What gives Rude Awakening and how long it lasts

Specific interactions trigger the 4 hours Angry version, which lasts 240 Sim minutes. These interactions are Avoid Bedtime and Ask for Something, Splash, Wake Up, and Wake Up and Warn.

Another Angry version lasts 2 hours, or 120 Sim minutes, and also has a weight of 2. The Tense version has no timer, meaning it stays while its cause lasts.

The emotion with the largest total weight becomes your Sim's current mood. None of the 3 versions have hidden effect multipliers or traits that change them.

You can avoid the 4 hours Angry version by skipping the interactions that cause it. Do not use Wake Up, Splash, Wake Up and Warn, or Avoid Bedtime and Ask for Something.
