woke up to hear this constant electrical zapping sound. Open my eyes, and my bedroom is filled with this black smoke. Sense of smell kicks in and it's definitely an electrical fire.
Turns out my puppy decided to take a piss on my surge protector. Somehow, everything except the surge protector survived.

I can think of two things, I'm not sure which is worse:
That crackling and popping sound of everything around being on fire.
The sound of a circular saw in way too close proximity than it should ever be in a bedroom.
It was a Monday morning, five days before my fifteenth birthday. I was home from school (this was during the holidays) and I woke up at 6:00 AM the way I always do. My room is adjacent to my parents' room, and as I woke up I heard what sounded like crying coming from their room. I knew that something was wrong, but I wasn't sure what, so I went in and there was my mom sitting on the edge of the bed in tears. She told me to come over to her, so I sat down and she put her arms around me and said, "Grandpa passed away last night." I felt as though someone had punched me in the stomach, and for a few moments my mind went blank. Then I started screaming, "No! You're lying to me! He can't be dead! This isn't true!" I was crying too, because in those few minutes the world as I knew it had fallen into tatters around me.
Grandpa was in his mid-nineties, and was the grandparent to whom I was the closest - my other grandpa was an alcoholic who died when I was five, and even though I visited my grandma fairly often, we didn't have the same kind of relationship. Grandpa's house was my second home growing up; I used to go there twice a week after school and every Sunday. I was his only grandchild, and he would buy me little presents all the time, not just any presents but things that were carefully chosen and handpicked - summer dresses, books, dolls, toys, tea sets, and everything that appeals to a child. As I grew older, he gave me all his medals and badges that he earned during the war, which are some of my most treasured possessions.
Watching him go from an independent man to being completely helpless broke my heart. He had to use a walker and often fell, and he went to hospital so many times for various things - shattering part of his kneecap, hitting his head, cutting his hand when he slipped in his shower - and it was so hard to see him so vulnerable.
When he died, he'd had a chest infection for a few days, and on his last day he also had a slight stroke. My mom and I were caring for him, and when he started having trouble breathing we called the paramedics because it was out of our control. Hearing him coughing and the rasping, bubbling sound of the fluid in his chest made me weep. It was a sound that traumatized me for months afterwards. Before they left to take him to the hospital, I kissed his forehead and told him I loved him. He couldn't talk, but managed a smile, and that smile is the last memory I have of him. He died an hour after being admitted.
Grandpa, you were more than a grandfather to me, you were one of my best friends. I think about you a lot, and reminisce on all the good times we had together. I know that you're in a happier place now, but I miss you so much. On that day when you closed your eyes for the last time, heaven gained another beautiful angel. I love you always and forever.
Damn...I'm crying now...all the memories have just come flooding back </3

My name.
Senior year of high school my step father had a rare blood disease and one morning randomly his heart gave out. She yelled my name and I ran out to see her crying against the wall on the phone with 911 and him on the floor. I tried CPR but with no luck. I still have nightmares of that scream sometimes. Wakes me up every time.
Essentially, i was sleeping in from a long school week on a saturday. The harder the sleep, the more contorted my body becomes. Well, my mom saw my arm in an odd position and thought she should "fix it."
After meeting sufficient resistance, she gave a quick yank and i woke up to an audible pop quickly followed by enough pain to almost shit my pants.
My parents fighting each other. Not anything physical, but on a Saturday morning it was the fucking worst. Just setting the tone for the whole fucking weekend and knowing it was started over some stupid bullshit that didn't even matter. Ugh, if there was ever a reason I never want to get married it's witnessing that complete failure of my parents marriage. God damn was I happy when they divorced.
I had one of those old fashioned alarm clocks with the metal bells that rings incredibly loud and shrill. Now whenever I hear metal clanking I get a mini-heart attack

Heard my dad get a call at 2am back in 2009 when I was 9. I heard him shouting over the phone sounding really sad then getting up in a hurry out of the house. Only to realise my Grandma passed away. I was super sad and I felt so sorry for my dad because he was orphaned from his dad at 6.

A couple years ago I was woken up at 1 in the morning by a call from my sister. She had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and was living alone with her three kids. I flailed around trying to answer it, still half asleep. When I finally picked it up all I heard was screaming and what sounded like things being thrown against a wall. I was yelling into the phone but getting no response. I didn't stop to think (If I had I would have called the cops) I threw on some shorts, grabbed a gun and drove twenty miles to her house speeding the whole way. When I got there the house was dark with no signs of anybody being awake inside. I almost broke the door down pounding on it only to have my sister answer it, half asleep and completely confused as to why her brother was standing outside her house in the middle of the night wearing only a pair of shorts and holding a gun. Turns out she had left the TV on with her phone sitting on the table next to it. Somehow it had called me and the sounds from the TV sounded like someone being killed. Still freaks me out to think back on all that was going through my head from the moment I got the call until I arrived at her house. That kind of adrenaline rush is something I could do without.

I had my phone to vibrate whenever I received a text, but it would ring in the middle of the night if someone called me (I figured if it was so important that they'd call, it would be something important.) I never received a call until one morning at about 6 AM.
It was from my sister. I'm in instant panic mode. It's 6 AM on a Tuesday morning. Is she ok? Mom and Dad? Grandparents? Aunts, uncles, cousins? Calm down, she has early classes, maybe her power's out and she just needs a place to straighten her hair or something...it might be fine.
I pick up the phone and answer it. No response. Did she just pocket dial me or something? Then I hear her crying in the background. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
It was a few seconds (felt like forever) later when she finally told me our neighbor had just died. We were pretty close with those neighbors. His daughter was 2 years older than me and the closest thing I had to a "friend" in the area that was my age. She was like a sister to me. Still a cunt (like my actual sister), but I couldn't be too picky. Her dad was like an uncle. I didn't see him too often, but he was a nice dude and we were always joking with each other or playing pranks.
Losing him was kind of hard, but man that was probably the best bad scenario that could happen.
I do still feel bad to this day because I didn't go to his funeral. I could have easily went, but told my parents my accounting professor would not allow me to miss his exam unless it was actual family. There wasn't even an exam until 2 weeks later.

I've only been woken up once in the dead of night by my ringtone and it was far from the worst sound I've woken up to, in fact it was brilliant.... The following conversation ensued:
Me: "Ughh (yawns) hello?"
Friend: Hi, how's it going?
Me: Ummmm....OK I guess, you?
Friend: Not too good, I'm in hospital...
Me: (Suddenly more awake) Shit! You OK? What happened?
Friend: I snapped my willy.

I imagine it to be much scarier when you live alone. With somebody else in the house you can at least calm yourself with the thought that it was just a family member accidentally breaking something.
Plus, maybe it's just me, but the mere thought of not being alone in a situation gives me more security, even if I know that whoever is with me will not be of any help.

Actually had the window right next to my bed break at 3am one night. I was half asleep, froze waiting for something to happen, and then bolted because I was a tiny teenaged girl at the time. Got my dad up and he checked it out. Thought I was full of it until we saw the cracked glass in the morning.Turns out there was something off with the foundation of the house and the shift was just enough for the glass to start giving on my window.

"His fears had been ever since growing upon him. He had been trying to fancy them causeless, but could not. He had been saying to himself --"It is nothing but the wind in the chimney --it is only a mouse crossing the floor," or "It is merely a cricket which has made a single chirp." Yes, he had been trying to comfort himself with these suppositions: but he had found all in vain. All in vain; because Death, in approaching him had stalked with his black shadow before him, and enveloped the victim."

Open the safe on my desk. Retrieve the device inside. Point it towards the door. Scream "I know you're in here, and I'm armed. Any attempt to come upstairs will be met with deadly force. Get the fuck out of my house!" While fiancรฉ grabs the shotgun out of the closet and racks it loudly for good measure.
I don't give a fuck what they take. Shit's replaceable and I have insurance. But, he comes upstairs where there's nothing of value besides her and the two kids... Guess I'm not getting my security deposit back.

I was about to post this. About 15 years ago I was living with a roommate in a townhouse in a not so nice area. Two in the morning on a weeknight there's a crash and I immediately go into hyper adrenaline mode flying down the stairs. Someone had thrown a brick through our glass sliding doors that went out to our back patio. I don't know if the intent was to rob us and they got scared and ran off or if it kids fucking with us but it was pretty damn terrifying.

Same. About 15 years ago also. I was 17, home alone, parents across the country. Sat in bed clutching a garden tool for a while, then went to investigate. Two broken picture windows and two bricks on the floor. I called the cops, but they didn't show, so I flagged one down in the street. He was busy going to tell someone to turn down their TV, so he forwarded the call. Two hours after the smashing, a cop showed up and basically insinuated it was my fault for something drug related. Never found out who did it.

That's how our town home was robbed while we were out, so I wouldn't be surprised if they intended to. They threw a chunk of concrete about 6in in diameter through our back patio door. Our dogs were penned in the kitchen where the patio door leads and we were fortunate that they weren't hurt during the ordeal.

Dude... if you are so poor you can't afford a $50 bed frame, any "sword" you have is, at best, what is referred to as a "wall hanger" and in no way should you entrust your safety to using it defensively.

Oh god this happened to me. I was sleeping in my room with a broken foot and there was this loud glass crash noise and it scared the shit out of me because I couldn't do anything so I had to wait for my parents to check it out. I was so scared for a solid minute.
Turns out the bathroom mirror fell down and shattered.

This. I sleep with our bedroom door shut and locked and I swear I heard a window in the next room shatter. It's 3am and I wake up my wife and grab this huge knife I have. I'm debating if we should call the police or not. I wake up my dogs too. Heart is racing. Finally I say fuck it and just barge out of the bedroom door with the knife.........and of course it's nothing. A few seconds later the freezer drops a fresh batch of ice out of the ice maker and makes the same damn sound that just woke me up. I felt so dumb, but I still couldn't go back to sleep.

/u/PirateKilt is lying bed after a long day. Tossing and turning among his many pillows, he searches for the cool half of the pillow. He finds it on the bottom half of a pillow he had unwittingly kicked off. Finally his eyes can no longer stay open. He knows he is about to pass out, he opens his mind to the concept of rest, then suddenly, KLLCHHHH, Glass breaking. \u\PirateKilt jolts up. He considers the weapons he might have within reach. A handgun in a safe downstairs, a knife in his desk one room over, and a baseball bat in his closet, feet away, alternatively, he is on the second floor, the window screen can be punched out and he could jump down to some bushes, his phone is at his bed side, and there are many places to hide. What is the next step?
PirateKilt ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 19:23:22 on October 7, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
He wakes up further and reaches to the side of the bed where the Speedvault is bolted, quickly keying in the code and retrieving his S&W5906 as it pops open. Rolling out of bed he tosses the phone to the Missus, "call 911", then grabs his Surefire (also on the bedside table, kept next to the cell phone) and moves to the end of the bed.
Reaching down he pats the 50 pounds of muscle and teeth that was also awakened by the sound, but remained at bedside per his training. "Alright Dozer... Seek" The pittie lets out a low growling chuff and darts out the bedroom doorway with PirateKilt close behind him...

Not quite glass breaking, but the couch creaking as if someone stepped on it, and the only way for that to happen was if someone were to come in through the window. Yup, that happened. I've been a VERY light sleeper ever since.

I set one alarm 30 minutes before the time I actually need to get up. One of two things happen with this. I wake up for a second, get a huge endorphin rush because "awww yeah I get to go back to bed" or I find im actually rested, get up 30 minutes earlier and make myself a full breakfast instead of just cereal or a bagel or whatever.

This has been happening to me for the past week. In Australia the sun suddenly decides to rise much earlier when summer approaches. We don't have daylight savings either, so when I wake up 10 minutes before my alarm goes off because it's 6.30am and the birds are making noise I always panic because it's basically daytime.

I am going my last year in high school in Sweden which is a big thing (high school, not going the last year) because our version of college is not something everyone goes to (not everyone does in the US but most people try).
We had our last class photo and it was supposed to be a funny one. I looked very much forward to it and then when the day came I woke up and immediately by the sound of the traffic outside knew I was late. Our photo was at 9 and I woke up at 12. Still sad about it.

It's amazing how quickly panic breaks sleep inertia, though. I'm not a morning person at all, but when I suddenly realise I have to be somewhere in five minutes, it's like an instant caffeine injection. None of the usual clumsiness or confusion. I've literally managed to pack a suitcase for a week long trip in five minutes.

I think that's probably a close second to waking up to nothing after you set an alarm, but because you woke up 20 minutes before the alarm is set to go off.
That way, you wake up in a panic thinking you're late, but you don't even get the benefit of the extra sleep.

This is true but there are certain sounds that jar you right out of your skin. There are two large barking dogs in my house and one of them belongs to me. There is no carpet in this house and nothing to buffer the barking. What I hate is when I drift off to sleep or am asleep and my dog lets out one very loud bark. It sounds like a damned alarm. It's so startling that it makes my heart race and it scares the crap out of me. My son's dog has the loudest bark of any dog I have ever heard but she doesn't just give out one bark. She barks and barks until I have to get up and threaten her life.

I overslept in Orlando once while I was on vacation. My flight home was at 9am. I woke up at 8:42am and went into "oh fuck I'm late" panic mode. But then I stopped the scrambling after two minutes because I realized I probably couldn't get dressed, travel to the airport, get through security, and board my plane all within 18 minutes. My brain is weird.

On the other hand, waking up, turning around and seeing you still have 2 hours of sleep left is one of the nicest ways.

Been getting this stupid feeling for the past week because I've been waking up hours earlier than my alarm naturally. Living in a new place, I'm not used to what morning looks like yet, so I just freak out until I find my phone. Then I'm already panic-awake and can't just sleep longer :(

3am, a fireman slamming your door open yelling at you to get out right now cause the apartment next to yours is on fire. Spend the next two hours standing in the rain in a bath robe before finally being told your apartment is no longer habitable.

The next worse that might sound oddly specific is waking up sleeping in a tent, knowing you are the only being who fell asleep in it, to a snuffling. Only to see a bear in the doorway outlined by the moon. If nothing else, wakes you up quicker than an alarm clock...

Similar thing happened to me a few months back, camping in the Australian bush.
I was woken up by a few wild dogs howling, sounded like they were a couple of kms away. While lying there trying to go back to sleep I established I needed to shit, so I headed off to the toilet, about 300m away.
It didn't occur to me until I was half-way there that the howling had gotten closer, and was now coming from all directions. The head-torch I was wearing didn't help much, and simply lit up the fog around me.
Turning back and holding the turd in wasn't an option, and where I was walking is where the kids play during the day, so I couldn't just drop it there and go back. I trudged on to the toilet, and did my business, with my eyes nervously watching the gap under the toilet door, and my ears taking in every sound around me. At this stage the howling had stopped.
I hurried back to my tent, dived inside, zipped it up, and started getting back into my sleeping bag. About 30 seconds after I got into the tent, the footsteps started. For about 2 minutes I could hear 4 or 5 sets of four-legged footsteps, walking around the tents my group were in. Then silence.

When we were out in the red centre, one of the guys I was with woke up to find a dingo rooting through his clothes. Ruined one of his shirts and scared the shit out of him, but nothing serious :P Dingoes are beautiful, but it's nice knowing that they're there beforehand.

My ex and I were woken up at around 3am by the sound of screaming. I bolted out of bed and when I got to the kitchen I saw an apartment opposite us on fire with the occupants trapped in their bedroom.
They didnt survive, and the worst part is they didnt clean/do anything to the apartment for about a month. So my view from the kitchen was a burnt out apartment with broken glass and blood all down it.
It was a pretty traumatic experience.

Yeah. Standing outside in the middle of winter while the firemen sucks. At least in my case, there was just superficial smoke damage (though the shared cellars were ruined).
But jumping right out of the shower and having your hair freeze while waiting for the fire to get better or worse isn't something I want to do again.

This is so true. I live in Tulsa, so they are rare to touch down in the city, but the last one to touchdown was a little one and everyone was outside looking at the storms.
I had to turn back early from a run because my phone was taken over by a severe weather alert and the storms that can make a tornado started moving towards my part of town.
But when the tornado sirens go off everyone looks outside because it's common and we know how to deal with tornados.
Plus, you should know where the tornado is, where it is going, when it will get there, and what to do if you are in its path.
The local meteorologists are some of the best in the nation because all types of bad weather happens in this part of the country. You wouldn't want to be the top cancer doc in the nation and never see a bad case. Oklahoma gets it all so they want to be here to experience it.

Can confirm. In the spring of 2012, while I was a student at Oklahoma State, there were some major storms that brought some tornadoes that touched down near Stillwater.
I was at my friends' house. We brought a 6 pack out, sat on their covered porch, and watched the storms and flooding from there. Hardest rain I've ever seen fall, and tornado sirens were going off. We were keeping track of where the tornadoes were, and were prepared to go to their basement if any of them decided to head in our direction though.

About five minutes later, the sirens went off. I delivered someone their food and went back to the store like it was any other day. Although, we did not accept any orders during the time the sirens were on.

But anyway, it's a really high pitched wail, then it yells "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!" and wails some more. Our poor kitty cries every time it goes off, and he runs around the house crying because he can't get away from it. I always have to cuddle him afterwards because he's so scared :(

How about NOT hearing the tornado sirens when it's needed most? 1996, Fort Smith, Arkansas. A tornado blew through town on a Sunday night. The tornado sirens on my side of the town failed to activate. We're lucky it didn't hit our side of the town. We only found out a tornado even hit the town when we got up Monday morning to get ready for school and work, and my mom and dad turned on the national news.

That's lucky. My family lived near Yukon actually in Piedmont. We were at red lobster eating AYCE crab legs when the shit hit the fan. We hurried home and piled in the cellar. Our shed actually got dropped on the cellar and all the men had to push their ways out, we had a brand new car that was upside down a football field away. My clothes and toys (I was like 6 at the time.) were strewn across our acreage. We lived on a slight hill in a ltwo story hand built, log cabin and ther were 4 other families livin below us on the hill in mobile homes. Only our cabin was destroyed. It was a very eerie sight to see. When the tons do hit you felt the pressure in the cellar drop. My ears popped and it sounded like there was a train above us. *edit: a letter and punctuation.

If it makes you feel any better, the sirens are designed to scare the shit out of you. It has to get your attention in a busy city, which is why it has that weird off-key tone that insinuates dread. Plus, they have to sound different than other sirens, like the Federal Signal Q that the CFD runs.

Depends on where you are. In Chicago they use that odd tone because it stands out from the background noise of the city so much. I'd wager that the kind of siren that's a block away from me here in small town Indiana would get drowned out in Chicago.

I lived near the edge of a couple counties and cities. At a maximum I could hear something like 5 different sirens going at once. It was nice to be able to tell which direction it was going without looking at the news though.

Typically, a single-tone alarm indicates an alert or test. If the alarm's tone is going up and down then shit is going down.

I know exactly what video you're talking about. I'm from Illinois, relocated to Massachusetts. I have anxiety, and the tornado signals used to freak me the fuck out as a kid especially so because of my anxiety.
But, whenever I come across that video, I always watch it. And I feel comfortable while it's playing. I don't know why, I guess it just reminds me of home.

My town used to have fire sirens at every fire station. They were used to call meetings, call for help from firefighters in that district, and on Halloween it would be used to call kids out to the station for the Halloween party. It was pretty great.
Then outsiders started moving in and complaining about the noise. Apparently those rich snobs in their million dollar houses don't like hearing what an old fashioned small town sounds like (though they don't seem to care about hearing Metallica blasted at 3 am by the local winery). All of the sirens were disconnected, and the firefighters use two-way radios to get fire calls. I'll be honest, I kind of miss them. They sound like home.

They're also designed to be used during an emergency. I can't imagine how or why a city could get away with using it for stuff like calling town meetings or calling in firefighters. It's pretty damn bad to get used to the sound of an emergency siren, especially when an actual emergency takes place.

My small hometown was pretty rural. The outpost fire station used the siren at noon and 5pm to let the farmers know what time it was. I grew up hearing it every day. Eventually it fell into disrepair, early 1990s I think, and they just abandoned the practice. I miss it too.

Where I grew up, they were used to signal that curfew had started for kids under 18.
Then, I moved out of state for 20 years. I went back a few weeks ago to visit family, and was completely thrown off guard by the air raid sirens going off. Scared the shit out of me until I remembered what they used them for.

Or the god damn Amber Alert, for a kid that's not even in the same state! As a parent a missing child is the worst, however a high pitched squeal for a missing 14 year old girl that ran off with her 16 year old boyfriend shouldn't be Amber Alert material. That's she's afraid of mom whipping her ass so she didn't come home material.

I always think of Silent Hill when I hear those sirens. For a few years I lived right over the hill from a volunteer fire station and there was nothing more unpleasant than waking up at 3 am to pitch blackness and that siren blaring at me. It use to scare the shit out of me.

This is the youtube link I have given: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTJ-tIObk0k&t=122
It consists of three parts:
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
2) CTJ-tIObk0k
3) &t=122
1) is always there, though it can be replaced by https://youtu.be/
Next you have 2), which is the unique ID of the video - capitalization matters!
Finally, there is 3), which is the modifier to the video. There are different things you can do to the video but to simply link a specific time, you add &t=999 to the video, the number being the number of seconds which have elapsed from the beginning. You may also write the time in the format &t=9h9m59s or just &t=9m59s.

I've woke up to these. Often it is too crappy outside to try to head to the shelter so you try to pull up the radar on the horrible signal (thick clouds) you have to see if you can go back to bed. The siren isn't too bad as it is decently often but the siren with the wind train noise is the worse. House got missed by a block diagonally earlier this year with minor damage. At least most of the time the night isn't as severe of storms.

Oh my god, nostalgia. It actually makes me really happy to hear this. It was my morning alarm for a good six months when I first switched from a landline to a cell phone several years ago. That cheery "Good moooorning! It's a beautiful day! " brings back so many memories of partying nearly every night and waking up still half-drunk to cook breakfast for all the random people still in my house and then drag myself off to work. (Strange that I was so much happier back then, with my life full of rampant alcoholism and dramatic, mooching fake friends.)

A roommate of mine set his ringtone to the one from bedtime stories after it came out a few years ago - unknown to me of course. Telemarketer or something called at like 2 am in the morning and he'd left his phone on the table, across a hallway from my room. Waking up to the very real sound of yelling right outside your room (being tired and scared shitless I didn't notice it was yelling RING and make the connection to a ring tone) easily one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. We changed the sheets that morning.

I wake up every morning to Rules of Nature, and I always get scared that a bug will keep pinching my toe, then I'll wave my arm to try to thwack at it twice, and on the second wave they grab me by the fingernail and throw me through the wall, then running up and cutting my arm as they run, and then cutting it clean off

I use the android streaming radio app 'Xiia Live' as my alarm clock. It allows you to use any online radio stream as an alarm that starts silent and slowly increases in volume over a period as long as 15 minutes. I usually just choose some mellow downtempo station (SomaFM stations recommended!) but if I want to mess with myself I select a talk radio station and let the voices slowly work into my morning dreams. :)
Seriously though, having a music station you enjoy slowly get louder is a much nicer way to wake up than having the same song jolt you awake every day.

I set my alarm tone to whatever my current ringtone is. It's an instrumental of a song I like but don't love. However whenever it goes off I wake up panicked that it's my boss calling to fire me for being late but then I see it's just my alarm so I actually get happy to wake up to it.

I used to set various songs as my alarm until I realized that it was making me hate music that I liked.
In college used to set my alarm to the local country station and put the alarm across the room so I would have to get out of bed to turn it off.
Thia strategy was really successful, the only reason I stopped was because it made me start every day in foul mood. Every day I said the same exact phrase as I got up: "awful fucking music". And every day I meant it.

Not if you make it something you love unconditionally. I set mine to the song "Before You Start Your Day" by Twenty One Pilots, both because it's appropriate, and I love it. I won't say it makes waking up enjoyable, but it is less annoying than just a beeping alarm.

A funny thing just like that happened to me. The next year that we dormed together he was next to my room again. So by the end of the year I was used to ignoring loud sounds. One day I woke up to a really loud noise. I couldn't tell what it was but it was loud as hell. In my half awake state I said fuck it and went back to sleep. About 5 minutes later a very angry dorm manager came into my room yelling at me. I woke up but it took me a good 30 seconds to realize what the hell was going on. Turns out the fire alarm had been going off for about 10 minutes by the time he got to me.

AUGH! My sister and I's bedrooms were right next to each other and she would set her alarm for 5:30 am everymorning for 4 years in highshcool.
She woke up naturally (she's a hell of a morning person) JUST before 5:30 and go take a shower.
Her alarm would be going off in her room for a half hour and I had to stay awake and listen to it while she took a shower.

My housemate who lives in the room directly above me had that alarm all last year and it drove me batty. She is a deep sleeper plus a snoozer, so she'd set the alarm at full volume and then press snooze three to ten times in a morning. I'm not a light sleeper, but Jesus on a cracker that woke me up every damn time.

I don't fault you for it but it's interesting that you could have changed it in the time it took you to write that comment. Also the combined amount of time you think about it during the week. Change it, friend, or even better, use a gentle alarm app.

Same, also too lazy to change it. Sometimes, I set two alarms. One day, I accidentally set one for 7:15pm (vs. AM), with that alarm, on a day I worked until 8pm. It went off after I stepped away from my desk, I heard it from across the office, and since then, I cannot recall the last time I felt so embarrassed. BA DA DA DA!

My work phone goes "It's time." Just once and in a no inflection monotone semi female voice. The first time I had to use my work phone as an alarm clock.My wife damn near punched me in the face as she awoke as if someone set her on fire. I could not stop laughing.

I actually used to LOVE that song, I'd wake up all smiley and excited and sing along. After a year of waking up a 4am to a job I absolutely despised and having that song essentially be the "Welcome to hell" Theme just ruined it for me. Even listening to it just now literally made my heart skip a beat with panic.

I don't know that one, and don't wish to listen to it before, but I had a noname chinese mobile which had the most godawful alarm tone in it. It sounded like a broken jet engine being fed dying cats. And it was even worse when it had gone under the bed and had to be fished out of its invisible hiding place.
I hope it gave the cunt who stole the phone a horrible wake up the next day.

My roommate in college for the second half of my sophomore year did this. It was horrible. Our rooms had a sink in the room and it was basically next to my head. I had to swap and sleep with my head the other direction just to get away from the sound.
Since it was a military college each rack in the bunk had to have a pillow at the opposite end from the other rack. So I had to explain to him why we needed to switch. Delicate situation when living in a shoebox for six months with some other guy.
It was the worst alarm clock ever.

My 30 year old neighbor is a heavy smoker and he already starts his day by clearing his throat of mucus every five seconds.

I bet the painkillers wore off. That is a horrible feelingโyou take your pills and wait for any faint opiate warmth to creep up so you can shut your eyes until you fall into a deep, relaxing sleep. Then 5 hours later it wears off and sends a jolt of feeling to your nerves. Now you wake up with intense pain from whatever your treating, while entering the beginning stages of opiate withdrawal.

That's great that your mom is better! I sincerely hope your mum, and everyone else's mothers who were/have been diagnosed with cancer, stay super-healthy and nothing, not even another dumb disease ever afflict her again.
Yes, it's a big wish, but I really do hope it comes to, however much possible. Cancer just shouldn't happen to mothers, ever. My own mom had to go through chemotherapy too, amongst other procedures, and seeing/hearing her cry in pain and not being able to do anything was, needless to say, absolutely horrible.

This actually happened to me this morning: a phone call, at an ungodly hour. In my experience you go through a pretty quick mix of emotions:
There's that split-second of terror. Someone is dead. Someone is injured. There was a break-in. Something is stolen. Something happened.
For me, this morning, the result wasn't that terrifying, though momentarily scary: it was the credit card fraud prevention line at my bank calling to verify some suspicious transactions. Apparently my wife buying 8 $2 shipping labels in a row on PayPal at 1 in the morning was considered suspicious, but it took them 2 hours to call me -- I guess they wanted to make sure I was sound asleep.

There are apps (hell I think newer versions of mobile OSes have this baked in) that will let you schedule quiet hours for your phone. My phone has been on silent overnight for years. You can even whitelist certain people so only some people can wake you up, or make it location based so your phone goes on vibrate at work, etc.

Why would you use an app when your phone does this? Do not disturb mode

So that if your parent, SO, child, or other person you've decided is important enough calls you at 3am because of an emergency your phone will still go off. Whereas it will stay silent for your credit card company.

iOS has had schedule-able Do Not Disturb (Quiet Mode) since iOS 6 I believe. You can set it to allow calls from certain contacts to always ring even in quiet mode, and set it so that if someone calls again within three minutes it will ring through.

I think it's funny how perception can differ.
I get called in the middle of the night often, and it has always been work calling me to come in. It has been that way for years. If I get a call in the middle of the night, all I feel is a mix of frustration and acceptance. The last thing I would think of is someone being hurt.

She said it was the most horrible feeling she'd ever experienced, physically and mentally, to have done that. She said she'd rather break her arm again than do that.

Reponsibility is not freedom, true. But you can't expect rights without responsibilities.
To give an example, think about political rights. You can vote, and you can be elected. I'm sure you will agree that whoever gets elected creates a responsibility who voted for them, and another responsibility for the politician themselves.

I'm talking about my freedom to up and do what I want. I don't have any kids in school, nor a partner tied down to a job.

That is assuming that the children you procreate don't want to move away to new places and start their own families with different people. That's great for your family that everyone chipped in for your grandparents. But it's not always the case for everyone and since that's a possibility that exists, you shouldn't put down people's ideas that their pets are just as important as a family member. Pets have been known to save the lives of people when no other human was around.

And you know it didn't really have a chance to try to do the right thing.
I've had a cat who'd let me know the litter box was too dirty (even though I cleaned it weekly) by peeing on the bathroom floor. I don't know if the idea was to get my attention/be passive aggressive by going somewhere I'd have to go often, to go on the tile floor where it was easy to clean, or to go near the toilet because it smelled like a toilet, but I appreciated it.
(I mean, I kept both litter box and toilet clean, but this cat was finicky, too dumb to bury her poop so it didn't stink afterward, and like any cat, had a keen sense of smell that no doubt could identify even the cleanest of toilets.)

When she woke up, we (stupidly) let the dog out of her crate...bad move, shit footprints all the way to the back door.
Next night, same thing. Carried the whole crate outside, left her outside.
That was around the time we stopped feeding her kibble and gave her raw food. She was way better after that.

First time we left our nervous doggy alone (for 15 minutes while I walked to the local shop for milk), she had managed to shit all over the floor, stand in it, and then scratch the door and wall with her shitty footprints.
Oh, she also ate a piece of skirting board. A good chunk was missing and chewed off, and we never found it. We assume she ate it. Gotta love dogs :)

We're so lucky with ours. Will not go on furniture. Absolutely trustworthy.
One of the few times she's had tummy troubles since going on the raw diet, she was home by herself, felt the urge, went into a room she never goes into that we were painting, and does what she has to do on the plastic dropsheet.
I honestly think she figured out that was the best place to go. Brilliant.

If you keep your dog out of hard to clean rooms, that is no problem at all. Just wash with a bucket of water.
Cats, on the other hand, will make your neighbors hate you if you let them out, and must be kept always inside. So their messes are worse than a dog's.

We strategically stationed stacks of printer paper through the apartment and THERES ALWAYS a round two barf so I usually take her by the scruff and make sure she finishes on the paper.... Sounds weirder now that I type it out.

Maybe you should look into a different food if your cat's barfing that much. They barf a lot, but it shouldn't be bad enough that you need stacks of paper around the place.

It's much better now. She was on special k/d diet food, and the science diet stuff was basically rocks. Lots of bad reviews online. After switching to Royal Canin it's way better... But the PTSD still lingers.

Science Diet is one of the worst brands of cat food around. It's recommended by so many vets because they get money for recommending it.

Yeah it's fucking garbage. I tried crushing it with a hammer and couldn't. I can't imagine what it's like on an older cats teeth. Apparently the wet food is bile too. Once we switched we had to make sure she didn't barf from eating it too fast cause she liked the new stuff so much.

Science diet is dreadful as you know, but royal canin still contains some dodgy ingredients, have you tried looking at things like applaws, purizon, and Orijen? They're slightly pricier per bag but they work out cheaper as you feed less as there's more nutrients and less filler and allergens.

Are they prescription ones? Our cat should only be eating special kidney stuff.
Nixie9 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 00:26:57 on October 8, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
It's actually found that cats with kidney problems should not be on the low protein high wheat diets and this can actually worsen the issue.
High quality protein issues like proper meat can actually help more.
This is a good explanation to how prescription diets aren't super great - http://www.catster.com/lifestyle/prescription-cat-food-diets-health-ask-a-vet
I had a cat who had k/d and a life prediction of 6 months, we switched him to a raw/high quality protein diet and he was fine for over 2 years.
dgiangiulio228 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 00:54:41 on October 8, 2015 ยท (Permalink)*
Our cat had a similar (extremely short) expiration date put on it too and we are into our second year using the k/d. I feel like vets can really over react sometimes in order to try and pawn off more expensive procedures on us cause they know we would do anything for our furry friends.
Edit: We also do the fluids under the skin twice a week which helps A TON. You can practically see the difference.

Cats aren't even sick a lot, I've had cats for years and have to clean up sick once a year. The ones that are sickly tend to be gluten intolerant so if you get a cat like that you probably need to get a wheat free food.

Take them to a vet to check, but also try changing their food. Whenever we got the cheap food my cats would barf more frequently. They would also barf more if they decided to get territorial with the other one (fighting on a full stomach).

My cat goes outside and eats grass, and always throws it up. I can't stop her unless I'm constantly watching, she always eats grass and always pukes it out. What do I do
toothofjustice ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 11:58:00 on October 9, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
You can buy this stuff called cat grass which will grow indoors on a windowsill in a pot. It's easier on the cats stomach than yard grass and dates their love of grass.
A lot of people say that cats eat grass to make themselves barf to fix an upset tummy. This isn't true according to my research. They eat grass to add fiber and because they like the taste. But you may want to consider changing up the cats food to a hairball formula or a wet food (or dry if your using wet).
Also I had a cat that would wolf down grass every time she got out. That stopped though, when we started letting her out regularly.

There's very specific grass seeds that you can plant in a flower pot. These special grasses help cats with their digestion.
If your situation is as bad as it sounds, you might wanna try these out.
Also make sure to put any lily plants far out of the cats reach, as they are poisonous to them and can cause your cat to throw up and eventually cause severe liver disease.

I have a very old dog that can't make it through the night without peeing anymore. For some reason though when she pees in the house, she always does it on the hardwood floor of our living room, where she's not allowed to enter. I've now developed the ability to instantly wake up in the middle of the night when I hear the "clack-clack-clack" of her slowly lumbering across the hardwood floor to her pee spot, and I sprint downstairs to let her outside. She basically has me trained.
Every time I make it down there before she's peed she just gives me this look like "Oh. What are you doing here? I'm just doing dog stuff." She's so old that she doesn't even give a shit that I'm catching her being bad.

It's because she is a Good Dog who realizes hardwood is much easier to clean pee off than carpet. You could just get up and wipe it in the morning. Unless you have some expensive beeswax finish on your floor, it's gonna be fine. Even cat puke wipes up from hardwood.

I had an old cat that couldnt make it to her box and always had a pee spot about half way from the bedroom to her box. I started using those puppy pee pads in the spot.

We recently bought a house with a wooden staircase. Very soon after moving in we discovered that our three-legged cat makes the exact noise when she goes down the stairs. Her back two paws land softly, then her front paw lands hard. "ka-HUK, ka-HUK, ka-HUK" all the way down the staircase.
It's been two months, and we still frequently stop talking to listen closely and determine if it's a barf or not.

Okay...I take great care of my pets, thanks. It was last winter, my house was freezing so he crawled under my blanket, and he had to throw up. What exactly did I do wrong, in your eyes? Let him in my bed?

My Doberman once just started diarrheaing all over the carpet in front of me. All I could do is get on my knees and cry "No..please...no" as it just kept splurting out.
Still not sure what caused it, but it's fine now.

One of mine will run away and hide if I try to steer him away from carpet / towards anything I would prefer, but if I hold him lightly and pet him while he's, erm; engaged, he stays where I point him.
I'm sticking with this technique.

There was somebody in my neighborhood who had really hollow-clompy-sounding heels, who would walk down the sidewalk past my apartment at 6am every morning. The tempo and the sort of klok-klok-klok sound her shoes made on the sidewalk were indistinguishable from how my larger cat sounds when he is about to hork. That lady has no idea how much sleep she has cost me over the years.

You're lucky it was only the carpet! I came here to share my experience of waking up to my cat regurgitating a half digested mouse onto the same pillow that I was sleeping on at the time. I rolled my face right onto it. Warm, slimy, stinking carcass. I just about threw up myself once I turned on the bedside lamp and saw what I'd been rudely awakened by.

For me it's the yowl she makes before she's gonna hurl. Makes no noise at all actually puking but she makes this blood-curdling yowl when she's about to, and that is my cue to get up and grab her and race her to the nearest not-carpet area.

My mom's small dog slept in my room when I still lived there. She'd throw up often in the middle of the night. I slept in a loft bed with no pajamas so there was no way I could get down the ladder, get a robe on, and get the dog out the door before she heaved. That sound haunts me.

Had to put my kitty to sleep a few weeks back, but had the dog version happen this morning. First, I woke up at 4am because my kid has a cold and was coughing, so I gave him his medicine but couldn't fall back asleep for awhile. I must have, though, because I woke to the sounds of hearing my dog laughing. "That can't be!" I thought to myself in my dream, and realized he was horking up a big steamer. I jumped out of bed to get him outside for the eventual ejection, but stepped on one of my kid's books he'd thoughtfully left at the floor of my bed. As my leg slid forward and my out of shape ass went into the splits, I heard the dog barf squelch out onto the floor outside my room. I worked my way up, got the dog outside, and as I'm scooping up paper towel wads of warm goo, my alarm starts blaring. I can't really rush in to turn it off without potentially dripping hot dog bark on my bed, so I carefully run to throw the first towel wad out. But dog decides he's done outside (it's raining and he's a terrible wuss) so he starts barking at the door. LOUDLY.
All of a sudden, me, a 41-year old grown-ass man, knows how that terrible, overburdened woman in the "Calgon, Take me Away!" commercials felt.

There's special types of grass seeds that you can buy in most gardening stores.
Cats generally enjoy gnawing on these plants and if they consume a small self-picked daily dose, they are much less likely to vomit or have diarrea, because the grass actually helps their digestion.
It should be a specific kind of plant though, so make sure to purchase the correct seeds.
Also your cat gotta learn to leave your other plants alone.
Whenever they try to gnaw on another plant just do a quick scolding sound (we use a specific finger snapping sound for this), pick it up and then set it in front of the grass plant.

Woke up to the dry heaving noise that cats make right before they throw up. As she was standing on my chest, face about 6 inches from mine. Put cat on floor, realized that she would throw up on carpet, grabbed cat, put her on the window sill, she throws up, easy to clean surface. So, no I haven't woken up to a cat puking on my face, but it was a close thing.

Ugh I've experience pretty much the exact opposite of this before. I was laying in bed when my door suddenly pops open and my black Labrador walks in. At the sound of the door opening I sort of sit up with my eyes still half asleep to glance at her. Then I see her lower her hind legs which immediately sets alarms off in my head. I jumped out of bed with my eyes wide open just in time for her to shit all over my carpet. And it wasn't just a shit shit, it was full on diarrhea shit. The shit made a line too because I tried shoving her out of my room before it was over, but I only made the problem worse. Probably my worst waking up experience ever.

I have three of them, and when one barfs the other one freaks out, and one tries to cover it and ends up dragging clothes/books/shoes into it.

I have four dogs and nothing gets me from corpse-like slumber to Defcon 1 wide awake faster then the sound of one of them horking up something at the foot of the bed. They should make an alarm clock with that sound.

My dog threw up on my bed. And the floor. Four times. I then got to take her to the vets where she had to get immediate surgery to remove her uterus, and ended up staying at the vets for the night. Worst morning in the world :(

I've been told that I will sit up in bed at that sound, pick up the offending feline off the bed, and gently deposit them on the floor. Off the rug. I have no recollection of these acts and immediately go back to snoring.

The cat fighting another animal, possibly another cat.
A peaceful sleep broken by what your brain automatically assumes must be a banshee being murdered by a velociraptor. Then you realize it's your cat in a knock-down-drag-out cat fight, and you are now legitimately worried for it's safety.
That or artillery. Nothing like illumination rounds being fired in the dead of night. The artillery doesn't have to be anywhere near you to rattle your windows hard enough to make you think it was just outside. Or the anti-mortar HIMARS going off. Shits fucking loud.

Totally unrelated but I have funny cat puking story.
I don't own or particularly like cats, but when my neighbors had a death in the family and asked me to watch their cat for two days I agreed.
I showed up on day one to find a note, 3 pages long about the dietary restrictions of the two cats and how important it was that I feed them the right amount blah blah blah.
As I opened the door I took a step inside and there it was, my first ever cat puke (cold) between my toes all squishy and shit.
I emptied their two litre boxes (I had to empty them daily) I never knew two cats could shit so much, and cleaned up the one puddle of vomit.
On day two there was 3 puddles of vomit. Then the call came and the neighbors weren't going to make it home for 6 more days.
The vomit got so bad, no less than 10 puddles a day, plus so much shit I almost couldn't handle it.
On the last day, when they arrived home I was on my hands and knees scrubbing their fucking carpet when they walked in...
He came first and went upstairs right away, said hello but that was it. Then the wife walked in and said "oh! Smells kinda catty, let me know when you're done and I'll spray something" then she proceeded upstairs. I walked out. Didn't speak with them since then, and have since moved away.

Woke up to the horking sound of my dad's new puppy on my bed once. I went from dead asleep to awake, standing, lights on and hauling the dog off the bed so fast I was dizzy. Matter of seconds. Was totally unpleasant, but the dog ended up not puking so that was nice.

To be fair, Europe has a lot less of a gun problem, but of course people turned to other weapons that are also easier to get hands on. It has lessened the issues, though, as stabbing someone is quite different from shooting them.

I use to party with friends that went to VCU years ago and lived near campus. There where a few times we would hear gun fire while smoking cigarettes late at night and quit our conversations immediately while heading inside without saying much to each other. Although while we could hear the initial gun fire we would freeze like deer in head lights. Sometimes you would only hear one gun shoot which probably meant the bullet found its intended target. I'm glad I don't live in that reality and only experienced it briefly. I feel for anyone trapped in that environment. My friend was a block down from a shooting (in Richmond VA) and saw the muzzle flash, him and a couple other people went in the prone position one of them dove in their own pee. He doesn't like to talk about that experience.

I wake up to the sound of a family member crying on a regular basis, but that's just how my toddler wakes up. Half the time it's "Hi Mama! Me out? High chair?" and half the time it's a wail that basically translates to "scary dream" or "hungry" or "light in my eyes" or something like that.

Happened to me all the time when I lived at home. My mum suffers from night terrors, so 3am every morning basically on the dot she starts screaming in terror. Was pretty terrifying the first few times but then got annoying. Big problem is I also have this sometimes so my SO has to deal with me waking up shouting like crazy. The other problem here is that I'm a big guy, she's a small woman, and when this happens I don't know what's what so she has to leap out of bed and turn the light on to stop me freaking out.
SimonCallahan ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 16:56:34 on October 7, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I used to have night terrors as a kid. I grew out of them, but I got teased by my family about them. One year for Christmas I got one of those "No Fear" shirts that were all the rage, and the back said "Fear The Thief Of Dreams". It took me a couple of years to figure out that they were making fun of my night terrors with a T-shirt.

I wonder if she could avoid the worst of it by getting up at 2 or so, staying up for a bit, then going back to sleep. It would be difficult for the first few days, but surely better than constant night terrors,

It's okay, she's lucky enough not to remember them. I on the other hand, wake up like fucking Wolverine (minus the claws) screaming the house down. Although it is amusing how it progresses. Starts of quiet and gets louder in steps until the grand finale apparently.

That happened to me one time. There was a heavy snow and our horse's barn fell down, she was convinced they were crushed. So my sister, mom, and I all trek out at like 4 in the morning in PJ's and muck boots into the dark snow.
Turns out, the barn had fallen on the electric fence and the horses escaped into the neighbor's yard. Assholes. I lifted a piece of barn with my mom while my sister, the beast she is, pulled the electric fence wire out so that we could right our perimeter. My mom was like, "Well, at least the electricity isn't on..." and my sister cringed and said it was. She was pretty hardcore at 15. Then it turned out we locked ourselves out. My dad was almost home from the night shift, though, so we only had to stand out in the snow waiting after all was said and done for like, 20 minutes. What a fucking morning.

I was upstairs one time and I heard my mum screaming repeatedly, so I grabbed my cricket bat and sprinted downstairs, ready to deal with whatever was down there. I get there and turns out she was screaming because a cockroach was there and had touched her. I had been so scared, but I get it - Cockroaches suck.

The one time I woke up to this, it involved a very pissed off possum that got into our kitchen while she was having her morning toke and a cup of coffee.
I shared a door with the kitchen she was in, but the fridge was blocking it. The possum got behind the fridge and started scratching that door while my mother was high as a kite and screaming her head off.
This was a very disconcerting thing to wake up to as a child.

When I was 17 I had the chance to leave work early to go home and sleep when I was really hungover. Fast forward a few hours and I wake up to my mom holding my backpack with a half ounce of weed in it. Coincidentally I was holding it for a friend but I was smoking it too. Waking up to an extremely disappointed mom with your were stash was a pretty shitty way to wake up.

Same thing happened to me one time. I run into the living room, and before I even see her I splash my foot into about an inch of water.
Our entire living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, and half bathroom was completely under water (all contiguous hardwood/stained concrete). Starting at three in the morning, it took four hours to vacuum up almost all of the water with a shop vac and pouring it out the front door every 5-10 mins. After about a week, Servpro came by and determined that a three-inch gap of crawlspace directly below the living room was completely filled with water as well, and subsequently had to rip up the warped wood after drying it all so much. Carpet got wet too, so all the bedrooms needed to be ripped out and replaced. Pretty much the entirety of this last summer was spent moving stuff in, out, and around the house as well as sleeping on mattresses on the floor in either my room, the study, the living room (with freshly replaced wood), or an office upstairs.
Insurance saved our asses financially, and we treated ourselves with a nice vacation to Colorado during the last couple of weeks of summer break after we replaced the carpet, furniture, and moved some thing around (as well as moving me out to college). But Jesus Christ, I will never forget that blood curdling scream and how that was the harsh and unexpected beginning to a hellish summer just a week before my graduation.
Oh, yeah, the flooding was caused by copper plumbing behind the toilet in the half bathroom. It corroded to the point where it simply popped open and gushed out (what I would estimate) a few hundred gallons of water before my mom heard the cascading water and shut it off. Come to think of it, I think her perspective of the story was much more insane and harrowing than mine, but just being there and living through a month and a half of whirring dehumidifiers and not having a living room floor for awhile is as harrowing for me as it will probably get.

This happened to my uncle. An underage drunk driver came careening around the bend and straight into his antique Delaware home. Fortunately, he and his wife were both upstairs. After this incident, he had two very large boulders placed strategically in front of the house where the truck went through and where there had been several other close calls. Another driver went round the bend and crashed into the boulders. Tried to complain to the city about them being dangerous. Was laughed out of court. I have to say though, I stayed in that house when we visited once. I sat straight up in bed every time I heard tires screeching, which was often since they live right in town.

I had a car crash into a car that I had parked in front of my house. If I hadn't put it there, they would have crashed into my living room.
Of course, I was asleep at the time, so when the police rang the doorbell and asked if that was my car that was smashed, I was thinking, "ummm, wha... huh? my car? My Car? MY CAR???!?"
(since this didn't sound like breaking and entering, I didn't really wake up).

I had this. Someone rushing his wife in labour to hospital at 3am tried to overtake another car on a blind hill crashed straight into a lorry coming the other direction right in front of my house. I woke to the crash but didn't really realise I'd even heard it - I was confused about the orange flashing lights outside. Then looked out and realised something bad had happened. It took them 2 hours to cut the poor lady in labour out of the car. Everyone (including the baby) was fine though - just some cuts and bruises. The road was still closed at 9am when I headed to work.

Because you've never seen someone's car get stolen. If it's parked in your driveway and the alarm goes off at 2am, you look out the window. If it's being stolen, you call the cops; If it's going off because a cat jumped on it, you just press the button and turn it off.

FCC says so.
Also it's one (long) test per month, alternating between morning and night, plus one short test per week which the broadcaster does on their own schedule.
But to be serious, the tests are more for the broadcasters than the viewers. It's well known that the EAS system has issues and I would expect the FCC to overhaul it in the next couple of years.

If the thing ever says something along the lines of "the following message is broadcast on behalf of the..." listen up immediately, but at the same time if it ever has to do that pretty much every non-custom ROM smartphone made in the US after a certain date will ring an alarm and broadcast an audible message. The latter is scary as fuck due to the loudness, scary ass synthesised voice which is combined by the time lag of different carriers.

This actually recently happened in my region (southern New England) on the radio. The broadcast sound came on and then proceeded to announce a tsunami warning. Tsunamis are practically non-existent here.
It was a minor news cycle phenomenon. Apparently it was a test, except that they only ever said it was a test once at the very beginning, before spending about two minutes giving a very detailed warning.

Oh god.
I went through a fun government conspiracy stage when I was like, 14 or so, and I remember hearing what an emergency broadcast sounds like fore a nuke attack.
I was home alone with my brother, a few years later (last year), and we had the tv on while we were sword fighting. The channel went quiet and then all of a sudden, all you here is a faint static and "EYHRRRRR EYHRRRRR THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROUDCAST" I instantly started sweating and my heart went full hummingbird! It was one of those fucking tests, but my god, I was just panicking, thinking what to do!
Do I call mom? Will she know what to do? The cops? My neighbors? Can we survive a nuke under our house? Let's not try... it was terrifying...

If anyone is still using this fucking abysmal alarm tone, change it to Flying in the sky or Journey immediately. I had Morning Flower alarm for about two weeks before wanting to rip my dick off every morning out of pure rage. Alternate between Flying in the sky and Journey and you'll be sweet. If you want an alarm tone to set 5-10 minutes before your actual waking time alarm to ease into it (highly recommend this), get some Rustling in the trees going.

I've actually been temporarily blind for a while. Pretty damn freaky.
I smacked the back of my head against the driveway hard as a kid and instantly went blind. What I saw was exactly what you see in pitch blackness; little pinpricks of randomly colored light shifting around on a black, depthless field.
Seeing that as I gingerly stood up from the asphalt with my eyes open on a sunny, clear day was a little freaky, but it didn't really hit me until my mom called me and I tried walking to her by hearing. I walked straight into a tree.
She thought I was kidding, and between hearing the fear in her voice and the physical impact of the tree bark gently punching me in the nose, the gravity of the situation hit me, hard and I was suddenly just trying to hold it together while I got bundled into the van and driven the the ER.
My sight returned right as we parked, when the sliding door opened. I still remember that moment, the sound of the door opening, looking down out of the seat behind the driver at the parking lot pavement.
TL;DR: I did for a bit, and yeah, it was very scary. only lasted for about 15 minutes or so, but... man. That was terrifying.

A bigger fear for me is just suddenly getting amnesia of x amount of years x years from now so I only have my memories up to right now. Suddenly people I know are dead or completely different. People I know are now married and others have divorced. Strangers are my new best friends and old best friends are bitter enemies. I could be married and have children or even possibly grandchildren and they'd be complete strangers.

That happened to me once. A kid I used to be friends with convinced me and another kid to take a bunch of robitussin one night when we were in high school. It's a long story but I woke up and couldn't see. It wasn't just blackness, it was like my brain couldn't make sense of what my eyes were seeing. I remember staring at the clock and knowing that I was staring at the clock but I couldn't read it. I also couldn't stand up so I had to throw myself off of the bed and crawl my way over to where my other friend was sleeping to try to wake him up. It took me like 20 minutes of shaking him and yelling to wake him up, I was convinced he was dead and that I was going to be permanently blind.
That was probably the worst morning of my life.

True. I read an excellent book about the big cats of Australia once. IIRC, there have been 63 confirmed instances of large predatory cats being released into the wild in Australia, mostly exotic pets and zoo/circus escapes.
Still, I will take a lone puma over thousands of bears any day.

When you spend a lot of time in austere backcountry, you really start to get a feel for what's right and what's wrong. I feel perfectly at home in places that have other people thinking of slasher movies, but sometimes you'll feel something is off, and you just can't relax. That's when you really realize why people stuck together in clusters to begin with.

This happens to me about once a year. I was born with a cleft palate and have had ear problems my whole life. I have scars on my ear drums from all the tubes I've had put in to help with drainage. I'll wake up sometimes unable to hear out of one ear or the other. A few times it has been both ears and I'm effectively deaf for several days. The worst is when it has the whoosing or ringing sounds.

I'm not super familiar with how to link things. Fell ass backwards into getting it right once, but I remember it was the cover story of a magazine once. Didn't remember what the magazine was, so I did a quick google. Before commenting. Googling sudden deafness or sshl yields a large number of results, plenty of which are reliable.
Edit: Figured out who the article was about- rapper Foxy Brown. There's a People magazine article and a Billboard article. Not exactly class a journalism, but that was what I remember reading.

This happens to me sometimes; because i just dont clean my ears sometimes and laying down on my bed sideways, the pillow presses on my ear and pushes all the earwax down my ear and i just lose my hearing in that ear. I know its gross, but no matter how clean i get my ears, its back to that state way faster than i thought itd get. Trying to dig it out of your ear risks making it worse, so its a gamble to do anything about it. I couldnt hear for a week because of this. yay.
So i'll just wake up, and not be able to hear a damn thing. my only thought is "oh fucking hell, not again."

You would not believe how much of that stuff is automated these days, but they're all trained for it in the event the machine misses something.
It's the knowledge they carry that necessitates them, for the most part. Lots of them work quite hard, even if you see them reading something. There are always bad apples, but in a career path like that it's pretty easy to lay the blame on an anesthesia failure based on evidence and records and you don't want to be an anesthetist who has spontaneous 'recoveries' on their record.

Reminds me of a conspiracy I heard: what if anesthetic doesn't put you to sleep, it just completely paralyzes you and prevents your brain from registering events in your long term memory? Imagine being completely concious during a surgery but unable to do or say anything...

I once was awoken at 3am by my drunk stepsister turning on my bedroom light and stumbling in. Apparently she thought it was the washroom, despite my objections. She proceeded to knock my winter hat off the wall, sit on it, pee in it and leave. I just kinda laid there wondering WTF to do.
The amazing part was when the ever-curious cat who was also sleeping in the room walked over, sniffed the hat that was currently a toilet, and just turned to me and gave a perfect "the fuck?" meow/look. Couldn't have been executed better if it had been a movie.

Alcohol isn't a hallucinogenic. If someone is so drunk they'd peeing in a closet it's not because they think they're in a bathroom, it's because they don't care of they think it's funny.

Did you hallucinate that you were literally in a bathroom? Because that's not how alcohol works.

It seems like it happens around the passing out part of the night usually. My guess is it's like drunken sleepwalking.

My husband woke up in the middle of the night after a night of drinking and did this. Luckily we have separate closets and he peed in his own closet, but still, I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. He finished up after insisting he was peeing in the toilet and goes back to bed like nothing.

An ex boyfriend of mine did this twice in one night. Once he peed against the wall at the end of the bed, a few hours later peed in the closet. Both times I asked "what the fuck?!" and was met with groans and reassurance that it was absolutely the toilet and what was my problem.
I always felt better about it when I remembered my friend waking up because her SO drunkenly vomited all over their bed, then proceeded to vomit in the closet as if it was the toilet.

My older brother and I lived together for a couple of years when we were both in paramedic school. I was ~23, he was about 26. One night, not long after I fell asleep, I woke up to the sound of him stumbling into my room. I figured he wanted to borrow something or whatever, so I ignored him and tried to go back to sleep. Until I heard the sound of a belt buckle and zipper. I open my eyes to see him preparing to piss on my TV. I yelled his name and he turned around, confused, trying to figure out when the shower learned how to talk, and eventually managed to reply "wha?" I had to explain to him that he was in my room, not the bathroom. He stumbled out and had no memory of it in the morning.

And then you rush into work, disoriented as fuck, feeling like complete and utter shit. No thank you! This is why I triple-check my schedule, even going so far as to put a ruler beneath my name (or my finger, usually) to find the exact times that I work each day that week. I write it down twice and then done, like someone with a mad OCD-ritual or something.
I cannot and will not take the risk, even if I am registered as a part-timer. I am simply not a fan of that type of backlash. On the other hand, I've been late to work due to forgetting to set my alarm clock and also turning my alarm clock off, deliberately saying "fuck it" and going back to sleep.

I finished my associate's while working for our company in the actual stores. I decided the Bachelor's wasn't worth going in debt for so I waited for an opportunity here at our corporate office to open up and went for it. I didn't get it a couple of times but I was persistent. I spent about a year in our help desk (place the stores would call when shit wasn't working) and used that experience to get into my current position.
Honestly I am working for a great company (top 50 best places to work in the US every single year and completely privately owned). Once I made it into the help desk I was set because we basically can set ourselves up to work in whatever department we want. If I wanted to switch to marketing or accounting or something tomorrow I could just tell my boss and they would send me over there on-loan to train/learn it.
If you really want to develop software just start doing it. All you need is a computer with an internet connection. A degree will get you into interviews easier, but a portfolio of programs you've built and things you've taught yourself will land you the job.
edit: One more note. You won't always land a developing job with no experience or degree, but you can look for Q/A positions or internships that have no problem hiring a new guy if you're willing to put the time in. I was a developer intern for about 8 months.

Especially if you're in a large apartment building, and 99.99% of the time it's just somebody burning their toast, but you still have to wait through 10 minutes of ear-bursting alarm sounds before you can go back to sleep. To make it worse, you're standing around wondering if maybe this is that 0.01% case, and maybe you should put on pants and a jacket.

Once during my university days, I came back from an evening football (that's soccer, y'all) game very late at night (like 3am or so) having missed my train and having waited forever for the next one.
As I came back into the flat, I saw a bit of smoke in the kitchen (behind a fire door). I got in there, letting as little smoke into the hallway as possible, turned off the pan of beans some fucker had drunkenly put on the stove and then passed out in bed, drowned them in water, turned on the extractor fans and went to bed. It was winter and it was snowing outside.
There were about 100 people in that building who never knew I saved their arses from freezing that night by probably 60 seconds.

Man... this I understand at least 75% of the time I'm the one that does the check and alarm reset because no one else knows how. And I can't just reset the alarm because the smoke is still in the air so I gotta turn it off and reset it a few hours later. I never even find out who burns their shit because they air it out through a window rather than show themselves and have me warn them. I'm just a resident too, not property management or anything.

In college some dumb shit threw a blunt into the fourth floor trashcan and it set off the the sprinkler system.
The fire alarm came on at 2am, and let me tell you that having a screaming alarm and a flashing light is disorienting as hell in a pitch black room.
Me and my roommate couldn't find the lightswitch because the strobe light made it impossible to get our bearings (like 1 blink every 10 seconds).
Had to spend the night outside because the college wouldn't let us into a lecture hall (fuckers).
The next time, some idiot put something in the oven with the syran wrap still on it, and it set off the alarm.
My roommate was trying to get me up and I just said "No, let me burn" and went back to sleep.
Got woken up by the RA, and got bitched at for putting on clothes.

Especially when you have an 8am class and it's the first time all semester that you were able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour because you finished your other class work and by some miracle didn't have to work that night. On top of that, you can't just stay inside and try and sleep through it because if you don't exit the building you can get a monetary fine by your university.

When you live on the 12th floor of a dorm, it's 3am, freezing, and you're beginning to develop that hangover you knew was coming anyway. Now you get to walk down 12 flights of stairs and wait in the freezing cold for an hour, then walk 12 flights back up because it takes 30 minutes to wait for the elevator and you just want to get to sleep.
The plus side was always the girls who didn't bring a jacket or throw on a bra. Nice.

This.
I lived in school housing when I went to school. The sound the alarm makes is very short, and only plays every five seconds. When the first sound plays, you just wake up and spend five seconds, heartbeat at 200, wondering what the fuck you just heard. Then it plays again and you gtfo.
It's always someone burning their frozen pizza.

I swear to god, if I had ever figured out what dumbfuck in my dorm thought it would be a good idea to smoke under the dorm entrance right next to the smoke detector at four am because it was fucking snowing, I would have killed them.
I still might.

You know what's more ominous...
IDK about other countries but modern smartphones regardless of OS, sold in the US through carriers will broadcast an alarm and synthesised voice message at the government's discretion and this feature cannot be turned off unless you flash a non-OEM ROM.
I find it far more scary than the EAS, imagine if you're going about your day and all of your friend/co-worker's phones go off with such a message but with slight time lag due to different carriers and the same thing happens to everyone else near you with a smartphone, imagine if you were on a crowded street, everyone would stop and listen to see what was going on.

I've had my phone go off for an Amber Alert at like 3:00am once, fucking terrifying. Didn't even know it could do that, so I was suddenly awoken to an alarm tone I didn't even know my phone could make and not a normal "wake up" sound but a "serious shit" sound.
mithikx ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 09:32:21 on October 8, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Exactly that shit, AMBER Alerts share the same broadcast system for EAS, radio and phones but the "presidential" warnings can't be muted unlike the AMBER Alerts. If that shit goes off during the day it's scary cause everyone has a smartphone nowadays. Where I live we also have WWII air raid sirens as well as the TV/radio EAS system, if any of the 2 go off I'm booking it, if I hear all 3 I'll take 5 seconds to wonder if I should seek shelter or a church.

Yeah I muted the Amber Alerts because wtf it's for like 200 miles away from me and I'm asleep, not worth getting woken up for, even though I appreciate the effort to get the word out. Good to know I didn't mute the "you might want to get a move on not dying" alert.

As /u/Yrrem said, it's to ensure the message is clear and understandable. It prevents panic driven inflection which could make a situation worse. Furthermore, it makes the voice stand out. Nearly all Americans know how the EAS sounds.

Monotone voices make it extremely difficult to absorb critical details. Seriously, the bits about what to take and what to listen to? I completely glossed over them - like, I got that they were there, but completely missed the details in as inflection is an important aspect of speech over here.
This is a large part of why we struggle so much (and make fun of) certain accents - they're just completely unbearable to pay attention to.

Most situations will need a specific message, so cannot be pre-recorded except for maybe a generic description of the problem.
The emergency alert "voice" is well known and grabs your attention. It cannot be confused for the television on in the background. That voice means shit is going down.

I've been in apartment for two years and I still feel the panic sometimes. Our garbage gets picked up on the street once a week just like when we lived in a house, and sometimes I hear the truck coming down the street and sit up in horror until I realize that I'm not responsible for setting out the garbage.

A garbage truck once played a part in the soundtrack of a nuclear war dream I was having. I woke up just as the roar and blast wave hit me in the dream only for the revved engine of the garbage truck outside my window to take over the dream soundtrack of the roar. It took several seconds to realize what the sound was. I was utterly baffled and freaked out by what was happening for a few minutes, even after the truck drove off.

I remember one place I lived the garbage truck would pick up the entire dumpster and flip in over the cab to dump it. They would then proceed to slam the empty dumpster up and down against the metal dump bed to dislodge anything stuck. Worst wake up ever and of course it's at 5:30 AM.

Incoming.
The gentle, melodious sound of a C-Ram knocking rockets out of the air, as other rockets and mortars impact your accomodation areas.
Fuck your alarm clocks and cat spewing noises, the sound of shit exploding all around you is by far the worst, shit, you can just kick cat sick off the bed and pick it up later.
EDIT. Gold. I'm grateful. I'm going to assume that it was gifted me by a fellow vet, who knows the awful sound of incoming exploding all over the place. Either that or some one likes the idea of kicking cat sick off the bed and picking it up later.
Thanks for all the replies, fellow vets, I genuinely hope everything is good with you guys.

Everyone has a different experience, i'm sure no one who lived through both would still choose the 1st world problem as an answer. It's the questions fault though, asking for absolutes from a subjective experience. And if such a sound exists, where we will all agree regardless of our lives, no one has yet heard it.

Outgoing's pretty nasty too, even if the incoming is light. You can't really sleep through HIMARS going off, or counter-battery fire.
For those wanting to know what these all sound like:
ALL are loud. You have been warned. Also, the mortar alarm in the first one brings back memories.
C-RAM
Another C-RAM
C-RAM from afar during testing
HIMARS
HIMARS in high-def
HIMARS impacting a target
Artillery Fire

Biggest scare I've had in a fair while was a recording my brother made on his phone of the C-ram going off, it makes a sort of " meh meh meh incoming incoming incoming " sound, that scares the shit out of you.

Check out the app "Sleep Cycle." I've been using it for about a year and it's a life changer. It measures your movement as you sleep and wakes you up at the right point in your sleep cycle so you feel refreshed.
It's like forgetting you were asleep. You just open your eyes and you're there. It's a miracle. No more snooze button.

I don't know, I've been using the same app for a little over a year. Helped a little, but I wouldn't proclaim it the miracle that you're saying it is. I still hit snooze on the thing a few times every day and have trouble waking up.

Huh, well, doesn't work for everyone perfectly I suppose.
Are you getting more than six hours of sleep? Any possibility you have sleep apnea? Check out the little sleep quality graph when you wake up. If it shows a lot of spikes you could just be getting really disturbed sleep.

It works really well for me too.

Oh man, sleep cycle is the bomb! You can put in variables before you go to sleep at night, and the stats will tell you if any of them are affecting your sleep time or quality. I apparently sleep better after a work day, when the weather is cloudy, and when I've been anxious(?)

accelerometer in your phone. You lay in on your bed near your pillow, and run a test the first time you use it. It can detect veeerrry slight movement. It knows your asleep, I assume, based on data from other's movement habits, and eventually your movement habits.

You're putting it face down on the bed, near your pillow?
There's a spot in the settings of the app to test it. You place it where it tells you to, then lay down and move veeerrry slowly and it makes a sound when it detects movement.
I have a memory foam mattress and it seems to work fine for me... maybe I'm just a trasher in bed and you sleep like a log?

Ugh no that app is bullshit. I mean, it works the way it says, but it DOES NOT have the desired effect on me. I would gain a little consciousness and have enough wits about me to know I had to keep still or the alarm would go off, and the gradually increasing cheerful good morning sounds are infuriating to me. So I would lay in bed for 10-15 minutes getting a crick in my neck because I couldn't move. I used it for a semester before deciding the anger wasn't worth it. I just switch up my alarm tones on my phone periodically now. I'm not a morning person.

My cat has seizures a lot of the time. Its usually pretty dramatic, lotta yowling and flopping and urinating going on. I get woken up to that noise in the middle of the night sometimes and its always scary.
She is medicated and its mostly under control but some slip through. The worst was like 6 months ago my new vet didn't trust me or didn't like me or what but she wouldn't refill the prescription and my cat went into a never ending seizure that resulted in a sleepless 48 hour emergency vet > regular vet > emergency vet> etc. as one opened and the other closed. It sucked a lot especially since my car died right after getting to the emergency vet the first time so my roommate had to shuttle me around and not sleep either.

On a Navy ship: Silence. There are always noises when everything is working correctly, always. Once something catostrophic goes wrong i.e. the diesel generators fail, there is a fire in engineering, or the electrical system goes haywire, the ship literally dies. The engines die and that constant push goes with it. The emerg lights pop on. You come to from your slumber to weird lights and total silence and instantly know something is wrong. Then everyone starts shouting. Happened to me twice on FFGs. The first was for a fire on our 1 of 2 remaining generators and the second had something to do with user error in the electrical system. Absolutely terrifying experiences.

Worst sound that ever woke me was my mom saying we needed to follow the ambulance. My dad had a heart attack in the middle of the night while we were on a road trip. I spent the rest of the night in my pj's in a small town hospital, not having a single fucking clue what was going on. Thankfully it was minor and they allowed us to go home so dad could see a local cardiologist. This was 22 years ago and he's still kicking ass.

Fuck those fucking things. We had three of those in res (dorms) last year. Once was at midnight, (we were all up anyway) there was a broken wire or something stupid. Second time was at 3:30am and some dickhead pulled the alarm. Third time was at 7am and I just rolled over and went back to sleep. That one turned out to be real, there was a small fire in the auto body shop that was put out before the fire trucks got there.

Lived in an apartment across from a group home for physically and mentally disabled people for close to two years. Every week day at 7:30 am, a van would come to take various residents out for a few hours (therapy, group outings, etc.).... except instead of making a phone call or simply making a better effort to show up on time, the driver would lay on the horn rapidly for about 20 seconds to let the group home staff know that they were out front. And then, about a 30 seconds later, one of the wheelchair bound residents would proceed to wail an outrageously shrill wail for about 15-20 seconds before trailing off into a cackle.
The wailing I could get past - I understood. But that lazy asshole behind the wheel, honking at 7:30 am. That was the worst.

I never wake up or move so quickly as when my daughter wakes up from a nightmare. She's four, and she screams like she's being murdered. And even though I know that's it's probably just a dream, my body gets me the fuck out of bed and to her in amazing speed.
My son just sort of rolls into a slow wine when he's had a nightmare, so I'm able to make the decision of whether he needs intervention or just to deal with it. No dice with my daughter.

Somebody stirring their coffee. But instead of stirring like a normal person, they let the spoon clash against the inside walls of the mug creating an infuriatingly rhythmic "ting ting ting ting" noise. I can sleep through some pretty loud stuff, but for some reason coffee stirring is the most jarring thing I've woken up to.

My cat destroying the carpet by my bedroom door. Every morning like clockwork, at 4:30 he scratches at my door. So I let him in, then 30 mins later he's at it again. If I leave the door open he starts destroying things and begging for attention. It's not nice waking up and knowing you're probably going to lose your damage deposit by the sounds of scratching and tearing coming from your door. I haven't had a solid nights sleep for weeks! It makes me so damn mad every time he does this.

The "Good Morning, Vietnam" soundtrack... loud.
When I was a teenager, my Mom and brother went to visit my grandparents for two weeks but I stayed behind with Dad as I was rocking the 24 dollar a week paper route back then.
On the surface, this was awesome, Dad pretty well let me watch or do what I wanted until all hours (him being asleep on the couch helped this).
But every god-damned morning, at 6:30 or some shit, he'd BLAST Robin Williams' opening.
I forever love the comedian, but that movie was ruined for me forever... to this day even hearing snippets invokes the rage centre of my brain!

Just a short while ago I had left my bedroom window open because it was so hot. This was probably the first time in years I've left my window open over night. My apartment window faces towards the road/intersection.
A drunk driver ended up swerving and hitting a parked car at about 3am. The screeching and smash sound were so terrifying to wake up to. It felt like he had crashed into my bedroom.
Probably not the absolute worst thing to wake up to but still scared the poop out of me

I was in the dorms when my university was plagued by serial bomb threats. That triggered the awful, earsplitting emergency alarms, with a computerized voice intoning "PLEASE EXIT THE BUILDING" every five seconds. It was fun to leave class maybe the first two times. The next twenty, not so much. Police had to search the buildings from top to bottom for every threat.
Then the threats started coming in at all hours, the worst being the 3 and 4 am evacuations. This was during freezing cold weather. They eventually started keeping cots in campus auditoriums and lobbies for the inevitable waves of shivering, bleary eyed students trying to find someplace to lay down. Most kids I knew started packing a "go bag" every night with extra blankets, snacks, and phone chargers.
I'm not sure they ever caught the guy calling in the threats, but I vividly remember being ripped awake by that goddamn alarm reverberating off the dorm's cinderblock walls.

Last year I was woken up at about 3:30 AM to a huge explosion directly outside my window. This was the loudest sound I have ever heard to date. I freaked out, I actually thought we were being bombed. I jumped up out of bed, screamed a little, almost wee'd myself, and my heart was jumping out of my chest. I live about 200 yards from a power plant, so I assume something exploded, but to this day I still don't know exactly what it was.

It sounded so real. But, getting out of bed means it'll just take that much longer to get back to sleep. Did that chime go off? Is someone in the house? Won't know until morning.

The sound of construction equipment approaching your tent. This of course was accompanied by the earth shaking. I was in girl guides and we were camping out behind our headquarters, they were doing construction on the creek beside our building. Woke up to construction vehicles (dump trucks, back hoes) literally feet from our tents. I was to scared to move and thought 'this is how I die'

My parents have this thing equivalent to a magic bullet blender. One works nights the other works days and they get home. Dad needs some sort of healthy smoothie before he goes to work now and at 4:30 he is making it. I try to close my door before I got to sleep but my dog regularly opens it at night. I hate waking up to the BIGGEST crankling of a blender.

I came here to share my experience of waking up to my cat regurgitating a half digested mouse onto the same pillow that I was sleeping on at the time. I rolled my face right onto it. Warm, slimy, stinking carcass. I just about threw up myself once I turned on the bedside lamp and saw what I'd been rudely awakened by.
So, sound: cat ralphing inches away from your head. As if that wasn't bad enough, topped off by dipping your face into the mess in the dark and then sick feeling that comes when the light displays how bad it really is.
I sincerely hope that none of you have to experience that first hand.

I lived with 2 room mates, they were dating at the time but got married and moved out last year. They literally, not figuratively, could not have a conversation without it turning into a screaming match. I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not. I think their personal insecurities just sort of glued them to eachother, for better or worse. In 3 years I never saw them speak to one another without screaming, not one single time. 0% exaggeration. It was always one of the same three basic fights too, in particular, the male was perfectly content to roll into work at exactly the time his shift started, the female had to be at her work half an hour early for some unknown reason. Short version, starting 4 years ago and ending one year ago I woke up to my room mates having a knock-down-drag-out screaming-and-throwing-stuff match at 6:30 AM(and for much of that time, I worked nights or had to meet some pretty intense deadlines.), literally every. single. day. for just under 3 years. They both owned several guns too, I honestly had plans for the day I heard them start shooting. Like, timed myself going out my window and around the house just in case. The things I heard, I was genuinely scared that something really dangerous was about to go down. I mean, statistically, that was a bad fuckin' place to be. In spite of that, nothing happened while I was there except two people in a disastrously combative relationship got married while I learned that the worst thing to wake up to is your room mates waking up the block.

Let me tell you, waking up disoriented on an airplane to someone screaming immediately sends you into panic and this-is-where-i-die mode.

For me it's something specific. One of my reptile terrariums has a timer for the light. Almost every morning the timer gets stuck just before the light should turn on, and it makes this grinding sound. It means I have to get out of bed shortly before my alarm goes off so I can reach down into a hard-to-reach area and turn the timer dial manually. Always the most frustrating thing to do first thing in the morning.

I thought I would be cute and set my ringtone to a screaming woman. It was super super funny the first few days, until someone called me (a single woman living alone) at 3AM and I was woken up to AHHHH!! AHHHHHHH!!! OH GOD!!!!!! I was sure I was being murdered and it was my own screams or something. Nope, just me being so so clever.
i threw myself out of bed, changed my ringtone immediately, and slept on the couch.

Exactly one week before our wedding date, I woke up to the sound of my fiancee choking for air. Her entire body was tensed up, her eyes were wide with confusion and fear, and I honestly thought she was dying in front of me.
She was having a seizure, which is something she had never had a history of before that day. I called 911, and as I was on the phone, the seizure started to let up and she started breathing again. They sent an ambulance to get her.
When she reached a point where she could speak again, she couldn't make sense of anything that was happening. She had no idea who I was, why there were paramedics around her, or even what her name was. Her response to every question was a blank stare for 5-10 seconds, followed by a "....what?"
As I followed the ambulance to the hospital, I wondered if she would ever recover her memories, or if they were lost forever. Was our entire relationship gone in her brain? Would she ever remember me?
It was the scariest day of my life. I can still hear that sound in my head, and the possibility of waking up in that situation again absolutely terrifies me.
She's fine now, by the way. The doctors believe she has epilepsy, but they have never been able to confirm with with any of the tests they do. She takes anti-seizure medicine every day just in case. She has not experienced any other seizures like the one that morning. And our wedding went off as planned a week later. :)

A cat jumping into a swamp cooler (evap cooler). This has happened twice in my life once when i was like 5 and once when I was 25. Both times it was off, but didn't have a cover on it.
When you are deep in sleep and wake up to the noise of a cat screaming while trying to get out of a metal box with water in it and you realize that it's the swamp cooler, your first semi conscious thought is that it's probably on and the cat is being shredded.
The last time it happened I let out a very instinctual scream as I ran into the living room. My adrenaline was pumping so hard and I was so frightened for the cat.

Sometimes, very rarely, when our dog is super tired from a big run or playing, he will let out a long, low howl in the middle of the night while he is sleeping. He is a 130lb Rottweiler, and his howl is loud and deep.
Every time it happens me and my wife both wake up instantly and sit straight up. I cant describe it, but its this weird primal anxiety that clicks off in the back of your head.
Somewhere deep down in our ancestors genes, there must be this memory of when canines were not always our best friends and companions. Honestly, for an instant, that howl makes me feel small, naked and alone against a vast, cold, ruthless night. A sound that shakes you to the core. A sound that reminds you that nature is both unforgiving and unpredictable while I am but flesh and bone.
That's when I lean over and give him a pat on his big head, with a jaw that can chew through bowling balls and truck tires, I remind myself we are best friends and he is made of snuggles, love and fluffy smugglefaces.

Oh I've got one for once! So have any of you been on the Maid of the Mist tour at Niagra falls? They put you on a boat and send you right up to the falls. Anyone who's been on this can attest how loud this is.
Anyway, 2 winters ago the water pipe right above my dorm room broke. Imagine it's 6am. You're asleep in bed. Suddenly this incredible roaring sound comes from the ceiling. It's pitch black still so you're looking around to see if a bomb went off or if there's a tornado or what the deal is. Suddenly gallons upon gallons of water start pouring from the light fixtures in your room before finally half the ceiling gives way (this was about 15 seconds in, still trying to get my bearings). And THEN the fire alarm starts going off. So you're forced to go outside in single digit weather wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and a blanket (not even shoes, those got soaked) while your room is getting flooded. That is, in my opinion, the worse sound to wake up to.

This actually happened to me. Wake up for school, Freshman in High School, and as I leave my room to walk down the stairs, I hear the phone ringing. It's early and I didn't like phone calls, so I let the machine get it. Just as I get to the bottom of the steps, our "please leave a message" response finishes. Mom's in the shower, and I'm about to get some cereal for breakfast. The beep goes, and I listen for a moment to see if it's something I need to know.
The shrieking cries of my sister on the other line woke me up better than any cup of coffee ever has. "HEEEELP" she screams in between tears. I rush to the phone to pick it up, to find out she's been in a car accident and she is stuck in her car on leaning off a bridge over a highway overpass. She had been driving to morning detention and hit an icy bridge and proceeded to roll her car multiple times against the guard rail on the bridge, nearly rolling right over it.
That was a rough day.

Not to be a major downer here, but your Mom crying. Last year my phone rang at 4:30am and when I picked up, all I could hear was my Mom crying and she could barely talk. She finally managed to get out "your Dad died in his sleep last night". Probably the worst thing I'll ever wake up to.

Carbon monoxide alarm. Happened to me a few weeks back at 2:44am...only know this because I thought it was my actual alarm. Woke the husband and 2 kids up and made them get outside. Batteries were 2 weeks old, so I knew it was real. Called the fire department. They show up while 5 & 8y/o are bundled in blankets on the front porch to inform us it was a false alarm, some form of malfunction in the detector. Bought a new one that day.

My apartment has wood floors that are set terribly. They're laminated planks of some kind, and the binding has worn or something. They floor makes the most awful crackling noises in certain spots. There are spots all over the apartment that may as well have firecrackers going off when stepped on. In the morning, auditory functions are heightened to the point where my girlfriend getting ready for work sounds like gunshots ringing out through the place. I'm a truly light sleeper, so anything slightly above the minimum decibel auditory to humans is the worst sound to wake up to.

When, at the late hour of 7 o'clock rolls around, your neighbors decide it's time to take part in a simultaneous reroofing and logging expedition. Ah, yes, the wonderful sounds of chainsaws, axes, and hammers going strong at the crack of dawn, maybe 30 feet from my window.
Worse, they seem to have no concept of how to actually complete the job, so a midst the bursts of thunderous work, you get to hear no less than three different angry languages arguing over what I can only assume is the best way to keep the whole neighborhood awake.
Why they felt the need to do this for a whole week is beyond me, but at the very least I don't need to worry about it anymore... except for the fact that they've moved over one lot and my favorite alarm clock is off to a wonderful, wonderful start.

A few years ago I woke up to the sound of splashing because my fully furnished basement where my bedroom was had about 2 feet of water on the floor. The sump pump stopped working right after I feel asleep and I woke up with my dog splashing around having a blast.

Jackhammers. Living in the city, if you're woken up by sirens, a garbage truck, or someone being loud on the street, you know it's probably going to go away in a minute or two. Jackhammers can go on for hours.

Modern alarm clocks
Old school alarm clocks had loud, big-ass bells
New clocks have feeble high frequency sound emitters
After many years playing drums in a loud rock band, I can't hear worth a shit
Even if a modern clock was glued to my ear, I couldn't hear it

A smoke alarm chirping because the battery is almost dead.
It always happens in the middle of the night, and then you spend the next half hour wandering the house with your head cocked, listening, trying to figure out which one it is. Having to go get the ladder from the garage and carry it in without hitting walls and doorways while half asleep is the icing on the cake.

Only to claim that it is totally fine if I didn't help her, but that obviously means if I don't help her she will yell at me about how she does everything in the house.

From experience: Heavy breathing and creaking floor when all sleeping parties are accounted for
4am - wife and I were asleep. Don't know exactly how such a subtle sound woke me up, maybe I was a little restless that night. Brain fog meant the implications of the noise didn't settle in for a few seconds. I got out of bed abruptly, heard footsteps retreating down the stairs quickly. Adrenaline spiked so hard I swear it changed my physiology permanently, I dragged my wife out of bed and threw her in the closet with my phone and said "call 911 someone's in the apartment!" I ran to the top of the stairs, and thats when I hear a deep voice call from the bottom of the stairs, "I'll shoot you" -- holyyyyyy fffffuck. Goosebumps. I stopped, obviously, at the top of the stairs. Didn't feel safe in my own home for a couple months, god damn cats running up and down the stairs at night would send me reaching for a new 911 call several times. He had overturned a garbage can to crawl up on top of it, tore through screen to see if window was unlocked (it was) crawled in, stepped on my fucking laptop making his way in, took nothing (Grandview, OH 2010, those apartments right across the street from Kroger)

Reapers.
I play the shit out of Mass Effect 3 when it came out to the point it was pretty much all I thought about. One morning there was a bang and crash so loud it shook the whole house, followed by what I could only describe as a roar. I was still half asleep and in panic mode, ran down stairs and was yelling at my family to get into the bomb shelter (My house was built in the 80's and the previous owner was into the whole Y2K prep thing), and that the Reapers were here. They all just sat and laughed while I was freaking out. Turns out that someone was clearing out the trees by the high voltage lines next to the house with a helicopter and really powerful saw...

Car alarm at 4am. That was not turned off. The owner wasn't near their car. Called cops, they swung by, took down the license plate of the car and drove off. I almost went and grabbed a bat to smash a window so there would be a reason for the fucking alarm. I would have cheered if someone had been stealing that car. I would have thanked them profusely as they drove off, just so that sound would stop.
Also, SWAT team raid on the floor above you at 5am. Because that's when they think the dealers are going to be asleep. My primary thought was "can't you bust them more quietly?" On the plus side, they actually took care of the dog- brought him down to us to hang out in our apartment until one of the people who lived there and was not a dealer got back to take care of him.

While nothing can beat the sound of the traditional 'snooze' alarm, I did have an interesting experience waking up while camping. I was camping near a horse and goat farm with a good portion of the goat population being of the 'screaming' variety. Waking up to a passing herd of blood-curdling screams really puts a spring in your step.

Besides real life emergency sounds, literally anything you pick for your alarm sound will be the worst thing you've ever heard after about a week because it's tied to the constant sleep disturbance. I used to try to pick songs I liked to wake me up, horrible fucking idea. I hate them now. Even cats purring loudly started to piss me off.

This will get buried, but the worst sound that ever woke me up, was thunder. Sounds pathetic, but let me explain...
I was asleep in my top floor flat, the windows on the slanting roof were half open as it was summer in Budapest and was particularly hot. Stroms can roll in pretty quickly sometimes and this was one of those times... Lightening struck the chimney approximately 1 metre from my window, which I was about 1 metre away from me. The resulting thunder was SO loud and had such force I bolted upright, had a surge of adrenaline start my heart pumping like crazy, still totally bemused from being woken up so suddenly and so loudly. I swear nothing has shocked me more in my life than that noise, I'll never forget it. It took a good 5 seconds for me to realise my life as not on danger, took even longer for my heart rate to drop. I still enjoy a good thunder storm but I never want to be quite that close again!

In the end of the video it was a giant taxidermy bear screaming like a mountain lion.

A god damn fucking moose.
I was camping out in Maine with a bunch of freshmen for an orientation weekend. The entire week leading up to these trips, we are leaders have it drilled into our heads that there will be freshmen trying to do dumb shit like bring booze and weed on these trips and that we needed to stay vigilant.
Being freshmen, it was assumed you'd have some kids that lacked experience with drinking and so the last thing we as leaders wanted was to deal with a hammered drunk 18 year old in the middle of the woods hours away from any emergency services. And I certainly didn't want to explain to some parents how their precious little angel suffocated on his own vomit while under my supervision.
But back to the Moose. First night, just past midnight, I'm nudged awake by my co-leader to what sounds like someone choking/vomiting violently and I'm up in immediate action (i.e. panic) mode. Instead of some drunk whippersnapper, I'm met with a full grown female Maine moose that had wandered into our camp sniff us out. The sound was the Moose promptly freaking out when the objects she was sniffing woke up and moved around suddenly.
None of us slept well that night, made the next 20 miles of hiking a real joy the following day.

Hotel fire alarm.
I was at a conference and the fire alarm went off at 4am. Then again at 4:15. And again. And again. Each room had an extremely loud hidden speaker; there was no sleeping through this. Each time after it went off, the desk staff would announce that management and security had investigated and declared it a false alarm. They ended up having to have a technician from their alarm company come in and trace wiring to find what kept triggering it.
Sessions started at 8:00am. The evening open-bar receptions ended at 11:00pm. No rooms were comped by the hotel. The next morning was a lot of fun, and the coffee lines were huge.

Back in high school my alarm was a program on my computer that would play the worst klaxon you can imagine. Sounded like an air raid in my bedroom. After a few weeks, the sound of my hard drive spinning up was enough to wake me and I would have the actual alarm off after the first tone.

Smoke alarms at 4:30am when you're in a hotel, alone, in the middle of a city you've never been to before. Or when you're home alone after a night of really heavy drinking. Or on the first night in your new apartment in a new city right after you finally fall asleep.
I have really bad luck with smoke alarms giving me mild heart attacks at odd hours of the night.

Loud gunfire. Like, in the next room or just outside the house loud gunfire.
I hit the floor, belly-crawled out to the living room ...
and discovered that my then-husband had programmed the VCR to record an action movie but had forgotten to hit mute or set the thing so it would record without turning the TV on. (I don't remember how that worked now).
He didn't even wake up.

Parents and other family members fighting. It's a weekend after a long week, and you hear shouting and swearing then silence, maybe a door slam, and you know the weekend is over.
It will take hours to figure out what happened, and chances are it's so trivial to be not worth finding out. You're the peacemaker in a volatile household so you feel as though your sleeping has betrayed you- if you were awake this might not have happened. Next time, next time, I will be awake before it happens.

In 2014, my grandmother was in seriously failing health. My family is in SC, and I live in CA... so there's no way to get home lickity-split if I needed to. The fastest I can do is 9 hours.
My phone woke me up one morning at 5am. It was my sister. She asked if she'd woken me up, I told her she had but it was okay. She burst into tears, and just said "You need to come home now."
I had a ticket booked within an hour, for later that day. The earliest I could get.
I tried to take a nap to get some rest, as I'd be traveling later that day with my 6 month old son. Again, I woke up to another phone call.
This time it was my mom, freaking out. "Did your sister call you? You don't need to come home, it's okay, it's not time!" .. and my heart fell, and broke.
Either A, things are really stressful at home and my grandmother isn't that ill yet... or B, she really is, and my mom is not coping.
I told her the ticket was bought so I'd be coming home anyway.
I got there on July 17. My grandmother passed on July 25.
I am so grateful for that time, because when I got there, she was still somewhat lucid and able to talk and spend time with me and my son. I was there to help my family through the whole mess, and I gave her euology.
Being woken up by those terrible phone calls was both awful and a complete stroke of luck.

Your bedroom window sliding open.
My 2nd year of university, I'm asleep. My cat is growling at the window, which was common because of neighborhood cats, so I just tried to fall back asleep.
Then I heard my window slide open (I had the basement room). I bolted up, and saw a dark figure crawling through the window. I panicked, grabbed the machete I kept next to my bed, and started yelling at the person. Turns out my roommate was drunk and forgot his key, but man it was scary.

I had a female roomy in college that was epileptic and never told anyone. She had a seizure in the night that started with a creepy low whining that became a full on blood curdling yell followed by convulsions. I busted into her room with a knife thinking it was an assault, and she had her eyes open and rolling around in diff directions, and when I tried to grab her to see what in the actual fuck was going on her joints and sockets would just pull out. The sound her shoulders made when I tried to pick her up still sticks with me. When my other roomy came in we called her sister, who didn't see why we were worried enough to call her @3am. She just said "just hang out with her until she comes back around, she's gonna be confused." Under. Statement. She cried for like an hour making babble until she was finally able to grasp what was going on. That shits unsettling.
Tl,dr. The howling sound of a roomies midnight seizure followed by the feeling n sound of accidentally dislocation her shoulder.

Worst I've ever heard was actually just a few months ago. My wife, while still asleep, ran her nails along the wall above our heads, like somebody scratching a chalk board. Sounded like something ripping through the wall right next to my head.
I went from perfectly calm, deep and restful sleep to "holy shit something dangerous is ripping through the wall to get into my house and kill us all and now I have to save the wife and progeny from certain doom" in about 0.4 seconds. Though I realized what it actually was almost immediately, that adrenaline rush basically kick started my day about 4 hours earlier than I would have liked.
Sure, it's probably pretty tame by most people's standards, but I'm sure I've led a sheltered life so this was probably the worst I've had.

Loud crackling and popping..... you wake in a smoke filled room, unable to see, choking on smoke, the heat growing ever stronger and the undying urge to seek fresh air with every horrid breath of thick black chemical infused smoke, you make it a few steps and collapse thinking to yourself why didn't you practice fire drills and know your multiple escape routes, WHY DIDN'T YOU REPLACE THE FIRE ALARM BATTERY! Your then awaken by someone furiously pushing on your chest trying to bring you back to life, forcing the air in your body and your blood to circulate after he just pulled you from your now non existent home. You gasp for the air, your esophagus and lungs reek in pain with every breath from the super heated gasses you inhaled as you are whisked away on the stretcher and off to recover. You tell yourself that from here on out you will remember to check and replace the batteries in your smoke detectors, so that just maybe the next sound you awake to is that fire alarm warning you to evacuate possibly saving your life.
That being said it is Fire Prevention Week everybody should check the batteries in their smoke detectors and make sure they are good and working because you never know when it may save your life in the middle of the night. Also make sure you have your escape routes pre-planned your front door is not always the safest route and window or alternate door can be used as an escape route as well always use the closest and safest escape route to where you are! If you have children make sure you run through a fire drill with them as well so they know what to do in the event of a fire and where to meet you once they get out of the house.

Luckily out of the 14 years of living here no major damage has occurred to my house or cars, just some driveway and shrubbery losses.

My 91 year old father lives with me, so the sound of a body hitting the floor is pretty unsettling. This happens occasionally and a couple of times it was NOT my imagination.

The sound of my dad gagging in the morning. My dad has been a constant smoker for close to 49 years now. I feel like the side effects of smoking is finally catching up to him. Every morning before he gets to work I hear him gagging, trying to get rid of his phlegm or whatever it is stuck in his throat. These sounds also include coughing and blowing his nose. Probably just as hard hearing it is actually seein my dad's face. Eyes all watery face all red and bits of snot next to his nostrils. Wish my dad stopped smoking...

My phone malfunctioned and held down the home button and the TV was on a timer. Silly now, but at 4am in a strange town that was really scary.

I'd have to say the general quarters call to battle stations on a naval ship. My dad told me that normally when he'd be on a cruise and hear it in the middle of the night, it wasn't that big of a deal, since he knew it was a drill. Especially if he knew they were in the middle of the Med or the Atlantic. It usually meant the captain was having trouble sleeping, so he figured why not run a drill.
But when he would hear that while they were in the gold during the first Gulf War, not so much. He was on an oiler, so they had enough ammo, bunker fuel and Jet-A on board to level a small third world country, and his station during general quarters was his office - tucked away in the bowels of the ship next to the boiler room, since he was the chief in charge of that department. He said a missile hit or a mine in the right spot would obliterate the ship so fast he'd not have time to process what was going on. One minute alive, dead the next. And even if he did survive, the chances of him making it topside were slim, since as chief, he would be the last to leave that area.

Pretty late but... A mother screaming when told that they have found her daughter's body.
I used to live in an apartment community that bordered half of a lake (quarry). My apartment had the honor of being just feet away from a cliff that kids liked to jump off of to swim. It was illegal as there was dangerous rocks below, and there were signs and fences... no matter. Daily the kids would go anyway until the cops came to ticket them. Some older and more daring would sneak in at night. That is what occurred around 3-4 am when a couple of guys and their bartender friend (the mother's daughter) needed a place to chill. Apparently the girl was pressured by her friends to jump, though she didn't want to. When she eventually did... she didn't survive and a little after 7am I woke up to the sound of the cops telling her mother they had found her body. The mother was 4 feet from my bedroom window and screaming at the cops to let her go to her because she "gave birth to her, [she] can help her". My classmate/neighbor had to give me a ride to school as my car was in the area taped off by the cops.
What makes this worse was that it echoed a boy's death earlier the same summer. That one occurred during the day but one of his attempted rescuers chilled in my apartment waiting for the detectives to come interview him.
I liked that apartment and its great view, but not the tragedy that came with it.

Thankfully we don't get too much weather needing the EAS but it's terrifying. I hope I don't get woke up by one at night anytime soon.
Frightening intensifies, sound of nightmares...
Also would not like to wake up to the apocalyptic doom that is Chicago's tornado sirens

Looking at your phone to see that it's a number you don't have saved and answering scared shitless of what is gonna be said. Then it's emergency services saying the school is closed because of weather. When you have an off semester and not even in the GOD DAMNED STATE!!! Michigan and I was in Georgia. So I just hang up and go back to sleep and I shit you not they called back 20 minutes later to say the same thing. Plus two texts saying the same gd thing.

Turns out the huge tree in our yard fell onto the power line in our driveway and knocked down the entire power grid on our street. I fell back asleep only to wake up to the sound of utility workers sawing and cleaning up the mess.
Or the time I woke up to a loud bang to look up and discover a guy with a knife in the doorway to my aunts bedroom.

A puking cat is up the top. 4am . You hear the rowls, and then the hurling.
Half-blind you stumble around, felines darting between your ankles and yowling at you because they think it's breakfast time and you can't find the barf
After ten minutes of fruitless searching you give up. You go back to bed. You're just about to climb back under the sheets when you find the cat puke
By stepping in it.

So I was on a high school trip from my architecture class to England. We went with another school that the out teacher was good friends with and so one of the hotels didn't have enough rooms so all 4 of us guys from my school had to sleep in one room. Note that one of them listens to like ghetto music and the one song he sets his alarm to starts off with a motherfucking gun shot. Woke up with a heart attack, in an unfamiliar hotel, in a different country, twice. Matter of fact I think all three others of us did.

Someone puking. Just the gag followed by the couple of seconds of silence... and then splash. My brother was diagnosed with the stomach flu earlier this year and I remembered for the two days that he had it; constantly waking up in the middle of the night just to let it out and then go back to sleep with only an hour at best of down-time before having to go back to it.
We sleep in the same room with a washroom connected so I get to hear it all. I'd just blast happy music and hum to rule it out. It sucked and I felt bad but certainly nasty to wake up to whether it be in the morning or the middle of the night.

I am on Baconreader [has anybody else had issues with the posts defaulting to "new" despite saying "best"] and I apologize if this has already been posted, as I can't find a "Search for Comment" feature.
My Android phones (Samsung Galaxy s2 as well as some unrembered [disremembered?] past models) had a sound file called "Rooster" loaded onto it. As you can imagine, it is the sound of a rooster crowing. I try to pick the most annoying/jarring sounds to wake me up in the morning and so far NOTHING has come close to matching that level of annoyance. I hate the sound byte with a passion and often hear the same caliber of sound used in various films and I experience the PTSD (apologies to the troops) of being woken up for class or work well before I've received the necessary amount of sleep.
Great alarm. Terrible sound.

At least (before you call me a monster no one was killed) it gave me the proof I needed when people don't believe when I tell them I really don't function in the morning. Had that been any closer to me, I'd been killed, with how useless I was, when I usually am so sharp and quick on my feet.

Probably an obvious answer, but your alarm. Especially when you use your phone and have the same song set to play. Eventually, every time you hear the song start up, even when out of context, it's just assaulting to your ears. Great way to ruin a song: change it up every few nights or so.

According to one of my friends, it's the sound of his 2-year-old screaming in abject terror... and then suddenly stopping, in the middle of the second shriek.
No real explanation to it, other than a bad dream. My friend and his wife were entirely freaked out and couldn't move for a few seconds, when they burst into the room, found her peacefully sleeping. She was more freaked out about mom and dad running in there and waking her up, apparently.

I lived in an apartment a few years ago, and one night around 3am, I woke up to something that sounded like some insane person was wailing at the top of their lungs from inside the apartment... I have never felt so terrified waking up like that. My first thoughts were, "FUCK why don't I have some kind of weapon to defend myself with, not even a damn lamp! (Ceiling light in this room). So I get out of bed and slowly walk towards the door. It's only getting louder and my hair is already standing as high as it can across my entire body. As I get to the door I notice that the sound is now... Behind me? Wtf? So I turn around and realize it's coming from the a/c wall unit... I unplugged it and the sound goes away. I plug it in again and the sound is back... I was never so relieved in my life. I still haven't forgotten what that damn broken a/c sounds like. Though I would imagine waking up to an actual insane person screaming in your house would be so much worse.

My upstairs neighbor who refused to wear a mask for her sleep apnea. She would snore so loud and then just stop, but after a few minutes she would cough herself awake from not breathing. I would wake up and constantly wonder is today the day where she doesn't cough herself awake and I have to call an ambulance? The next thing of course was if she woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep she would move around her furniture to keep herself occupied. Thankfully she was kind enough to have hardwood floors installed when she moved in so that there was no chance for silence whatsoever.

I have even tried smashing the alarm and it still looks brand new. I even let an animal drive me off a cliff and I still woke up the same day to that damn song. Is it tomorrow yet?

:< one time when I was 12, my big Golden Retriever, Orrie (rest in peace faithful soul), was sleeping in my bed like he did every night. Orrie had a very comforting, large, gentle presence, and he purred when you pet him...admittedly it sounded more like a subdued, drawn out burp, but it was very cute.
One night Orrie must not have been feeling too good, because he was making unhappy noises. I was half-asleep and dreaming about Christmas morning and my dad giving me presents, when I heard this loud, long fffffFFFFFLLLLLLRRRRRRRPPPPPPFfffff~ - right before I woke up, I dreamt my dad looked behind me and said 'Oh well there's a big surprise right there'.
I woke up, got up, and found a pig puddle of doggy diarrhea in front of my door by stepping in it. Orrie looked devastated. I wasn't even mad, just hopped to the bathroom, cleaned off my foot, cleaned off Orrie's butt, told mom and dad, and comforted him.
So my absolute least favorite sound to wake up to is fffffFFFFFLLLLLLRRRRRRRPPPPPPFfffff~ because I associate it with stepping in dog dook.

Where we used to live, I would wake up often to the sound of a rat scratching inside the bedroom wall. My wife slept through it most of the time, but every once in a while me trying to scare the thing away by beating on the wall would wake her up. I always told her I thought it was a squirrel - I guess because they're cuter than rats - but it was definitely a rat. The suspense of never knowing if that sucker was going to finally make its way through the wall at 3 a.m. was just too much for me to handle.

Not waking up, but falling asleep. When going to bed late in the summertime, the birds begin chirping at 3-4am. It is really, really annoying and very hard to fall asleep to. It must be something psychological, as it is probably a sign that one should wake up.

Got woken up to a SWAT team breaking down our front door during finals week in college. Apparently, our roommate had been dealing drugs out of her back window and didn't bother mentioning it to us. Finals that morning were lovely, after the cops piss tested and scared the shit out of us all.

On the last few months I've been woken up at night by a weird scratching, clicking sound coming from a tiny air vent near the roof in my room. I have no idea what it is but it must speak to some primal subconscious part of my brain because it wakes me from a deep, deep sleep. I slowly wake up with a large sense of dread and a sort of calm panic (if that makes sense) and often I'm so tired I feel dizzy and slightly sick. I have absolutely no idea what it is though.

A racoon walking underneath your cot as you sleep on your front porch. Sleep paralysis? Please. This is full on paralyzation. A hungry, possibly rabid bandit is scouring for a midnight snack and you can feel his back brush the bottom of your cot to send an extra shiver down your spine.
You look to your left. Sitting on the cot-side table is an unopened can on Diet Coke. It's purpose isn't consumption; it's ammunition. You grab the can. The racoon walks towards the porch steps. When he sees you, he runs. Looks left, and hops into a tree. Now is your chance to strike. You see him climb. You study his path. You aim. You fire. You've hit the bastard right in the head. He falls and runs away faster than lightning.
You've protected your ground. You are king of the porch.

The Tuesday noon siren in San Francisco, when it's neither Tuesday or noon.
https://localwiki.org/sf/Tuesday_Noon_Siren
It's literally a WWII air raid siren system, they broadcast voice now but it's like a scary the world is going to end voice.
Also since my smartphone is no longer rooted, the mandatory alerts that are set to go off if there's a serious emergency. I got a new phone and forgot to mute the AMBER Alert sound and I nearly crapped my pants since it's a loud series of beeps followed by a scary voice synthesizer, if it warned of something other than an AMBER Alert I'd run for the hills if I didn't live on one.
That and the Emergency Alert System outside of tests, basically if the EAS gives instructions regardless of the instructions the tl;dr is "you're fucked". If the EBS ever says "...on behalf of the..." I'm telling everyone to shut up and I'm turning on the TV. Think about it 9/11 in the US it was all over the news so there was no point in using EAS because everyone knew, if something is bad enough that they had to use it... it's gotta be really fucking bad.
example of a worst case senario EBS for those outside of the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eksi6TQbHZc
If I ever hear 2 of these simultaneously I'm booking to the nearest basement before the message even ends.
Also the sound of drywall or other materials buildings are made of cracking under an Earthquake, minor ones I could care less about but knowing that there's no chance the city I live in can get away from a big one unscathed on top of knowing what the last big one did...

The police kicking down your door and pointing a MP5 submachine gun in your face while executing a search warrant for pot on your neighbor because the duplex you share is connected and they don't realize that your side of the duplex is a different residence, while they kick down your roommates door in the basement and waking up his girlfriend, naked and forcing her to get dressed in front of male officers (more than 1) after refusing to call for a female officer. This happened 3 years ago.

I have two: Car tires screeching and then a child screaming followed by silence, and being in a tent alone in the middle of nowhere when you suddenly hear footsteps in your campsite.
The first is when my neighbor's dog was hit by a car, and the second turned out to be a park ranger checking our parking pass, but was the first time in my entire life I wished I had a gun. The absolute vulnerability of being in the middle of nowhere with no one around to help, separated from an unknown person by only a flimsy tent is indescribable.

Guy I went to uni with told me a story once. He went to a party with his girlfriend, and stayed until most people had left.
He was pretty drunk, so he told his gf that he was going outside for some air. He headed upstairs first yo use the bathroom, and decided to crash in one of the bedrooms.
He woke up in the morning to the sound of his girlfriend being fucked by the parties host (her friend, not his). He recognised her distinctive screams coming from the next room. Apparently she though my friend went back to her place, which was nearby.
My friend walked straight out of there, and picked up his stuff from her place. He left her a note saying "stopped in the back room at the party last night. Have a nice life". Then he blocked her number and never spoke to her again.
They hadn't been dating too long, and the guy took it like a champ to be honest.

The place we were staying was next to a lot under development, & at 9am a fucking helicopter landed to drop off a bunch of construction stuff. About twenty feet from the window.

The worst sound to wake up to is the sound of water leaking in the house. You're not awake enough to know where and you have no idea how long it's been leaking or the damage its done. (FYI: I woke up to this yesterday morning at 5:30.... not fun)

When I was in Afghanistan, i had the day off to stay in my room and sleep, and i woke up to the sound of controlled detonations rattling my room. Needless to say explosions are scary when you're asleep (and awake for that matter), but thankfully we weren't attacked.

Many years ago I would set my stereo to wake me up with my own music. It worked pretty well.
However, one evening I slotted in my Pink Floyd "Final Cut" cassette (yeah, cassette, it was quite some time ago). Side 2 begins with the sound of an incoming missile which then explodes. I had the volume loud too.
Scary way to wake up.

We woke up a few weeks ago to that sound. A quick check and its outside. A flashlight and a run finds a neighbor's Siamese cat cornered up in a bush by a hungry grey fox who seriously wanted dinner.
Chased off the fox , and kitty ran home.

It was a Monday morning, five days before my fifteenth birthday. I was home from school (this was during the holidays) and I woke up at 6:00 AM the way I always do. My room is adjacent to my parents' room, and as I woke up I heard what sounded like crying coming from their room. I knew that something was wrong, but I wasn't sure what, so I went in and there was my mom sitting on the edge of the bed in tears. She told me to come over to her, so I sat down and she put her arms around me and said, "Grandpa passed away last night." I felt as though someone had punched me in the stomach, and for a few moments my mind went blank. Then I started screaming, "No! You're lying to me! He can't be dead! This isn't true!" I was crying too, because in those few minutes the world as I knew it had fallen into tatters around me.
Grandpa was in his mid-nineties, and was the grandparent to whom I was the closest - my other grandpa was an alcoholic who died when I was five, and even though I visited my grandma fairly often, we didn't have the same kind of relationship. Grandpa's house was my second home growing up; I used to go there twice a week after school and every Sunday. I was his only grandchild, and he would buy me little presents all the time, not just any presents but things that were carefully chosen and handpicked - summer dresses, books, dolls, toys, tea sets, and everything that appeals to a child. As I grew older, he gave me all his medals and badges that he earned during the war, which are some of my most treasured possessions.
Watching him go from an independent man to being completely helpless broke my heart. He had to use a walker and often fell, and he went to hospital so many times for various things - shattering part of his kneecap, hitting his head, cutting his hand when he slipped in his shower - and it was so hard to see him so vulnerable.
When he died, he'd had a chest infection for a few days, and on his last day he also had a slight stroke. My mom and I were caring for him, and when he started having trouble breathing we called the paramedics because it was out of our control. Hearing him coughing and the rasping, bubbling sound of the fluid in his chest made me weep. It was a sound that traumatized me for months afterwards. Before they left to take him to the hospital, I kissed his forehead and told him I loved him. He couldn't talk, but managed a smile, and that smile is the last memory I have of him. He died an hour after being admitted.
Grandpa, you were more than a grandfather to me, you were one of my best friends. I think about you a lot, and reminisce on all the good times we had together. I know that you're in a happier place now, but I miss you so much. On that day when you closed your eyes for the last time, heaven gained another beautiful angel. I love you always and forever.
Damn...I'm crying now...all the memories have just come flooding back </3

Essentially, i was sleeping in from a long school week on a saturday. The harder the sleep, the more contorted my body becomes. Well, my mom saw my arm in an odd position and thought she should "fix it."
After meeting sufficient resistance, she gave a quick yank and i woke up to an audible pop quickly followed by enough pain to almost shit my pants.
... that was a fun weekend.
