Does anyone have any witty/caustic replies for me to give to people who ring me up at the crack of dawn (that's 9 a.m. to me) and then say "Did I wake you?"

Try reciting Shakespeare, and if they bother you again, we'll find a longer passage for next time!
O sleep! O gentle sleep!
Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs,
Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee,
And hush’d with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber,
Than in the perfum’d chambers of the great,
Under the canopies of costly state,
And lull’d with sound of sweetest melody?
2 Henry IV (3.1.7-16)
