Only when the government threatens to kick down your door while you sleep. Or when I forgot to do an assignment in college. Nah, probably slept like a baby tbh

I sleep so soundly that my husband says it's like I lie down and immediately fall unconscious. Usually sleep immediately; can barely recall lying down.

I struggle to not fall asleep, driving, even if it's light outside. And noise doesn't wake me up. Can't even hear hurricanes. Although, I usually don't hear them, even when I'm awake.

It's probably my APD low-key exhausting me, all day. Always been like this, except when the kids were infants. Reading makes me feel more alert, so that's probably why I've always loved to read.

I used to fall asleep almost the moment my head hit the pillow and sleep soundly till my alarm went off. For about 3.5 years, I never went into a deep sleep because my son would have breathing problems, so I was always half awake listening for his breathing. One catch in his breath from the opposite side of the house and I'd be sprinting to his room in the dark. (I learned to clear a path before bed)

Ever since then I've had sleep issues. Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep. Sometimes I wake up in the night. Sometimes I wake early. More than a decade later, I'm doing better, but I still have trouble sleeping. I have to sleep in a perfectly dark room with my "hurricane" (sound of wind/waves/brook/rain) with no motion in bed. I sure do miss my perfect sleep.

It's a gift. I slept with one ear open, while my kids were young, and I was chronically exhausted, but then they started sleeping well and now I'm back to being a bed rock.

My son also sleeps deeply, but the other two are constantly wandering around. I don't hear it, tho.
