as lighthearted, cheeky and playful as your intentions may be, it is kinda irritating to be woken up in such a way. It does depend on your relationship though as to whether this comment is valid.
This kind of depends on which sex you are. If you are a boy tickling another boy, no, it's not normal. If you are a girl tickling a girl, yes, it is normal. And a boy tickling a girl and otherwise is also normal.
It sounds annoying but also it kinda reminds me of my cat poking me in the face for no reason except, he's not tickling me. Of course it's probably just because he doesn't know how to tickle.
