I have yet to figure out how to wake Sarah up without scaring her. I feel so bad when it happens. Even when she asks me to wake her up at a certain time, I go in and I say her name softly, she thinks I am there to kill her (which is sooo not true!). Now, this is understandable, because when you are not used to someone being in your room and you are asleep it can be scary to have someone standing over you, I get that, totally(which is why I have a min baseball bat by my bad thank you dad!). I just wish she wasn't scared of me.
This morning I went in to tell her something and she was really startled. Granted it was 3:30 a.m. and not 6:45 like when I go in to say I am leaving for the day. Let me explain, I had been waking up on and off all night and couldn't figure it out then I realized I had forgotten to take my meds, long story, and went in to ask her advice. I do m=not make a habit of going around waking people up in the middle of the night!
Unfortunatley after that neither of us could go back to sleep. She is asleep now and I hope she sleeps in, I turned off the alarms as I am off to work. I feel really bad but I needed a friend and we always tell each other to wake the other up so I did :-) This too shall pass.
So if anyone has any tips on how to wake her up without scaring her I am sure she would appreciate it!

You could try to poke her with your mini baseball bat. That way you wouldn't be standing over her when she opens her eyes. :-)
Oh yes, I think poking would be SOOO much better:-) Thanks Rick!
How about just turning the light on. That always seems to help me. I still usually get ticked off, but its better than being scared to death. :)
