Negative sentence

[ She didn't boot and flip and wake me up with pug nose and mischievous eyes a challenging quarter-inch from my sleeping face.] In this sentence, to where does the negative word "didn't" affect? Did it mean that she didn't boot and flip and didn't wake me up or did it mean that she didn't boot and flip but she woke me up?

That is not standard English. I don't know what it is to boot or flip in this context, and if she woke you up, your face would not be sleeping, so I am reluctant to answer. Where did you see this?

It's impossible to tell, because it is a very poorly constructed sentence.
