I have a friend that sent me a message to go back to sleep right when I woke up early one morning. I’m trying to figure out how she could have known I would wake up then. She was not in the room, apparently did not know when I had gone to sleep, and was not sending the message in response to seeing any image or indication of my being awake. Obviously, she doesn’t want to spoil her moment, but I would very much like to know how she did it. Any suggestions?
On your cellphone? Does it vibrate just before it audibly announces a message?
Oh, or… the call is coming from inside the house!
Where you woken by some noise perhaps? Like something loud on the street, and she happened to pass by, and assumed that the loud noise had woken you?
Dumb luck.
That was my guess as well. Via whatever phone function, she got the phone to make a noise a minute or two before she sent the text.
Or she’s outside the Matrix, and trying to contact you before the Machines close in.
Maybe she was the one shining the powerful flashlight into your windows before texting you.
It could be as simple as she intended it as a joke where the phone woke you up. Then you coincidentally woke up moments before and freaked out on her, and now she’s milking the situation for all it’s worth.
My iPhone vibrates when the message comes in, and then again a short time later if I don’t attend to it. Could it be that? If not, coincidence.
Sorry, wasn’t paying attention. This is what I think the most likely scenario is. She meant to wake you up with the text message “Go back to sleep” as a joke, but you either woke up a bit earlier coincidentally, or the phone woke you up earlier and you didn’t realize it.
Did you have a missed call from her just before she sent the message? I was thinking maybe she dialed your number accidentally, hung up real quick, but then was worried that she woke you up and sent the message to go back to sleep.
Okay, to clarify somethings:
I did not have any missed calls or texts from before the message telling me to go to sleep. I also did not make any calls/ send any texts while asleep. She doesn’t know exactly where I live, either, but it also was definitely not dumb luck.
Sorry for any confusion and thanks for the replies so far.
Why not?
Like I said, if your phone doesn’t vibrate/beep more than once for a message (like I said, my iPhone vibrates when the message comes in, and then it vibrates some time again later to remind me there’s a message I haven’t checked), then it’s pure coincidence, unless you think she is stalking you for some reason and watching your every move, just waiting for the second she sees you awaken, so she can press “send” on her phone.
Do you think she is psychic or something?
Simple, she turned the sleeping gas off and knows how long it takes you to recover from it.
Even on the days when I want to sleep in, I’ll wake up briefly somewhere +/- 15 minutes from when my alarm would have gone off on a regular day. That’s a pretty reasonable bet if someone is sending a text message in the morning.
More likely, I think the joke was to wake you up only to have you read a text message saying “Go back to sleep.” You were already awake, so it didn’t quite work that way, but any good comedian knows that you run with the joke you’ve got even if it wasn’t the joke you intended.
