Some people really should not be allowed independence of mobility. They just hurt themselves without someone there to steady them, or hold them down until they are ready.

Didn't sleep well for about a month, and I sitll don't suffer insects to be alive in my bedroom.


I had something similar happen. Woke up to one landing on my cheek. Scared the hell out of me as well. Luckily it stayed on the pillow for easier disposal, but I didn't sleep in that room for a few days

Well, I wouldn't consider these the worst way of waking up, but its kind of bad.

1. Waking up, finding that yo can't breathe, and panicking. I realized that my arm was on top of my face, and I had NO control over it. I had to use my left arm to get it off

2. Waking up sitting inside the bathtub for no reason.

3. Anytime you wake up in a place that you didn't fall asleep is pretty bad.

4. Waking up, and as I sat up, I banged my head REAL hard on the ceiling.

My Girl came running into the room to ask me if i was alright. Funny thing is i don't even remember going in the bathroom.

Nothing like having to deal with everyone at work asking what happened to my face.

All this from a leg cramp.

I'm sorry but.....lol

I had collapsed straight downwards, and only my chin hitting a table slowed me down. I woke up bleeding profusely from where my tongue had gotten bitten into.

:laugh:

Wake up with all your friends and family standing around you talking about how natural you look.

Waking up to GF at foot of bed, looking at you.
You say "Hi sweetie"
She says " We have to talk."

That never gets any better.....

I woke up once with a charlie horse, sit up, hit my head on a shelf, fall off my bed, hit my head on a wall while falling(same spot I hit my head on the shelf) then go back to sleep on the floor and waking up to hit my head on the wall again.

The worst I remember is falling off my cot (I was 6) in our tent as I slept. I woke up frozen and alone.

Going to bed after downing 700 of a 750 mL bottle of Jack and waking up to a mixture of Kraft mac & cheese segments and Jack all over your face and chest,

The worst I've ever had is waking up to a charlie horse in both legs, except one was cramping open, and the other shut, it sucked :(

Huh, before reading this thread I thought I was the only one who had "charlie horses." Didn't know the term existed. Anyhow, I've had 2:

1. When I was a kid, my family used to go camping. One time my mattress deflated, so I crawled in with my parents. Theirs also deflated overnight and I woke up on a flat mattress while my parents had gone and slept on the other one. Wtf?

2. I was waking up and I felt something like a bird's foot (talons and stuff) on my face. I opened my eyes and found nothing there. I spent about 5 minutes looking around my bed looking for a bird or something. I still don't know wtf that was.

I've always only heard the term charlie horse applied to the immense pain in, and subsequent lack of usage of, your leg when something (usually the knee of another person) strikes the lateral/outer side of your mid-thigh.

Everything else (e.g., not being able to feel your legs when waking up) I'd simply describe as the limb falling asleep.

I've noticed that when I eat 2 cans of tuna or 1 large can of salmon for dinner I have really bad muscle cramps (feet and calves).

Giant spider. At least you can take comfort in the fact that it wasn't one of the 9 you are statistically bound to eat this year.

I hate spiders.

Actually, judging by the context of the posts, I'd say they were suffering cramps. A limb falling asleep isn't an acute pain that would wake someone up with a jolt usually.

not even close, worst way to wakeup would be realizing you were drugged and your ass hurt.

if it doesn't involve your parents having sex, I don't think anything can qualify for the "worst" whatever.

Actually the worst way to wake up is when my wife had a problem with night terrors a few years ago and sprung up at 3am, then proceded to punch me in the nuts while I was in a sound sleep.

Ahh...good times, good times.
