HOW DO YOU SLEEP?

Are you a light sleeper or a deep one? Are you the kind of sleeper who tosses and turns while sleeping or stays quietly in one corner of the bed. ? I am a very light sleeper - the slightest sound will get me up. I am not sure about the tossing and turning, -usually I sleep on one side of the bed, but occasionally I would awaken to find one of my pillows on the floor.
So , what kind of sleeper are you? Have you ever knocked someone off the bed while deep in sleep?

Things have changed for me regarding sleep.
These days I feel that I sleep heavier when I do sleep due to the fact that I toss and turn a lot.
So on the rare occasion when I fall into deep slumber, I do sleep heavily.
I used to be a very light sleeper, but due to medicines, that has changed.

I am a pretty light sleeper as well and if I wake, it hard to get back to sleep. I have not (yet) pushed someone off the bed.

@Nawsheen I think you are unnecessarily feeling scared. On your part, you could take best precautions and could use heavy locks and alarms, in case someone tries to break in.
Don't you have night watchman and street dogs in your area?

@Kandae11 Why I know I am sleeping well is because I get dreams (lol)

@allknowing I dream quite a bit as well. There was one period when I would dream the winning cash pot numbers.

I'm usually a light sleeper where if a door is open or a dog barks from a different part of the house I wake up. Or even if my boyfriend gets up in the middle of the night I'll wake up. If I'm on the bed alone i toss and turn if my boyfriend is still in bed then i stay in one spot

I am a light sleeper. Actually, I have been sleeping alone on my bed since my sisters got married. I know I don't toss around when sleeping but whenever there is someone sleeping beside me, that is the time that I toss and keep on turning. It seems like I do not like to share my bed with anyone.

@Kandae11 I wonder what if after we get married. Our husbands will be very poor creatures. They might be the one who will suffer when they share the bed with us.

I have always been a light sleeper and getting into a deep sleep is very rare for me. I can wake up with a very slightest sound.

If you snore, you just cannot realize it yourself, it is someone else, who is sleeping besides you would tell you.

@sol_cee I do not think s/he wanted to bully you. S/he would actually have noticed your snoring and told you about it.

I haven't knocked anyone out of bed, but I got knocked out of bed. I'm a tosser and a hard sleeper for the most part. There are certain sounds that will wake me - the phone and my children when they were little. Other than that I sleep through everything.

Since moving here I sleep good, unless something makes the dogs bark. I am sure I toss and turn. I also sleep talk and sleep walk, not as bad as I did when I was a child but I still do at times.

Getting to sleep is very difficult for me but once i sleep, I sleep soundly and I have to sleep at the same time every day, otherwise it will be very difficult to fall asleep.

@Margaret29 I know what you mean - circumstances can change that pattern.

@Kandae11 very true. ..but it is difficult to follow the pattern. For example I try to sleep at the same time, but there will some work unexpectedly being a mother...

I am a bit of a deep sleeper. Not really deep, but I guess I'm a deep sleeper since it's definitely not easy to wake me up, especially when I haven't had enough sleep. Loud sounds such as my alarm and my mother's shouts will definitely wake me up, but I won't even realize when someone opened the door to my room and take one of my snacks, which definitely sucks, but yeah.
About movements while I sleep, I don't think I move that much. Even when I'm sleeping with anyone else on one bed, I've never moved away, maybe just small movements such as tilting my head or rolling to the side, but never really moved away. And what I meant by moved away is something like suddenly end up on the other side of the bed or even on the floor.

@Kandae11 That actually happened to me lol. A burglar came in to my house and almost stole a laptop when my mom screamed and my sister pulled the laptop bag from him and everyone just panicked. And yet I'm sleeping comfortably until my mom woke me up to say that there was a burglar.
