Let's talk about sleep. I'm curious as to what kind of sleeper you are. Are you a light sleeper? Or a heavy one, just like a log?lol. Do you like to leave the music on when you sleep? Or are you the type who wants to sleep with no sound, and get annoyed when you hear dogs barking from your neighbor and disrupt your sleep? I have always been a light sleeper. I hate it when I hear a loud banging from out of nowhere when I'm in the middle of my sleep. I didn't like it either when the music is on when I was going to sleep. But, that changed, I now prefer to have music on while I take my snooze. Probably to diffuse all the other noise from outside.

I don't get a full night sleep as well. I sleep about 3 hours and then have to go to the bathroom. When I go back to bed sometimes it's so hard to sleep. Then there are times I get woken up by my baby...Oh I long to have that quality sleep I used to have when I was younger.

Actually I could hardly know whether I am a light or heave sleeper. It is fluctuating between light and heavy, I believe. I am quite sensitive to those sounds which I am not familiar with like the unusual barking of the neighbor’s dog during night time when its master stayed away from home for vacation a couple days ago. The barking always disturbed me in the middle of my sleep. The most annoying sound is the phone ringing in the middle of the night. Nevertheless, music as well as sound of rain and wind could hardly able to awake me.

Isn't it amazing the sound of rain and wind can make you sleep tight.

i am a light sleeper as well and i don't like people to make noise when i am sleeping... even the slightest noise can wake me up and annoyed me a lot... and i will be really angry if i am being waken up for no obvious reason... my parents know it very well not to disturb me when i am sleeping... i usually need at least an 8 hours sleep to be able to function properly...

I am asleep two seconds after my head hits the pillow and I remember nothing until I wake, bright, fresh, and ready to go, about five hours later. I never sleep during the day. I prefer to sleep with windows and door open and no curtains drawn. Light doesn't bother me because once I am in bed, I am asleep. I love fresh air and I want to wake as soon as (or before) the sun rises. Noise doesn't bother me either.

Lucky you, you get no interrupted sleep. That is really quality sleep.

In the past when I lived alone, I would turn on the music when I was sleeping. Now I am married, and I don't want to bother my husband with the music. So I will turn off the music when we are sleeping. I think I am a heavy sleeper because I am tired everyday and I hope to have a good sleep.

I was the opposite. When I was single I sleep in quiet, but do from time to time listen to music. When I got married, my husband cannot sleep without music on, so I think it kind of rubbed on me.

Hi sophylline! :) During school days, I should sleep at least eight hours so that I could better concentrate on class discussions. My mom told me that I sleep like a clock.. Because my body turns like a clock while asleep. But I don't talk while sleeping.. :) While my classmates say that I snore so loud.. :) Hehehehe..

I am generally a light sleeper but if I am really tired I will go into a deep sleep, which is almost impossible to wake me up from. :-) Most of the time any little sound will wake me up. I like total silence when I am trying to sleep so I turn my computer off and everything else. Sometimes music will put me to sleep but not all the time. I guess it depends on the type of music.

Interesting, I guess some light sleeper can get pretty hard to wake up, understandably, due to exhaustion. I like to listen to jazz songs or bossa nova when I go to sleep.

I am a pretty average sleeper. I don't sleep too lightly, but I am not such a heavy sleeper that someone can't wake me up either. I do, however, need a really loud alarm to wake me up in the morning. I have a nice alarm in my cellphone that never fails to wake me.

That's nice. Someone who's in between. You're lucky you don't have any problems with waking up if you have no intention to.

When i do sleep i sleep like a log but it is not often enough. I have been having alot of trouble sleeping lately. When i do sleep i keep waking in the night as well. I have a medical problem that makes sleep hard to come by as well. When i was sleeping on a regular basis it was kinda a light sleeper i would say but that was so long ago now lol i am not sure anymore.

I usually fall asleep in less than 15 minutes when I am really tired but I am a light sleeper in general. I am easily disrupted by any noises from anywhere the house, but I can get back to sleep quickly. I only get sleep about 5-6 hours and I had already the habit of waking up early no matter what time I sleep at night. I have tried listening to soft music before I sleep and it's very effective. Another way to induce me to sleep easily is what usually husband and wife do during initmate moments. It's sort of a sleeping dose. LOL

Lol! Oh I know what you mean. It is a sleeping dose alright! It's good if you can get them regularly though.LOL

I used to be a heavy sleeper until I had my daughter and now the slightest noise and I am awake which can be really annoying especially when I cant get back to sleep! I usually go to sleep with the tv on, but I put it on a timer so that it goes off after a couple of hours other wise if it stays on it wakes me up during the night! I wish that I could go back to being a heavy sleeper as I really miss getting a full nights sleep! My neighbours on both sides have dogs that bark during the night and it always wakes me up, my dog very rarely barks so it is pretty annoying when everyone elses dogs bark! We also have noisy people across the road and up the road a bit that like to party and carry on which is forever waking me up, but on the up side I am moving in a couple of days and oh I cant wait for that

Oh motherhood! That's one of the things that also changed my sleeping habits. I am always lacking sleep because of my baby. I don't anymore know the meaning of a good, full nights sleep!LOL..good for you that you will soon be moving away.

I'm a really light sleeper, unfortunately, so I don't get much sleep. The slightest noise, will wake me, and I can't stand any light at all. I can't even stand the light from outside, when it's not real dark. I have pets, so it's rare to hear complete quiet.

I'm a very light sleeper, there has to be no sound, no light and it can't bee too hot. I always get so mad when my neighbors children set off fireworks in the middle of the night and wake me up.
