Waking someone who is sleeping is not easy, especially if he is fast asleep. The first option, use the indirect method, especially if he doesn't need to get up immediately (for example because he has to go to school or work). Alternatively, use the direct method or surprise him if you are brave and ready to be scolded. However, if you want to wake a sleepwalker, it's a good idea to lead him back to bed. Do not wake him while he is walking.
Step
Method 1 of 4: Using the Live Technique
Step 1. Turn on the light
Open the curtains or window blinds because sunlight is the best way to wake people up! If the room has no windows or it's getting late, turn on a lamp at the head of the bed or another lamp in the room.
Light is a signal for the body to wake up from sleep. Turning on the light when someone is asleep makes the brain active again so that it wakes up
Step 2. Use an appetizing scent to grab his attention
Open the bedroom door and go to the kitchen. The pleasant aroma will spread throughout the house when you warm a piece of ham, bake pizza, or brew coffee. Usually, the smell of delicious food makes people wake up and leave the room.
- If you don't have much time, use the microwave ! Place the ham or pizza in the microwave and heat until you can smell the food.
- If the smell of food does not enter the room, prepare breakfast and then take it to the room. In addition to waking the sleeping person, he or she will be happy and grateful for your kindness.
Step 3. Set the alarm and place it far enough from the bed
If the alarm ringer could be turned off just by rolling over, he would sleep again. If the alarm is hard to reach (including the phone alarm!), he will wake up because he has to get up to turn it off.
If he doesn't have time to set an alarm so it goes off when he has to get up, set an alarm and place it next to his bed. If it rings, he thinks he set the alarm before going to bed
Step 4. Change the air temperature in the room
If you can wait, it will wake up due to changes in temperature, for example by speeding up the fan rotation or lowering the air conditioner temperature to make the air cooler. Alternatively, spray warm air from the room heater. Although changes in air temperature take time, people who are sleeping will wake up feeling uncomfortable.
- Warming the room temperature using an air heater makes a sleeping person feel disturbed!
- Open the windows if it is very hot or very cold outside.
Step 5. Make a small noise in the room
Go into the sleeping person's room and make some noise, but not so loud that he doesn't startle and get irritated. You can simply wake him up by hearing the sound as you pick things up from the floor and put them back on the table.
Alternatively, open the door to check if he's awake and then close it again once you've entered
Step 6. Make sounds in the house
Slam the plastic bowl on the kitchen counter or shut the door hard. Turn on the TV in an enclosed space. The echoing sound woke him up.
Alternatively, open the water tap in the nearest bathroom or talk at the bedroom door
Method 2 of 4: Using the Direct Way
Step 1. Say "Good morning
with loud noise.
Make sure your voice is loud enough to wake someone up while letting them know they should get up without talking too much.
- If he responds by muttering "ughhhhhh", so be it. He was awake, but still lying down. Remind him of what he has to do throughout the day and then offer him coffee or breakfast to get him out of bed.
- You can gently touch his shoulder to wake him up.
Step 2. Ring your cell phone in his room
Turn up the phone ringer volume to the maximum! Leave your cell phone in the room and then use another phone to call your cell phone. He has to walk to find the source of the sound if you put the phone some distance from the bed.
Alternatively, sound an alarm to wake him up
Step 3. Turn on the TV and turn up the sound
If there's a TV in the room, turn it on and turn it up a bit and then choose his favorite show or noisy cartoon. The light and sound of the TV will wake him up.
Don't turn up the TV until you're disturbed yourself, but loud enough so that he can't sleep
Step 4. Use the pet as a favor
A cat or dog can help wake a sleeping person. If the pet immediately makes noises or clings to its owner, put it in the room then. He will wake up if he feels disturbed.
If that doesn't work, use food or toys to lure the pet into the room or place the bait on the stomach of the person you want to wake up
Step 5. Pull the blanket off
If he is still fast asleep, gently pull the blanket off. Hold the edge of the blanket that is not pinched. Hold the blanket tightly and pull it off so he wakes up!
This classic way is very reasonable. A very drastic change in temperature (and a sudden loss of comfort) wakes him from sleep
Method 3 of 4: Surprise Her
Step 1. Make a loud noise with the intention of waking a sleeping person
Go into the room and hit the bottom of the empty can with a metal/wooden spoon or hold 2 lids on a pot and pat it hard. Do different ways to make noise. This step is very effective if you want to surprise him.
If there is a musical instrument, such as a drum or trumpet, play it in the room. Alternatively, blow a whistle to wake him up
Step 2. Play the song out loud
Alternatively, play her favorite song, but make sure the beat is vibrant. Play a song out loud on a loudspeaker in the room or in the next room. He's about to jump out of bed!
Play a song on your phone to surprise him, but make sure the volume is loud enough so he can't fall asleep
Step 3. Pull her leg so she wakes up
Make sure you don't hurt the person you want to wake up and don't let them fall out of bed. Usually, people will wake up immediately if their legs are pulled, especially if the blanket is taken.
Hold the foot by the ankle just above the heel or at the calf so it doesn't hurt
Step 4. Surprise by pretending there is an earthquake
Shake the mattress while shouting loudly, "Wake up, there's an earthquake!" When he realized there was no earthquake, he would be completely awake.
Instead of shaking the mattress, rocking the edge of the bed
Step 5. Pour cold water
The fastest way to wake a sleeping person is to splash cold water on his face. Pour water into a glass of ice cubes and then transfer the water to another glass. To wake him up immediately, splash water on his face and chest, but be prepared for a tantrum!
Give him a towel to improve his mood
Method 4 of 4: Waking a Sleepwalker
Step 1. Check if the person you want to wake up is sleepwalking
People who sleepwalk usually show no expression, don't care about others, even like they are looking in the dark. If you see someone like this, chances are they are sleepwalking.
At times, he seems to want to do a task, such as rummaging through a drawer to find something
Step 2. Lead him back to bed
The best way to help a sleepwalker is to lead him back to bed. Help him walk slowly into the room until he lies in bed. Usually, he fell asleep right away.
Gently touch her shoulder or arm to make her turn or turn as she heads into the bedroom
Step 3. Wake him up only if he does something dangerous
People who sleepwalk can perform various activities while asleep, such as cooking, opening door locks, and even driving a vehicle. Even if it's hard to wake him up, you should help him right away if he's doing something that's dangerous to himself or others.
