It happened in the Sunnyside Street area of Belfast shortly before 4 this morning.
The intruder made off with money and an Apple watch.
A PSNI spokesperson said:
"At approximately 3.45am a male awoke to find an unknown male standing in the bedroom holding a knife. This man asked for money, which he was given. He then fled the scene with a sum of cash and an Apple watch."
