If they respond to you with a muffled, “ughhhhhh,” keep at it. They’re awake, but don’t want to wake up. Remind them of what’s going on that day and possibly tempt them with coffee or breakfast. You could also try gently touching their shoulder to help wake them.

You can also set an alarm to go off, instead.
Don’t turn it up so far that even you are uncomfortable in the room. Just turn it up enough to make it difficult for the person to sleep.
Otherwise, use a treat or a toy to lure the pet into the room. You can even use it to lure the pet on top of the person!
If you don’t have much time, use the microwave! Heat some bacon up or put a baked good in there to warm up. If the scent wafting through the house isn’t enough, try bringing them breakfast in bed. Not only do you get them up, but they’ll feel like you’re doing them a favor, getting you in their good graces.
Using whole-house heating and air to change the temperature may make you a little uncomfortable! You can also open a window, if it’s very warm or very cold outside.
You could also open the door to “check on them,” and close it after you.
Another option is run some water in the nearest bathroom or have a conversation outside of their door.
If you have an instrument, such as a drum or trumpet, try playing it in their room. You could also try a whistle.
You can use headphones for this prank, but make sure the music isn’t so loud that it damages their hearing.
It’s best to grab them by the backs of their ankles or calves so you don’t hurt their feet.
You could also shake the bed frame a little instead of the mattress.
Stand by with a towel to help put them back in a better mood!
Use your hands to gently guide the person by turning them in the right direction.
Because sleepwalkers tend to be very deeply asleep, it will be hard to wake them. Try saying their name loudly or gently shaking their shoulder. If that doesn’t work, try a loud noise or spritz a bit of water in their face. Keep in mind, they will be very disoriented when you wake them up and will also likely be very cranky.
