    I woke up a couple of days a go choking loudly and not being able to breath, the room was boiling and I was panicking but it was alright in the end scary for a second though.

    Also woke up one time by some one kicking me, not hard but kind of nudging me you know, I looked up to see a Garda sayin "get up ta ****". Was out with the college lads the night before and got so plastered I slept in the street. Luckily he left me go home and didnt drag me in! Horrible feeling, I must say that was a low point for me...............

    Taken from b3ta.com:
    Why has B3ta made me relive this WWWWWWWWHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
    bEFORE i START-fecking caps lock- my tale of woe, a little background.

    I used to live in Bangkok, and also like a bit of a drink. As such for many years I used to wake up still langered with strange girls in my bed. The usual thing to do in this situation is grope around a bit, then have a nice drunken bleary eyed morning shag then send the young lady on her way, with the money in her purse to keep her kids in shoes for another month.

    You think this is going to be about waking up with a ladyboy don't you. You're wrong, that was last weeks QOTW. This is much much worse.

    So I'd been away for a few years, and it was time to pop home to visit friends and family for a week. I arrived had dinner with the parents, and it was off down the pub for a session with the mates.

    Now I like to think I can take my drink, but the combination of getting on the plane pissed, drinking for the entire flight- good old Thai air, they still ply you with drink to this day- then an evening down the local on top of my jet lag, and I was in a right state. At least I think I was, as I can't remember this part of the story, I'm pieceing it together from what I've been told, and a little deduction.

    So it's 2 in the morning, the local gorgonzola city club is kicking out, and I need to go back to the parents house for some long overdue sleep.

    But on arriving at the front door I had the old can't get the key in the lock problem, so in the end settled for sleeping on the garden path in front of the front door.

    Now my dad is a baker, and as such gets up very early in the morning to go to work. So at around 5 he opens the front door to find me asleep on the path, wakes me up, tells me I'm an idiot, and sends me inside to go to bed.

    I stumble upstairs climb into bed, and all is well with the world. I can remember none of this.

    What I can remember, is waking up about an hour later- why is it when you've been on a proper bender you can only sleep for a short time, when what you need is a good eight hours?- in a darkened room, pissed out of my face, and a bit disorientated.

    Now I thought I was still in my room in Bangkok, and true to form there was a nice warm body in the bed next to me. So what else could I do, but try and get it on. But things didn't go as usual, my advances were met with screams of Eden, what the **** are you doing?

    Yes, I had stunmbled upstairs, and got into bed with my mum. Apparently she had tried to kick me into my own bed, but to no avail, so had gone back to sleep, with me sleeping in her bed. Then I woke up and tried it on.

    So the most horrific thing I've seen, is me, trying to **** my mum.

    Just recounting this brings back those suicidal feelings.

    I'm off to book some more therapy.

    Don't make the length jokes. Please don't.

    It was a couple of months ago now. I just remember being shaken awake by my friend. Apparently, I was choking on my own vomit.Now that was a wake up call! I haven't touched a drop since.

    I was stalking this girl in the park. I had my handkerchief already soaked in chloroform, when suddenly she turned and looked at me. I nonchalantly pretended to blow my nose.......and woke up an hour later slumped over a park bench.

    Sleep Paralysis. Felt like a demon was in the room and it was the most scariest experience of my life. I couldn't move a muscle and only found out years later it was sleep paralysis.


    Ok had whole big thing written out detailing my experience of sleep paralysis but it's gone! :/

    Let's just say I'd rather wake up to a room completely covered in vomit and poop, than ever have to go through that experience again.

    Also had fair share of those texts telling you someone you loved was dead :( Don't like unexpected texts in the morning as a result, they are nearly always bad.

    Worst wake up was 3rd year Biochemistry exam I think. I had done a good amount of study beforehand so I didn't have to cram. Then the night before the exam I found out I had studied completely the wrong topics....So I was basically left at 4pm the day before the exam with the same amount of useful knowledge as if I hadn't done any work at all.

    I had to let my brain defrost for a few hours to contemplate what to do. Met a friend and she said just f*ck it, pull a sickie. Weighing up the options, I decided to go full throttle cramming from 7pm all the way to 6am. I got 45 minutes sleep and got back up for final revision/collation at 6:45am. Waking up after so long a period of intense cramming, how tired i was to continue knowing what the next few hours were like was the worst feeling I've ever had.

    Went in for the 9am exam, had a pounding headache while doing the exam and ended up puking when I got out. Even had a headache after spending the rest of the day sleeping. Actually ended up passing! One of my proudest but lowest moments, vowed never to cram again.

    I was at a house party with my classmates after the last day of assessment so was working flat out the day and night and that morning and got about two hours sleep max. Obviously there was drink and a little nap after arriving at the house didn't help.

    Anyway after being awake in the early stages and nodding for a while I woke up on the sofa with three people on top of me, one of them was the biggest fella in the class and I squeezed off with a dead leg when he announced that someone just "ruined the human centipede". It was quiet at this stage but later or before :confused: I woke up with someone singing to me and people dancing on the coffee table with music blaring and I was completely drunkly confused and went out to the kitchen. I was asked if I was OK and basically hugged that person in distress and was laughed at by people not in my course, how dare they:"don't laugh" I shrieked. I then announced to one of my best friends in a slightly hushed tone that I was going to kill everyone.

    I'm normally the innocent one. I still haven't fully pieced it all together completely but it was mostly sleep deprivation and the drink.

    van full of petrol cans blown up around the corner from my house when I was a teen. Scared the living bejazus out of me & set off all the car alarms, dogs barking & kids crying.

    That... and then the time fell out of a tree when catching 40 winks

    You do NOT want it to happen! Think about fluffy sheep or something else :D

    I've had sleep paralysis a few times, worst one was when I woke up and there were all these dark figures standing around my bed and staring at me. I lost the plot, didn't know what was happening. It felt so real.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    Phone calls at 3 in the morning are never good. Always going to be telling you a relative has died or is in the process of dying.


    Yeah, worst wake- up I had was at two in the morning. Had gone to bed happy enough that Dad was expected to have a comfortable night at the hospital. Woken then by my mother, sounding all confused, saying that the hospital had rang her. Dad was very restless, and asking for his family. Just knew that was it, and 17 long hours later it was:(

    Sorry to hear that. I was going to mention something but it's too trivial in light of this.

    Ah, tell us:D! On a lighter note, was woken this morning, by a smack in the chops from my sleeping daughter, who slept in with me last night, as her Dad is away:mad:

    The most shocking wake up I ever got was after moving into our own house, my daughter had a bad night teething (4 teeth came at the one time) and I woke up to find my mother-in-law standing at the bottom of the bed. I got such a fright, to this day my husband never leaves the house without locking the door.

    When I was in college one Wednesday evening I took the last bus home was woken up by a cleaner on a bus in the Roxboro Road bus depot. A long way from home, in other words. You'd think the driver might have given me a shout but I suppose that's not his job, is it?

    Years back woke up by the house phone ringing, phone call from Mum's specialist, results of her scan after being on caemo for 6 months or so, wasn't good news, cancer had spread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 319 ✭✭netnerd


    Once woke up on a hospital stretcher, having stitches put in my head, with two police ladies standing beside me. My trousers were missing, but I had my wallet and phone clutched in my hand.

    Still no idea what happened that night.

    Worst call I got was a few weeks ago ,sister rang me to say my mam tuck a bad turn in hospital.
    Considering I had seen her a few hours earlier and was told she was fine ,I hadn't thought the worst.
    She died with no family around her.
    What a ****ed up place this is sometimes.

    Woke up after 4 hours sleep, immensely hungover, by a phonecall telling me I'm late for work. Ran out the door to get there quickly, slipped in the mud and rain.

    i'll add to the sleep paralysis list


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Mrmoe


    Woke up to the sound of my sister yelling that the house was on fire and to get out.Before that it was that my dad and mom around the house after my brother was in an accident at 2am. Both a long time ago but both still clear in my mind to this day.

    Hopefully there wasn't a condom hanging out of your ass, of course that might mean they didn't wear a condom, potentially not good either way.

    The two times I woke up with my leg completely cramped were not fun. I could feel the muscle was like rock solid. Worst pain I've ever felt though was waking up in the middle of the night, every muscle in my chest and stomach gone into spasm. I still have no idea what caused any of it besides stress.
