Merhaba.

Help me please on how to express this thought in Turkish,

because I got kind of lost in translation...

 

"I was afraid I could have woken you up if I had called you before,

because I thought you had been sleeping before the journey."

 

My try:

"Sizi uyandırmayayım diye daha önce telefon etmekten korktum,

çünkü yolculuktan önce uyuduğunuzu düşündüm."

It looks ok. to me.

 

You can also say it by making  the first verb [uyandırmak ] positive,

Sizi uyandırırım diye daha önce telefon etmekten korktum,

Yolculuktan önce uyuduğunuzu/uyumakta olduğunuzu sandım bu yüzden sizi uyandırmaktan korktuğum için telefon etmedim.

 

 

 

Also i think you can say like that.
