Apart from the alarm clock, what sound are you likely to hear on first waking? What would you like to hear?

For me it's often the sound of a kookaburra laughing; sometimes there are several calling to each other.

    I'm your Chucky doll Mister and I'm in no way anatomically correct. Kind of oversized, but I'll leave that opinion up to you. This post was edited by Zack at March 2, 2017 6:14 PM MST

  • I too hear birds.  I like to think their singing is songs saluting and praising my awakening.

  • My cat complaining that I've disturbed it from where it's been pressed against me sleeping ... As I get up to go to work and that lazy bugger goes back to sleep ... I tell you evolution is all wrong... Cats are in charge and they have raised us up to be better servents!

  • Well, let's face it, they were gods in ancient Egypt. It's no wonder they demand servility.

  • I generally wake up and let one off.  The quality of it often predicts the quality of the day ahead.
