I’m light sleeper. I wasn’t when I was a kid.  I could have slept through most anything. I remember when I was about 13 one of my friends planned a “kidnap sleep over”. She had her mom get a hold of all of our parents to come and “kidnap” us in the wee hours of the morning. It took them about 10 minutes to wake me up and another 15 to get me out of bed.  I don’t have any found memories of that day, except for going back to bed.

Now, as an adult, I sleep about a hard as a feather.  I don’t saw logs, I saw chop sticks.  I blame part of that on helping take care of my niece and nephew when they were infants.  The other part, I have no idea.  The dogs shaking, scratching, licking, dreaming. My husband coming to bed late. The neighbors loud alarm clock.  I wake up on and off and that’ doesn’t do well for me.

So I’m trying ear plugs while I’m sleeping.  Not sure how it’s going to work because they field weird inside my ear canal.  Hope I can sleep with them in my ears all night.  I’ll keep you updating on this riveting new development.
