What wakes you up in the morning?

The sea gulls nesting across the way. Noisy neighbours, is what they are.

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.

Don't quite know how that happened but there are men digging up the road!!!

The power of gransnet!!

My alarm on my phone at 9:30.

My DP otherwise I would be a regular Rip Van Winkle😁

Either my bladder, painful legs or on bin day people putting the bins out.

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.

My bladder and my dogs wanting their walk

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

Needing the loo…or Peggy does.

Painful, stiff legs, 6am 😩

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.

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

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

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!

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 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.

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.

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

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.

My bladder and / or my hungry cat.

A purr

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 😔

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