Waking up angry!

Ever since putting the clocks back Hannah's been waking from her afternoon nap in a fit of rage.
It takes a good 15 minutes to calm her down, poor sausage!

We thought, at first, that it was because her body clock was still thinking it was dinner time, but she's not interested in food.

She has two naps a day; 9:30am-11am and 2:30-4/4:30.
It's only her afternoon nap that sees her waking badly.
She wakes first thing happily and will stay happy for up to an hour in her cot playing and chatting (heheh mean Mummy refusing to go in to get her until 7 ) and her morning nap is the same, lots of happy chatter.

I wondered if it was the neighbours doing something at this time that was waking her, but the last two days I've been outside around her wake-up time and it's been quiet - yet she still wakes in the same way.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any ideas?
Teeth?
Nightmares?

Livvy gets like that if she has been woken also. But I have noticed that in general she is generally grumpier in the late afternoons, right when you need to get dinner done.

Ethan is the same.. but he only mostly has one sleep now and it's if he gets up from it too early..but sometimes randomly he is angry when he gets up and outside seems to help...it's awful though eh:(

Yep, Tom is often grumpy after his sleep too.  He often either needs to be left alone in his cot to get his sh*t together or else we bring him out and stick wiggles on and he sits quietly on my knee.

If Lauren wakes in a really bad mood, its generally because she has been woken mid sleep cycle. I sit on the couch with her with the TV on and let her go back to sleep for 10 mins or so and she wakes up happy as larry!

Once I even laid with her on the couch after she had woken mid sleep cycle and she went back to sleep for nearly 2 more hours!! I managed to untangle myself from her and continue with my chores while continued her sleep on the couch

Hannah is also getting to the age where she will be dropping a sleep - sometime in the next 3 or 4 months probably, so a lot of parents try and get one big sleep as the pattern.

Amy & Sophie both go to bed at 1ish and sleep until 3ish (although Sophie often goes down at 12.30 if she has had a busy morning). Her morning sleep is gettin shorter - it was 8 - 10, but now it is 8.30 - 9.45ish.

i wish eden would have two sleeps a day.

toby has never woken happy...so i have no good help, sorry. but my first thought was maybe she is ready to give up a sleep.
