Are you a heavy sleeper or a light sleeper?


Kind of strange, cause I'm a heavy sleeper, but if someone 'wakes' me up I can respond to them and even look at them apparently, but never actually wake up and I'll have no memory of it happening or anything said even if they tell me later, I can also evidently turn off my alarm clock in my sleep which is a... problem to say the least xD
I'm definitely a heavy sleeper - once I close my eyes I'm usually asleep within 5 minutes and there's little that could disturb my sleep then. I've slept through numerous earthquakes only to be confused when people ask me about it the following morning :D
I am an extremely light sleeper. As in someone just has to step past the doorframe & I am up and on my feet.
Growing up on a farm you never know when one of the animals might just run into trouble. Particularly during spring & foaling season for the horses. So I learned how to wake up near instantaneously.
Depends where I am. If I'm unfamiliar with the place I'll always wake up at 5am and I'll never fully go to sleep. If it's at home 50/50 if I sleep heavily or not. I've been known to fall asleep to loud rap music playing but I can wake up when someone coughs in the next room.

I typically sleep in 4 , 2, and 1 hour chunks, in that order. (REM cycles?)
If I have to get up at the end of a chunk, I'm fine.
But if I'm awakened in the middle of a chunk, blech.
Why do you get so little sleep?
@R3DthatDude Seven hours is within the average.
I used to be such a heavy sleeper! Like there was a massive accident out the front of my house - a motorbike was hit by a car and thrown down the street with sparks everywhere and people screaming, ambulances and police sirens (that my husband called) and I slept right through it. Since having a kid that wakes multiple times though he just has to whisper “mummy” and I’m awake 😐
Bring back the deep sleeper!
Heavy, unless I went to sleep knowing I should be a light sleeper that night. I've slept through the craziest shit of my mom's and little brother's lives, but got woken up by things like a slight breeze or the sound of a spider on the ceiling before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kinda both. Like im sleep and still dreaming and dont hear sounds (like BOOM!) and stuff but i can still hear people talking in the background if they pass by
Heavy and sound sleeper for sure. Yes, the only exceptions will be if I am having high fever or not feeling well then my sleep will be disturbed. Otherwise not.
Mostly light sleeper. But i do have my moments where an eartquake couldn't wake me. I think i tend to sleep heavy on the weekends because i have weekends off, so i know i can fully relax and it's reflective in my sleeping.
Im a heavy sleeper but i sneak into my room and i wake up. Go about it in a nonsneaky way and ill stay asleep.
I'm an extremely light sleeper. It's annoying because every tiny thing or sound wakes me up, but also good because I never sleep past my alarm 😅
I shoot straight up in bed at night if I hear a spider on the bathroom ceiling. I’m an exceptionally light sleeper.
Real heavy sleeper, used to need a person to wake me up cause I couldn't hear my alarm
I'm a heavy sleeper nothing can wake me up except my cat when she break my door and jump on me.
I'm a light sleeper I've had my house broken into and Im up and ready if I hear any noises.
I can sleep through a hurricane, but only get about 4-6hours of sleep at best.
I'm such a heavy sleeper. It's so bad to the point I have 5+ alarms set to wake me up. 😭
I'm both, since I turned 40 my sleep patterns are all fucked up.
i have no idea if i'm heavy or light... maybe towards the heavy side... i rarely have disturbed sleep after i get to sleeping... rarely after long nights i wake up 30 mins after the alarm starts
It is hard to explain...
I'm both, depends on situation.
Sometimes I can sleep trough worst noise outside without even waking up.
Other nights I can wake up every 5min of every slightest pin drop.
I'm a light sleeper and i am actually aware of what's going on around me when i'm asleep like i can hear people gossiping outside my room clearly when i'm 100% of sleep but i wake up late.
One knock on the door intentionally while i'm asleep, i would actually respond. But i can tell if it's not done on purpose.
I am a light sleeper
I woke up when there are footsteps
Once I'm actually asleep I'm usually a pretty heavy sleeper.
If I'm in a comfortable environment I'm a heavy sleeper. If not. I'm a light sleeper
I'm pretty much a heavy sleeper , i take Seroquel and it knocks me out
I often have issues falling asleep as well as getting up. Sleeping itself works just fine, I just have to get to there. And out of it.
Once I fall asleep, I'm dead to the world but I'm crap at the beginning and end.
I'm somewhere in the Middle.
Or, it just depends.
Depends but usually a light sleeper. Heavy if alcohol is involved
Light or somewhere in the middle, unless I'm too tired, in that case I'm a heavy sleeper.
I am a super light sleeper because of my cats, if they get locked out they will come home around 2 am and they meow to let me know they are there
It takes hours for me to get to sleep even when I can barley see the road I sit down and I’m wide awake
My sleeping schedule varies often. I used to be a heavy sleeper but these days I'm more of a light sleeper.
Depends how tired I am. If I’m exhausted it’d be impossible to wake me up
I get maybe 3-4 hours of broken sleep on any average night ! Insomnia, sucks!
When I'm working day shifts I'm a heavy sleeper. When I'm working nights I'm a light sleeper.
Heavy... I actually have had some crazy things done to me while asleep
I'm a Heavy sleeper on my week off. Light sleeper on working days.
I am a heavy sleeper u have to scream in my face or touch me or play lode music to wake me up and I can sleep a long time from 2:00AM to 2:00PM Is that bad or is it just me ?
