What wakes you up in the morning?

Birdies - I love the fact that they like my garden but there are times when I’d prefer the lie in to their dawn chorus…

Usually my bladder- sometimes my cough- sometimes just daylight?

The broken manhole outside the bedroom window!! Usually about 5 am when cars start coming down the road and it starts to 'click clack'

I regularly report the problem to the council, the local councillor and the MP, as do the neighbours, and we thought that relief was on the way when someone came, took photos and painted a blue cross on it. That was 2 months ago and it's still click clacking.

Often my bladder or more recently the blackbirds who are nesting just beyond my window. Their squawking is deafening.

My inbuilt 4am clock, my little brain clock that’s says, ‘hey up wake up it’s around 4 am’

I seem to have an internal alarm clock. I wake between six and seven, almost always. Have never slept late, not even when I was a teenager.

In equal measure………needing the loo, and bird song - particularly a thrush who lives very close by and sits in a neighbouring tree singing the dawn chorus. It is a delight…….and I am grateful that I woke up this morning, many people didn’t 😔

A purr

My bladder and / or my hungry cat.

I seem to have an internal alarm clock. I wake between six and seven, almost always. Have never slept late, not even when I was a teenager.

Yes, same here, although mine is usually between seven and half past. If I do need to be awake by a particular time, say for an appointment, I will set an alarm on my phone, but I rarely need it.

Bladder, daylight, the need to bring the milk in and cooing pigeons.

My bladder in the summer months and the heating coming on in the cooler months.
Awoke confused this morning as the boiler is humming and the radiators are clicking, it must be cool outside.

The builders in the field near our house. Constant beeping and banging so Sundays are the only lovely quiet morning when it's like it always used to be and I can hear the birds properly.

Pigeons, the hum of traffic building up in the distance, cars crunching over the gravel when neighbours are heading for work, the squeaky allotment gate when the first gardeners arrive, cheery dog walkers who could do with keeping their voices down before 7 o’clock.

The noise my DH makes telling Alexa to turn the alarm off every morning. Then in the en-suite continually turning the tap on full blast it drives me mad I have give up complaining now he does not listen!

The seagulls on the field along with the birds in my garden, as I sleep with the window wide open.

My upstairs neighbour as she slams her front door, which is next to my bedroom, when she goes out to work.

I always wake around 5.30 these days. At the moment the first noise is the screech of the gulls that nest on houses across the back of us. Getting worse every year.
The crows are often dancing on the roof too, they like picking off the moss looking for their breakfast.

Painful, stiff legs, 6am 😩

Needing the loo…or Peggy does.

My dog’s bladder! She wakes most mornings at about 5.30!

We have a flock of geese who fly over everymorning usually about 7am make such a noise.
They fly from lakes by the A1 (5 mins away) to the lakes outside our village
They usually return near the A1 about 6
Its as if they wear watches.
This is followed by the Red Kites they make a sqauking noise. They are circleing all day, love watching them..

My bladder and my dogs wanting their walk

Currawongs, magpies and wattlebirds looking for their breakfast. I don’t feed them everyday because I don’t want them to become too dependant but they let me know when I don’t.
