Have you ever woken yourself up by sitting bolt upright in bed? Ever? I know I haven't. But people do it pretty much constantly in books and films. Why?
Actually, I have, only once and it remains one of the wierder experiences of my life; with a partner at the time for whom weird experiences, missing time, light and stuff were the norm. Anyway, I woke up and I was sat completely upright in bed - and completely awake. Not dozy awake, but 100% awake. There's more to the story, but I'll leave it there for dramatic tension.
It think the duvet was crumpled around me like a Ford Mondeo after hitting an embankment, and the stars twinkled in the night sky like LED's flashing on an expensive network switch. :)
