I consider myself a pretty light sleeper. I usually wake up to the slightly noises and even changes of light. There have been a lot of times where the TV would shut off and I would wake up. (yes I wake up to it getting darker too) - even text messages wake me up, though it is kinda rare for me to get them while I'm asleep. I wonder if insomniacs are generally lighter sleepers. I consider myself an insomniac and am generally a pretty light sleeper. It would make since, considering it is hard for insomniacs to fall and stay asleep.
My dad is also a light sleeper, probably even moreso than I am. If he is taking a nap in the livingroom, or is even sleeping in his bedroom, it is pretty much impossible for me to not wake him. He's even come out asked me about whatever the heck is going on, when I am just getting food or whatever. I can remember living in our old house, and I would as quietly as possible put down the remote to the point where it would barely make any noise, and it would still wake him. I probably get it from him. I find it shocking that he is just a light sleeper, considering how tired he can be. I could be wrong, but if someone is tired, I think they generally sleep deeper/heavier.
My brother, on the other hand, I would consider him a heavy sleeper. I cannot count the number of times where he would sleep through HIS alarm, but it would wake ME up. That definitely says something about me being a light sleeper and him being a heavy sleeper. (our rooms are right next to each other, but still)
Now, there are times where I do sleep through stuff. Back in November, I meant to go with my dad to the store, to Pizza Hut, and to Wendy's, but I didn't wake up when he called my name. What's funny though, I DID hear him call my name. However, I was actually dreaming. It was one of those dreams where actual noises are also happening in your dream. Have any of you ever experienced that? I was also actually waking up in said dream, which is called a "false awakening" to my knowledge, but I digress. I may make another topic about different types of dreams.
But yeah, I'm curious to find out how lightly/heavily you guys sleep.
