AITAH for waking my (F22) boyfriend (30M) up after only 4 hours of sleep?

Despite knowing we had to be up today to clean, my boyfriend chose to stay up until really early in the morning.

I said okay and just went to bed.

Now, she’s cleaning the house alone and wants to wake him up.

I’ve been cleaning on my own since then, and I’m just getting frustrated trying to get everything done with no help because of his own choices.
