Here's what a true earthquake veteran does for middle of the night earthquakes:

Wakes up
Realizes it's an earthquake
Thinks - Crap it's an earthquake [still in bed]
a few seconds later - I wonder if I should get out of bed [still in bed]
a few seconds later - seems to be getting stronger
a few seconds later - maybe I should get out of bed [still in bed]
a second later - either decides it's getting stronger and they're going to get in the door way or decides it's slowing down and lays there
after it's over - crap, it's 3am. Work is gonna suck tomorrow. Hell, I'm up. Let's go see who else is online and how bad it was. And make sure I don't smell gas.
