So, I have this little problem. I like to call it "Sleep Rage."
You know how at the end of the movie "Hook," Tinkerbell whispers to Peter Pan "You know that place between sleep and awake? That place where you still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan."
Well, Tink, that place is sometimes where I feel like killing people.
When I'm asleep and something, or someone wakes me up, there is a period of time, before I am fully conscious, mind you, where I am completely and justifiably (to myself) homicidal towards that something or someone.
I've thought of killing, or at least injuring some of my very best friends because they've talked loudly, made noise or done something to wake me from my slumber.
This is probably a bad thing. Now, take all this with a grain of salt. I never really have thought of killing anyone. I just really really really really really really really really really really really really really really reallyreallyreally want them to get out of the world.
That's all.
And then I become just a liiiitle more conscious, and I realize...that I'm still irritated, but less homicidal.
Then I become just a liiiiitle more conscious than that, and then I realize that I'm awake and there's nothing I can do about it, and oh well.
And then, and only then, sometimes, does the Sleep Rage end.

P.S. I realize how fully crazy this post makes me sound. I guess I am. Sorry bout it.

I totally know what you mean!! I feel the same. I'm pretty sure noises are amplified 1000x during this stage of consciousness.
You're not crazy. When I'm in that stage of barely awake/barely asleep, I have visions of beating people up. Like grabbing them by the back of the hair and smashing their head against a window. Don't worry, these are people I don't like. I never dream about beating your face.
