All the things you list I count as mere annoyances. I don't even get annoyed at the waking up in the middle of the night - I just scratch behind the ears and go back to sleep.
Static would forget the other people in the house, would crawl into bed near me and go to sleep. If someone other than me made a noise (a snort, a sigh, jingle of collar tags) she'd wake up and attack the nearest living thing- me. And not "I want to get away from you" fear-attack. I needed stitches a few times, and I never made any move to hold, contain, or even touch her. She was still doing this after 6 months, and after the 3rd night in a week waking up to a furious ball of claws and teeth savaging my arm (and once, getting some deep wounds on my head), I had to walk outside to keep from responding in anger. The next day I started the search for a new home for her.
